OK were were talking about leechers in the chatroom and it occured to me that the reason I originally came to this site was to get tunes, I wasn't really interested in finding a nice community to chat about music and other stuff with, I just wanted tunes and lots of 'em!! Of course once I found out what a pleasant group of individuals you all were I stuck around. Plus I thought if I got to know everybody better it'd lead to more tunes
OK that last bit was a joke, but I basically stuck around because of the community and made a lot of friends here, and now I share as well as leech (well probably not to a respectable ratio but I try) and help out by lending my webspace when I can.
But basically, I began as a leech So I just wondering, anybody else the same or just me? And if not how did you find TA/why did you keep coming back?

i found out about TA through word of mouth. I started coming because practically NOBODY in my area knows anything about trance. TA is pretty much the only place I can talk to people on the same level. Also, I love how everyone shares and how this is truly a global community.

i found this website on Napster when i was looking up trance music and www_trancEaddict_com pops up. so i got every archive that i could get and i enjoy my TA Archive compilations more than any other cds that i have. For the past 11 months ive been in TA though I dont even have a cd burner anymore so i havnt made any cds since early FEB of 2001, which totally sucks. but i still come here all the time to get information, share information and ask other peoples opinions on cds before i go out and buy them. im glad that i found this website or i propably wouldnt be such a trancEaddict that i am today.

i found TA the same way as Justin did.... through Napster and the ID3 tags on MP3's.... but, like most others, i was on here for months before registering (see: leeching)... but i hope my contribution to this society has more than made up for it But make no mistake, i'm still a leecher And why shouldn't i be? all the good stuff to get from this site! I'm not going to be some pretentious asshole who's preoccupied with image and claim that i don't leech.... anyone who's on this site and doesn't leech is either a lier or a moron....or both - missed opportunities!
i originally came for the unknown tracks part... i was complaining to jason (j-spot) one day about finding a track from a PvD liveset... he told me to come and post a sample here... i've been hooked since... damn, that was a long time ago...

ok, really I dont leech from here. I used to snag as many m.vids as I could when there used to be a hella lot up...then I saw the unknown tracks, got a song IDed..just hung for a bit, then jumped in
Really..I dont DL much, ever since napster went down, my file sharing has gone way down..

i don't remember how i found TA, I always look for trance videos so maybe i came here for the vidz.
Now I just dl mp3z from TA. Waited 6 months or more b 4 registering for forum,I waited so long becuase I feel forums are addictive, once you begin posting and know the forum, you are hooked.
