Paine speaks out about waffles.fm

Wow interesting, Paine does not think of it highly.

[RIFKinator]

Why am I not surprised? Many people don't like waffles.fm... Sure it's not as good as OiNK but it's still awesome because it has music we all like :D

[Probability]

yeah but why even bother with it? There is still what.cd and stm. I think 2 is a good start to a hydra. Waffles just seems so unorganized and run by idiots.

[WhoopDeDoo]

Eh, I'd like to get in before I say wether I agree/disagree. Everyone has some bad sides.

[sexydingo]

So far I'm liking what.cd more, but I'd still say its a bit early to say for sure. We'll see how things pan out.

[Defy]

That was pretty brutal, lol.

[LackOfInterest]

Wow +1 for paine for that one :yup:

[WarrenBuffet]

It Means Go To What.cd Guys! :)

[misledhope]

i certainly will not shun waffles just because of paines opinion but i had already been using what as my primary and waffles secondary (tracker not community) and i will just continue that. An admin was nice enough to invite me to waffles so i'm not going to just discard it as trash besides its always better to have multiple sources incase of the almost inevitable happening to one or 2 of them.

If you only plan on using one i'd suggest what, but if you can use both whats the harm support both trackers, the coders did work hard on them both and they both deserve our respect i don't see anyone else doing this for the community.

Cheers what and waffles. Live long.. and prosper

I'm sure everyone thinks of Paine as a God since he was staff at OiNK, but hes just a guy... just like anyone else who would say their opinion, except they would get ignored and shunned for saying such a thing.

Waffles is great, I like it more than What.cd. But, then again I like all the music sites. Waffles is my go-to, and it does feel OiNK-y just a little bit, you can check the first browse page every 5 minutes and have a new cd uploaded in the genre you're looking through.

I think both sites have great potential and it seems they will both do well.

I think the smaller sites (Libble, FunkyTorrents, etc) will stay nice little communities just like they always were and always were content with being. I don't think there's much comparison between them and the two big sites really..


Anyone else wonder why Paine was getting so upset over the situation?

[Alien5]

he's just upset he didn't get invited

[WhoopDeDoo]

he's just upset he didn't get invited
lol, too bad he's a member there.

[titofat]

thanks for info

[Wi0]

Don't listen to Paine. So chilidish. Waffles will be great. It's coming along nicely if you ask me... Better than What.cd IMO

[Dr_Green_Thumb]

in my opinion they are so similar it hard to say who is better. The only difference right now is the freeleech and free 5 gigs at waffles.

[AkaiDoresu]

How waffles can be unorganized and OiNK was so graet if waffels are actually run by OiNK staff... or am I wrong?

[aysomc]

sounds like a little kid on a rant to me, he doesnt like the site so he tries to make it sound bad. both sites have had problems at launch as every site ever launched will have. bottom line is basically which site will have more music readily available in the future and if it keeps up the way it has this will be waffles by a landslide, they already have more than what and will soon have more than STM. make up your own mind after you have used all 3, dont take his word for it. he actually reminded me of all the people that say sct/ftn/fs* arent that good, they say that because they arent a member or they've been banned. i said in the past i think waffles will be the replacement for oink and i still believe that because right now it is the best site for music, that could change but if it does it wont be because of STM or what.

[th0r]

STMUSIC? MOAR LIKE STD LOLOLOL.

I laughed.

[Gish]

After reading that rant I have lost all respect for paine and gained respect for the way waffles staff posted back. it just show the maturity level of paine compared to Waffles staff.
I'm sure he is mad because he is no longer part of oink and in no way part of the great community waffles. he feels cheated with oink's demise and he has no place to mod and pretend like he is in control. all he can do is sit and cry like a baby without a home!

I pity you Paine..oh wait no I don't

[Torn]

Paine obviously knows a thing or two... so instead of creating a post like that, bickering about waffle's problems, why not just help all these websites out?

Paine is the A-rod of music trackers; A bunch of wasted talent just because he doesn't want to play as a team.

I hate Yankees.

[McLovin]

all sites that have promise have problems starting out.. you aren't going to have everything go smoothly from the get go.

as long as they fix those problems in a timely manner.

I like waffles so far, and I would have looked for the same type of domain they did if I was starting a tracker right after oink went down. It's common sense to do so.. they want to make a replacement and get as many old oinkers as possible. it doesn't make sense not to use that to their advantage.

I'm not saying waffles is going to be the replacement, I really have no idea. but honestly I think they're going in the right direction.

[joancrawford]

why is anyone taking the vitriol seriously. the guy clearly is choking on his own vomit because someone insulted him in a chatroom - then he's gone on to use his limited power as spokesperson for the great lost tracker against them.

let's just wait and see - let these trackers battle it out, and by early next spring one will emerge on top: oink will be reannointed

[Probability]

or maybe the site does really suck

[AugustoP]

Just when exactly everyone started to like Oink's staff?
