This post is so i can snatch a copy of my likkle green man... dunno where the original is though I come across the little fecker lurking on some old HD's every now and then..

jayz though as ye say k_rock it's gonna be sad to see the place go - kinda scroogy to do it just afore Christmas like but there ye are... i know guy's are getting it together to move as much stuff as we allowed and to try make a new home but it's not gonna be the same in a way...

This was the first place I joined up at as i made my way into computers and apart from being the idiot it got me through a very dark period in my own life (Nothing to do with 56k dial up eithere lol)..

Personally I think it is something that should be preserved as is and allowed to continue. WinAmp is a part of internet history imho and I just think it is wrong to simply wipe away 15 years work, not only by the software programmers/developers but by the community as well. In some respects I see it as belonging as much to the community that has supported and contributed a great body of work and not just ownership by some corporate body. Without the community behind it contributing the amazing visuals, plug-ins, ideas, support then winamp would have been gone long ago.

I'll probably go over to the new place in the next day or so but it is gonna be sad to see the original decimated. I know I owe it a lot for helping me to keep the last vestiges of sanity (the dark place I mention above)... it's been great knowing you all in our little virtual incognito world....

I wish you all well and happiness ....

C'est la vie
