Dear All

Some of you that are active on the hub will have seen my messages regarding the fact that the hosting contract runs out tomorrow. (See two years ago). I will be renewing - so no need to panic.

Just to remind folks about what the hub is -  it is a hosted DC++ environment where we pool in a shared archive of  Surround Sound and Hi-Res material; lossless and DTS files are also permitted. Look at as a reference library/archive for purveyors of Hi Quality sound.

This means that some really obscure, unreleased stuff has been saved for posterity, - previously a lot of this material was often exchanged on some of the Torrent sites and our objective was to preserve these artefacts.

Membership has always been by reference from peers, or invitation. It requires the filling in of a detailed questionnaire.

Because the hub has now been operating for nearly fifteen  years (I've been admin for the last seven) we now have a number of  legacy accounts the require reconciliation; these have a cost overhead as Hubs are hosted on an account/licence basis, so I will be sending out emails to all about whether they wish to continue. Obviously some email accounts will have been made redundant over the years so there will be a lot of failures. THEREFORE PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE.

Because there is a cost to continue I am now asking for an administrative fee which will be bi-annual or on joining, this is only to cover cost as the hub as this is a labour of love so to speak.

Folks who are hard up/student/etc please let me know and I will waive the fee.

These administrative  fees will  be as follows either $10/10Euro/£8GB.

I have set up a pay pal account: Lokk...@gmail.com - you can now also contact me there.

I hope this is OK for all that wish to see this great archive

Wishing you all the very best

Lokkerman

Hi,

Have a problem with my NAS and need to rebuild my library. But want to remain on HUB. My PayPal account are from one e-mail that are not the same on the HUB. May I pay from that, or need to open one account with the e-mail I use on the HUB?

Thanks.

I sure would like to become a member of your hub as I am currently ripping my collection using the PS3 method but I am finding it lacking when it comes to larger files such as "Heathen" - David Bowie I would most definitely share any files not already on the hub. I am an avid music collector, have been all my life and would abide by any and all regulations.

I want to continue but have not been on in months, just have been really busy and never got back on. 

Will take care of payment and try to get set back up again.

Hey everyone...

I have been following this group via email for several years now, though pretty much keeping to myself. I rather enjoy reading rather than actually having anything to contribute by way of comments. Most info that I could have shared has already been commented on many times over.

Anyways, Ive never been a part or asked to be part of the dc++ hub here, due largely to not a very good internet upstream and not much in the way of DSD to share, but with both of those sorting themselves out these days, I was wondering if there was any chance to get in on the fun, so to speak.

If not, I understand, and no hard feelings. :)
