..imagine you come to mudcat and discover all the forum threads have been permanently deleted overnight..
The song database is still available, but the only content on the front page is PR 'news' releases from record labels...

The reason given being "it's a major update that gives modern users what they want".

No debate, minimal notice, no regard for protests.. just discarded by one almighty corporate decision...


That's exactly what happened to IMDB recently.. years of user generated database
lovingly contributed by enthusiasts, film makers, academics, critics,
all that accumulated serious knowledge, interaction, and researchable material, just disappeared forever...

Kinda puts our petty grumbles & dissatisfactions with mudcat into perspective.........
