Bokkepoot Appreciation Thread

I know this probably doesn't belong in this section per se, but in light of the recent takedown of MegaUpload causing major headaches for people worldwide including Queen bootleg collectors, I figured it would be appropriate enough to commend Bokkepoot here for his awesome work on reuploading and restoring the bootlegs, keeping them up to date as much as possible.

Thank you very much good sir! We really appreciate your hard work :-)

I want to thank Bokkepoot too for re-uploading files and also for his contribution on seeding the torrents!

Yeah cheers Bokkepoot, a sterling effort! :)

Yes, Bokkepoot is a really great guy. Thank you sir for your effort.

I am glad that this thread is set up for us to put in our thanks.

Fantastic job man, thank you so much for keeping the spirit alive...

Thank you so much Bokkepoot! Thanks for keeping recordings alive. We do highly appreciate it.

I was thinking this too. Thanks Bokkepoot.

My second love in Queen ( which takes up to today) started when I've discovered queen hub in 2004. Thank you for all this fantastic stuff. You've brought me back to queen family.
I've started in 90's sending vhs tapes to my queen-friends. My Earls Court was perhaps 100 generation copy. Almost unwatchable. And then in 2004 all this ghosts have alived with colours and shapes. Many great discoveries on there. Thank you!

Thanks Bokkepoot!!

Thank you all for your nice words !!

On my turn I want to thank every taper, every person who is upgrading the recordings, making beautiful artwork, merging different recordings to one big final masterpiece.
Personal I'm not inventive to do these mentioned things.

Only thing where I'm good in is keep things alive (Queenhub, hosting-services, torrents, etc).
This is my way to thank you all by sharing your Queenrecordings with the rest of Queenworld !

Just for the record, All recently "lost" Queen shows are back online now. I'm busy right now with the 1986 until now recordings.

BTW. Sorry for spamming the Queenforum with replies on 5 year old topics. Sometimes it is needed because I didn't reply already before in that topic. When possible I try to use an old reply from me and put the new links in there.

For all not shared torrents at the moment... in some days I hope to restart the torrent program I use and everybody can finish the on Queenzone shared torrents ;)

Again... thanks for the nice words, it's really appreciated !!!

Great idea, I gave up on the thank you's page up and down, so thank you very much.

I know the feeling !!
That happened for me too :)
back i the late nineties my interest for Queen was almost gone.
I can remember well that I was sick at home and was searching the internet and did found the Hot Space demo's in som obscure Direct Connect hub....before I didn't heard of Direct Connect hub.
Later I did found the Queenhub (TRS-Romania was running that hub in that time) and I was directly in love again with Queen !!
Remarkable moment was the time that TRS did time-ban me for a month because of downloading from him (slow connections and he did need al his bandwith for running the hub) LOL.

Good memories !!!

Got some great stuff from you, especially on the Queenhub! Cheers!

Yes!
A BIG thanks to Bokkepoot for not just the effort of updating all of those links but also the sheer amount of time he's spent doing it all.

As Brian May once said to me, "You have too much time on your hands"! LOL :)

MERCI BEAUCOUP FANTASTIC JOB
