* Ok my posts, well I have tried to get you to comment, some have and some not, so it's a pointless exercise. Well in the future I will post whenever I post. But the links will be controlled, in the future 320 and lower bit rate posts, the links will last only 6 days, Flac, Wav and Video post the links will only be active for 3 days (these will be posted on Sundays mainly). So you will have to be quick and visit Vibes on a daily basis. But at the end of the day, whatever limit I put on a post, I will inform you in the comments, how long the link remains active for. I reserve the right to alter the lifespan of my own links. *
* Comments will remain open, but we reserve the right not to publish anything we feel is unacceptable! so Mr nasty's comments (and yes I know who you are!!) your comments will never see the light of day. The offer for re-up and album requests from regular commentors, has passed, you had your chance and no one requested anything. So from now on I will post whatever, whenever if you want it take but you will have to be quick *
* Many thanks to all of you who do take the time to thank the uploaders here on Vibes, we all appreciate, your comments, very much and will answer you back. *
* If there are no posts from me for a few days, I am just busy with some other projects I am involved with or not at home. I don't think I will post everyday in the future, just when it happens, there could be 4 or 5 posts and nothing the next day, then one. Want to be a bit looser in the way I post from now on. *
* Ok watch the trailer from you tube, and the IMDb link, if you like the look of it, the link is in the comments, this link will only be active for a few days, so be fast, this will not be re-upped. The documentary has embedded English subtitles. *
