Oh I love vinyl and yes the mastering on albums, everything down the chain, the styus, the cartridge, the preamp and probably the biggest thing, your speakers. I have played new albums that sounded bad and then there's some albums like Dire Straits "Brother's In Arms" that is just a master...

And apparently I was looking at the first page.... So yeah Plex started getting into the space of streaming "free" to watch TV and Movies and yep, your typical crap stuff. I mean not to say you can't find something good, I also don't use that stuff. Essentialy Plex is really meant for peop...

Ah I should have responded to this long ago. Yes yes I use plex. I do run it on a PC so I can a little more performance on the transcoding. I do share with family and a couple friends. The 4k stuff, I feel like my old Skylake is getting aged out, just haven't had the money to do a new build but 4k t...

Holy *****! That is great! Never would have thought that all the way back in 2004 by joining a chatroom on WinMX (It was called Don't Piss Me Off, of all the chat rooms that were there, used to be be like what 100+) and WinMX Community. Super cool. And yeah I have a lot of old cringy posts from when...

Boy am I late replying to this... I had to fight my ISP to get my public IP back when they changed the equipment. I have been using plex for about 4-5 years and I run it on a PC with a graphics card. I personally think if you go with a graphics card route, might try AMD cards because nVidia locks yo...

I used to use uTorrent a lot about 10 years ago, and it was compact and light on resources. I was concentrating on building a nice little library of music from lossless--FLAC. It worked well for me. I downloaded and shared a crapload of nice audio. I've gone through a few PCs since then and never i...

I typically will prefer new vinyl simply because it is going to not have all the scratches and pops generally speaking. Used vinyl can be perfectly fine though. I just avoid places like thrift stores because they like to gouge as well and I find they typically sell stuff that is in poor condition. V...

Love vinyl. I did have to tell myself to only buy things I love on vinyl.

I still do torrents. Use Plex as well.

In my experience CAPTCHA isn't perfect but will bring it down to a manageable number. Other things like limiting new users ability to post URL's & images in posts, or which forums they can post in can be helpful too.

So far so good. The forum template is pretty cool. Haven't seen any issues so far.

Not sure how much help I can be, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help...even if it is deleting threads from spammers lol. I have had some attempts at getting a forum going and just hard to get an audience on a forum.

Battye, Not sure what the future holds for CricketMX but having been around for so long I would be willing to assist the effort to ensure that it stays around for as long as possible. That all being said. I think the anti-spam efforts aren't being every effective, definitely needs to be something li...

Ultimately the forum software needs to be updated, adding a captcha to help prevent bots from registering and SSL would be a good idea too...

Oh I remember nutz-n-boltz

I think a lot of us started off in the Don't Piss Me Off chat room on WinMX lol

Boxee looks interesting. Not sure off the top of my head if WD TV lets you add in apps like a FireStick does but I know Plex has apps ported to just about every platform. Over the years I have collected so much stuff, it is nice being able to organize everything .
