I spent all of high school and early college on What.cd. I felt the same way when it disappeared.

Has anything close popped back up yet? There was stuff that I couldn't even buy if I wanted to.

Yes actually: redacted.ch is the continuation of it.

Quite a large community at the moment. I would however say that the original torrents that were uploaded when they first re-opened it (it was called Pass The Headphones) a lot of the torrents were junk, but the moderators have done a wonderful job allowing torrents to be "trumped".

There's a couple of invite requests in this thread, so I thought I should point out that one of the rules at Redacted is:

> Even if you offer the invite in a personal message it is still considered a giveaway and against the rules. Responding to public invite requests is prohibited.

Redacted has an interview process if anyone's interested in joining the site, but don't know any current members personally: https://interviewfor.red/en/index.html

Definitely would be interested in an invite. Alternately, some information on where any former what people should be looking for more info.

Any observations you have about their apparent opsec would also be interesting.

Sorry no invites to give, unfortunately. I used what.cd briefly, but I received an invite from an admin who is a good friend of mine growing up, and he's fairly high up the chain. There's definitely the same level of love and care put into the site as before.

Of course, like what, it's really hard to get your ratio up without uploading your own albums, or trumping others. They do however give freeleech tokens every so often.

Does it come close to Oink's pink palace? For me what.cd and waffles.fm never came close to the community there.

To add on to what others have said: an invite would be nice to have, if it isn't too much trouble.

Yeah, some users created a channel on Soulseek and it's now the biggest channel on it.

Well there is the public channel but there was initially a private channel recruited from the early public channel that was much better and more useful but we all got into redacted and things died down.
