Updated Design

I think it is losing credibility for several reasons. Firstly it is the main place attacked by the RIAA and others. Secondly it is now a source of a lot of corrupt files and possibly viruses (see firstly). Thirdly, I believe the number of supernodes available is lessening as the network it uses is squeezing it out. There are other reasons, but these are the main ones.

I don't believe the admin here are getting rid of it altogether, the forums are staying. The board is merely widening it's interest base. I don't know this, but that seems to be the message they are sending out.

Interesting and concerning aspect.

Anyway, I have K++ on my PC and millions of ppl have it out there - if you
look on oldversion.com it is most popular downloaded file. So ppl have this nice
decentralizing working tool ;) No one can stop us... It is out there...

I know there are some corrupt versions on here, and I have found a couple in the past, but I don't download popular American music that often anyway, so it doesn't affect me too much. I'd use a different program to get those songs.
As for virus, it's just a question of common sense really - just pay more attention to the filesizes, and have a firewall suite installed.

Well don't let them get their own way then, otherwise they will push you around even more.

No that doesnt exist :P You have to make a poll and ask the community what they want to hear and then you can post it :)

That's how it works these days ;)

Oh stop it (as REALITY hands 7th a tissue), I guess we could say you just do whatever you want without a care in the world for any of us (as REALITY opens a new box of Tampons), would that be a fair comment as well. Trurth is theres is a happy medium to be had...

If that&#39;s the case, why do you so often feel the need to comment on what l do?

Why don&#39;t you just get on with your life and leave me alone? Or do they spell Mod with G now?

It seems to a lot of folk here that you don&#39;t consider this to be a community. Some of us signed in the other day and found the forum almost impossible to read, your comments were along the lines of take it or fuck off. But as a community we fought back. Sour grapes now will do you no favours.

Don&#39;t be so hostile 7th, the people that hate you are a both a minority and an unknown quantity. You&#39;ve taken VB&#39;s baby and made into something big, be proud of that.

it&#39;s a minority... yet it&#39;s an unknown quantity, so how do you know it&#39;s a minority? :huh:

who is VB? excuse my ignorance, i don&#39;t think i was here in the early days.

i didnt want to start a new thread for this but can i please ask that we change the icons on the right hand side of a thread to more clear ones. i mean the new skin is cool but the icons are quite difficult for me to distinguish. i mean i usually go to a sub forum and immediately look for threads i haven&#39;t read or which have a new post since i last read it. using ipb basic skin was easy to tell which were which but it is hard on this skin.

Pick the IPB GFX version and you get what you want.
