The new STG | Welcome The Traders' Den

Sharing the Groove (STG), the wildly successful LOSSLESS bootleg trading community, closed for good a few weeks ago. I put "lossless" in caps because STG was a site where lossy formats like mp3 were not tolerated. Only lossless formats like SHN and FLAC were allowed - mostly traded via bittorrent. So much as a link to another site that posted MP3s could get you banned. (I promise I won't make any comparisons between Sharing the Groove and a certain political party that ruled Germany during World War II)

Since the closing of STG, a bunch of the moderators got together and started a new site. From the looks of it, The Traders' Den will be an even better and more up-to-date torrent site. So if you record or collect bootlegs, have a broadband internet connection, and understand the rules (all files must have blonde hair and blue eyes so that the trading pool is not diluted any further), then go register immediately for The Traders' Den.
