jhulud Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Weird. Just today I had to clear & delete two new posts by a new user. The posts were all written out in what looked to be Korean. It looked fishy so deleted them and immediately deleted the account and banned the IP. pizza face and jonnywreck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Quote Discogs has crowdsourced listings of 8,400,000 recordings and 5,000,000 artists, with an emphasis on electronic and dance, and a marketplace of 23 million titles for sale. Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axotyl Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) i mean discogs started out as a database to catalog electronic music releases. obviously the site has grown beyond that, but for someone who is maybe unfamiliar with the site doing research on it, i don't think its a crazy conclusion (albeit outdated) based on their history Edited April 18, 2017 by axotyl jeromium, soundofsilver and unknown pleasures 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yup, for years it was a electronic music database so I can see the description making sense to some. Same way people call eBay an "auction site" even though I'm guessing less than a quarter of transactions are actually auctions at this point. axotyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
