I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation. I refuse to see Black Panther because they didn't ask the Black Ranger to be in it.

I stopped giving a poo poo about trackers the moment you had to present two forms of ID and fill out a loving personality test to download from them.

Listen to reason, man. Why make your job difficult?
Lame. Maybe it had something to do with always getting DDOS'd for no apparent reason. Sucks because they had some relatively hard to find stuff on there.

I like having a local copy of my music because there's a ton of stuff that isn't streamed and with streaming all the music could be gone tomorrow and you'd be hosed.

LOL at having to keep ratios or lose your account. Being part of a private tracker club in almost 2017 seems weird as hell, but I still use blogspot blogs to download music albums (which is way faster and safer and a bigger selection than using torrents, usually).
