Forum: etree Subject: Re: pointer to newer Grateful Dead forum

Yes the archive is for archiving the recordings. It's just not, in the case of the Grateful Dead, open for uploading everything. If your masters have a known lineage etc, yes, etree.org is the place to go, regardless of if they are picked up by the LMA archive (this) because once it's seeded to etree, it is being duplicated by 'everyone' and will then withstand the bitrot, tape failures etc...

I've not been active on this forum for about 6-7 years, but I had email notifications 'on' for this thread, because I was interested in the outcome of the original discussion whatever that had been, way back then.

When you asked your question, I got pinged, and I noticed that there was just the one ping, giving me the impression that whatever it was, nobody had responded. I would have felt ignored if it had been me, so of course I gave you the best answer I had, go over to the new forum where everyone is and ask there...

Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it. Sorry about the antagonistic vibe we had going there for a sec.

for anyone else that stumbles on this thread... go over to the new forum, all the cool kids are doing it:
