The music went, but I still have a myriad of other P2P sites. Having been downloading for many months, I have pretty much what I wanted now anyway. More would just be being greedy.
I was still using AG frequently, as I found the discussion boards to be perfectly paced, with a good mix of people. A nice little community.
But....
Obviously AG are trying to conserve bandwidth now. Without the volume of people, they wont be getting the advertising revenue. So suddenly the people who contributed most to the boards found themselves getting banned for no apparent reason, and certainly with no explanation. Then, anyone with an operamail address was barred as a potential trouble maker. As someone who fell foul of whatever unexpressed rules were in place, I just opened a new ID each time, opening a new e-mail addy each time, the last time at hotmail.
Now there's just nothing there. When I go to AG or any of its sub sections, I get a blank screen and a message saying "Done" on my bottom bar.
So I'm wondering... "Is this just me? Have AG intercepted my PC's ID to ban me exclusively, or is this something that affects everyone?
If anyone else is getting in (or failing to get in, for that matter) I'd love to hear what you have to say.
