Greg you've figured out why nobody shares on this site anymore, too many leechers, not enough discussion for a chat board

I'm late to this OSA party - haven't had the password for any mixes, but great work those that are ripping unavailable mixes, sorting out tracklists etc,
My view has always been that this is a key part of musical history that must be preserved. Too many tapes, flyers and stories have been lost over time.
The collections and archives mean that future generations can learn, benefit and enjoy too.
In terms of sharing, I personally ripped 150 or so tapes about 7-10 years ago. I still have a few more I need to check, to make sure they're done somewhere.
At the time, these tapes were not on youtube, mixcloud, or any file hosting sites.
I shared via forums such as Pure Oldskoolers and Its-all-about-old-school (spelling may be off there).
The rips are now generally online widely, or others have since re-ripped (often from better copies)
I never cared if others shared them - indeed, that was actually my aim: to preserve the collection for others and also actually work as a backup for my own tapes.
There's unlikely to be many tapes left in my collection to rip that others haven't done
If others are buying original tapes in auctions, scanning covers etc then I can see why that should be seen a bit differently
I only ever ripped tapes that had been sitting in my loft since the 90s.
In terms of 'leeches' though, it depends how they operate.
Some folks may be after a particular tape, search Google, find a link to here, so arrive with no other posts and be asking for a password
I do think many others are just new to the scene. They havent had the luxury of being around back in the day to buy originals. They may not have vinyl, so realistically, can they contribute a lot to tracklistings or rips?
With so much now well covered by folks here and elsewhere, we are at the point where it is increasingly difficult actually for people to find new tapes to rip that aren't done already. There's no point spending £20 on an Ebay tape to rip it, if it is done already.... and buy buying that tape, they may have stopped someone who is collecting the originals from filling a gap.
Something I now focus on, is gathering collections, trying to build a picture of what is available, assigning dates, linking to flyers, cleaning up bad recordings and grouping together in an archive. I have done this for a couple of clubs/events and shared on FB (which is where I was gathering the info) - not sets from OSA by the way
That probably makes me a leech now in some forums (although for the clubs/events in question there, some of the rips online are still only available as the ones I did many years ago). Not everyone has the desire or OCD to be bothered about ripping or building collections.
Long story short, there may be more to 'leeches' than it seems and many people struggle to contribute much more.
The good that perhaps comes out of this, is that the more OCD leeches that we can create by generating interest in these old collections, the more people will be looking to fill gaps, meaning that the rare tape sitting in a charity shop, gets picked up and ripped to the community rather than just moving to a cupboard for someone's personal collection. That does require the contribution, but sometimes a person's contribution may come quite some time after they join a forum and download sets, as opposed to them being able to come in and contribute straight off?
Thanks to those that do contribute still
