Oink is no more.
I don't know how many of you all used the pink pig, but its death is huge for me. I downloaded unholy amounts of music from there, and certainly bought all kinds of records, CDs, and even occasionally MP3s based on what I found there. For me, Oink (along with Dissensus really) was instrumental in massively expanding the boundaries of the types of music I sought out. It really was a huge community of music fans, and its death will be mourned. dj/rupture, who was shocked to find so much of his stuff there, has a good piece on the whole thing.
