I’m a data hoarder for sure. Have many SCSI Hard Drives in my closet to prove it… I sure miss the olden days when it comes to downloading (and not necessarily pirating). Anyone remember Hotline and/or Carracho? People would set up little servers and take pride in building little communities around specific content. English Dubbed Anime, Web UI resources and files, porn of course, Freeware, foriegn movies, even FONT servers were always fun… It was not just straight forward (you could even chat or email an admin and get a response fairly fast) but it was fun and you could meet like minded people.

I guess I’m just venting because my mom got sick and I haven’t logged into any of my trackers in a year and now I’m back to square one with invites. Uhhhg.
