So what's the point then? People can talk about trading here too.

The point is to have an entire forum dedicated to trading that is not filled by beggers and leachers.

Mission impossible... But good luck! :)
Good luck Pieter
There is no reason for leechers or beggars to come to the trading site. They have nothing to gain by visiting.

Did they delete your thread over at QOL, Pieter? Can't see it anywhere.
Yes it was deleted :-)

The name calling is a bit uncalled for, don't you think?

Frankly no. There are a huge number of beggers and leachers on this site.
You appear to be the only person that has a problem with the site.
If you don't like it nobody is forcing you to use it.

Calm down there Charlie, let's take the assumptions down a level or two. I never said I had "a problem" with that site, I just wasn't sure of the need for it.
and if I can be frank for a minute, your use of "begger" makes you sound like a snob.

I built my bootleg collection on this site. I don't see anything wrong with 'begging or leeching'. How else can I build a bootleg collection? Trade my body?

Actually, Pieter is bloody right. I've shared some things in the past (like the Houston 1977 audio) and still many people complain. We always get the same damn questions.
Also, many people are begging for rare stuff, like Drammen or Yamaguchi. Why? There are at least 15 recordings of the Hot Space tour with similiar or even better quality. Why people want Drammen so badly? Because of its rareness or for listening to it? Sure you can have it, but start trading yourself! The same goes for Yamaguchi, it's only rare, because few people have it. I guess it's just a regular show.
Once people request something and they eventually get it in any format (mp3 or FLAC, through Rapidshare or torrents), they still want more, more and more...Maybe be happy with what you get and think a little more before complaining?
That's why Pieter started this site. It's for traders only, traders with patience. It's keeps trading interesting. Trading is fun, let's keep it that way. People who don't agree, fine, stay here. Nobody forces you to go the traders-forum.

Here we go again..
Nothing is wrong about downloading here on Queenzone, luthorn. I think we all downloaded concerts and recordings here and it's great that so much is shared. Unfortunately, many people post without thinking, so the Sharing Forum is full of ridiculous requests, moaning and complaining. The hard core of sharers is driven away by the endless bitching and fighting about format, official and non official material and useless requests for unavailable recordings.
My personal regret is that shared files are never discussed. It's very rare that someone downloads a concerts and says something nice about the recording as a thank you. I think that would contribute so much more to a nice forum than an endless row of "thank you" posts plus the inevitable "can you please send me this in an email" request. But I am an optimist and I know for a fact that many many people started their collection right here on Queenzone - too bad that some of them come back after a while to tell us how crappy the website is. But most people are very happy with what they get, even though they cannot post because of language barriers.
Pieter has every right to make his forum different and I think it's probably a very useful forum. I registered and I don't have a problem being a member of both forums. I hope that it does not make me a snob being on Pieter's forum and it does not make me a beggar and leech being on Queenzone.
