But yes there is a cost added to it....

Any sane alternative ?
RIP what
That's a proper shit ending to 2016 if I can think of one.
I'm opening my hard drive up to Slsk and Subsonic as soon as I get the technical stuff down. If anyone is doing the same, let me know.
I don't think so. I don't even think we'll have anything in the vein of What again. Today's climate with streaming, with overzealous copyright claims, and with the general filesharing apathy (most people would much rather be passive endpoints for the data ditribution) make it unlikely a startup website today will be anywhere as successful or comprehensive. Someone will try surely, but I wouldn't be so quick to jump on that ship.
For what it's worth, What proved that semi-open access was its greatest strength and I'm sure anyone who comes along to try and get the next best thing rolling will know that. There's no fear of missing out. But we need to change and evolve how we interact with the law and the technology. We can't keep using systems developed in the early 2000s forever.

Ellipses go here.
Community = gone
Repository = gone
Kinda sad, the community part is somewhat replicable, but the repository I doubt it, considering how Hugh Mungus it was.
Looking back remembering how I once suggested it here for it to the mirrored unto usenet. Oh well, who listens.
