Hi There

Just a little question on the side here.
I was a member of what.cd and had 2 invites to giveaway before the site closed.
Are these invites lost or is there a way to use them?

They are lost mate. No site to invite to... You will have to try and find a invite to one of the replacements

What.CD is now dead :( Raided by the French Police I believe... Sad, sad day. Almost 2.7 million torrents, gone... :(

4 music trackers were born after the death of What.CD. I know some of the staff of What.CD are now in PTH, but I dunno whether the rest of the staff have scattered across the other 3 trackers. Maybe someone else can share this bit of info with us.

The two best post-What.CD trackers to join are Apollo & PTH. The 2nd is much harder to get into right now :) Stats are self-explanatory.
