In *my* opinion? Not the opinions of everyone in every other thriving collecting community? You, along with Mike and most of the people at this forum, just don't have a clue. I don't need to state my business any further, as I don't feel like talking to brick walls anymore, thanks. Enjoy your mp3s.

Hilarious. Talking of brick walls, let me make it clear for you and others who have attacked Mike: you don't own this site, you don't run this site, and you don't make the rules for this site. Regardless of what is going on elsewhere, mp3s are not banned by this website's owner --- you know the guy who designed this place, and the one who pays for it? Yeah, him.

Right... every person with money and can make rules is inherently flawless and knows exactly what's best for everyone!
The forum is what it is right now, right, but why preventing it to be improved ? That's something I don't understand. We are able to make it better, so why not ?

Setting up a straw man now: whether the owner is right or wrong you are a guest on his site. Mp3 sharing is permitted here and Mike should not be abused for doing something that is permitted by the owner of this forum. If you cannot accept the owners rules, you, or anyone else who has a problem, are perfectly free to set up your own rival website. You can pay the cash, do the admin, and set the rules. Maybe, in time, it will out outdo Queenzone. Until that time, you and the other flaccers should respect the rules and stop abusing Mike.*
*Perhaps Mike might even meet you half way and stop posting mp3 concerts if they have already been shared here in flac (and are still available: many links have died). On the other hand, he might ignore that and he would still within his rights as he is not breaking any site rules.

Just a couple of comments -
-I agree that tapers are vital to the process, but I can't imagine that, back in 1976, they were thinking "those bastards better not convert this to mp3." I just don't think that arguments applies to this situation.
-Technology does not set the rules; consumers do. Until companies come out with "flac-players" and itunes starts charging a buck per flac download, I do not see mp3s going anywhere.
-In essence, because a few morons convert mp3 to flac, everyone should suffer? That seems to be what this boils down to, and that's simply not right. I respect both sides of the argument and cannot see why they can't co-exist.

Right, but what about a taper from 1976 who appears today, wanting to share a recording he hasn't previously shared or traded? He may observe the situation here and refuse to share on the grounds that he doesn't trust that the community will maintain its quality. It has happened several times... just not publically.

mmm I don't understand the problem...
Flac or Mp3 for me is the same, because is a Queen material, and for me is the First important point. We destroy the mp3 annuncer, why?
Nobody Put a gun in ours/yours brains for download it!!!!!
Respect the Mp3 announcer and the flac announcer
If someone don't won't Download the mp3, his don't download it, SIMPLY!!!!
sorry for my english.
