It did pale in comparison at first, but it has become a large and dedicated community on its own. Torrents, staff picks, collages, are all there and plentiful.

The people are great too. I went on their irc and mentioned how shocked I was I couldn't find a certain album by a random band. A user there asked which one it was and it took 90 seconds from the time I said the band/album to the user posting the torrent link. I had looked everywhere online and I didn't find the album. I'm a salty pirate who's been at sea for decades and I couldn't find this album.

Then this user not only finds it in flac, but is able to create a torrent, upload it and shared it in under 90 seconds. It still boggles my mind how he pulled it off.

I don't believe in magic, but this was magical lol

I wish I could meet that guy and befriend him or her :). These are the people I would love to chat with. Sadly, I’m not a member of redacted. Maybe I should try to get in.
