kind of scary, but yeah I had no idea what was happening. I just thought it was a site with cute animal pictures..........

this is why it's best not to be part of a huge filesharing organization. just do a bit on the side, people!

RIP OiNK it was an awesome site nevertheless:)

We should all go to protest in front of the jail. he is our hero :cry:

 

anybody with a demonoid.com invite shoot me some love: [email protected]

I've been refusing to join Oink depite the peer pressure. Just sounded too complex for me. Though it proves these things pay off.

 

And as long as they dont bust Soulseek I'll be fine :)

The owner will try and shift blame away from him and onto the users saying he had no control on what people were sharing on the networks.

when is it going to be back again?

 

i had so many ermmmm documents to ermmmm share into my computer :disappointed:

Oink will prob never be back online.

Found this, but no source was given on the forum I stole it from, so take it with a pinch of salt:

 

riggy> you just get bailed for free?

OiNK> yes

--

smartface> does the paypal account have any funds on it ATM?

OiNK> it had some, and the account has been permanently limited

smartface> did they actually question you?

OiNK> of course, for hours

OiNK> the police had very limited technical knowledge, which made the interview quite amusing actually.

OiNK> i wasn't willing to teach them how to use a computer

OiNK> they actually wanted me to teach them how to set up a website

OiNK> i just told them to google it.

smartface> have you become a millionarie with our donations?

Stormx2> Everyone is first and foremost concerned for you and everything, but at the back of our minds (I think) we're interested in what you think will happen the the pink palace. Obviously you won't have a starring roll, but will the backups be destroyed?

OiNK> why would backups be destroyed?

--

j2los> do you think at minimum the forums will be restored as a community for discussing music?

OiNK> i don't know

OiNK> unclear

--

Barth> what about the recent security/privacy changes to the site and the irc? was that a coincidence or did you see something coming?

OiNK> coincidence

--

midnightgt> (without incriminating anyone) is there any copy of the source anywhere? Would you be in support of a second coming of the website? How do you think this reflects on the war on file sharing? (Certainly I do not feel like we are losing)

OiNK> the police were here around 30 mins ago, and they were not happy one bit when they left

OiNK> they asked me how i was coping with all the media coming around

Under the same name or a new name though?

But if it's not called Oink than it's not called Oink

Hahaha, that made me laugh!!
