Dear ~OiNK,
thanks for all the great music you brought me,
o thy pink piglet of many musicstyles.
i remember how i endeth up in your system
being invited by one of my (back then) fellow staffers
back in those days, i did not really knew about fantastic places
like oink or ~OiNK like i used to write it.
then you came into my life and expanded my musical taste with a 5,000% boost
finally i did'nt had to wait for hours to see if i could find that specific album or artist of choice on something like SLSK
but i could just log onto ~OiNK. and see if i could find my music of choice,
that matched somewhere between rock and roll and weird electronic music.
most of my selected artists were on the shelves (:, and,
if possible i had a choice between scene release, V0, FLAC, M4A, MP3 etc.
you cared for me and my ears because you did'nt liked music in a quality less than 192 KBiT/s
and gave you me a widespread vision on artists i never heard before :)
you enabled me to get to know eachother better by giving me the possibility to take it and multiply it
and if i liked it i could keep it and share it with the rest of the people who where curious about it.
we made great friends, and thanks to you i met lots of new artists and if you did'nt knew them,
i would introduce them to you and you would help me to increase my reputation by listening to me and my friends
yesterday however, on the 25th birthday of my sister, they broke into your stalls and stole you from me.
and started to tell lies about you to make people hate you for what you are not.
i never had to pay a single dime to be your friend. neither did i had to dump music i your stalls to be your friend.
all you asked from me was to help our friends to promote the free spirit of music
and to make friends with small independant musicians that needed your free platform
to face concurrency with bad artists who never actually cared about you.
artists who only care about the money they create with selling an uninspired piece of music with no soul.
because that was the price they paid in order to make crappy overrated music that is sold almost everywhere.
or a foulmouthed rapper numero 5614632181 that thinks that women are nothing more than "bitches" ,"whores" or "sluts" or whatever
and that has to STEAL his tunes from someone who is more creative with sounds than him and thn says it was from a "Video Game".
yesterday, they took my pink piglet away from me and locked him up. far, far away from all his friends outside.
today, all i can do is being silent and think of you while crying softly as i see a piglet, running down the screen.
and then, i remind myself again of my favourite piglet, that will probably never return anymore.
leaving a gap in my heart and soul where ~OiNK once used to be...
this page is written in memoriam to my good friend ~OiNK.
the pink piglet that actually encouraged me to support the artists who truly deserve it.
With love and sad greetings
