I've now spent three years using this site and strongly endorse the idea it proposes... post any CD you no longer need, and hopefully connect with someone who wants it. If that happens, you get a credit you can use to claim a CD posted by someone else. The concept is simple; it's hard to understand why the site fails so monumentally to fulfill it's potential. One big reason for this failure is a stubborn refusal to monitor and deal with users who have lost interest, found another outlet for their CDs, or for any other reason are no longer active. This means such a long-gone "member" will still have discs listed for trade, and probably a "wish list" of discs they were looking for, but when a true active user attempts a transaction with that person, they will encounter a dead end, involving a "timing out" process that drags on and eventually results in nothing but frustration. The site's own discussion forums have for years (really) been rife with user complaints about this, and yet no meaningful response from administrators. In the first months of this year, it is clear that user dissatisfaction, coupled with a steady decline in the number of desirable discs being offered, probably means the site's future viability is in question.
