Hey guys,

Everybody doing well? hope so 🙂

Some things to inform you of. If you didnt already know, last couple of months, the site has been basically under attack and hacked. Since the scene lost MTM.com and RemixPacks.com, our stems & multi data base has turned out to be (unfortunately) the best around. It seems some people didnt like this fact, and decided to cause grief, for whatever reason(s) they could think of.

Long story very very short from here, is that you may now find even more dead links to files than there were before. It goes without saying, EVERYTHING is in a state of flux while I fix things. At this time, I would really, really appreciate your patience while the fixes are found and everything can go back to what you guys expect from CR.

For now, if you find a dead link to a file you want, just drop a mail in and I`ll do my very best to get it to you as soon as possible.

As for the changes that the hacking will bring going forward, I will try to keep to a minimum, but I`m sure you`ll all agree, there at least has to be some changes. At the mo, nothing really will change for our entry level and mid tier level members. Apart from many of the older files being dead for a while, all the new stuff coming to the pages will not change one bit.

The initial changes all involve our Top Tier members. They already know whats coming as they have been informed, but I just wanted to let everyone know because it will affect anyone who is considering upgrading to TT & Rare & X page.

Rare has no restrictions to entry, X page does. Good news is any “newer” TT members can now also request re-ups from Rare, as long as you have 2 months consecutive membership to TT. X page now requires a minimum of 2, maybe 3 consecutive months membership at TT depending on the season opening date. The “season” will be announced in advance so you know whats what. Dates are now added to our welcome notes/rules n regs. You can now ask for the latest rules n regs notes at any time as they may change somewhat. New members joining the site are also notified about this change.

Rare page is now open again this month, and X page Season 2 is well underway.

X page Season 3 will enroll on the 2nd of May 2023, so here`s your heads up for anyone wanting to join that page come May.

This action has been taken because otherwise, the same hacking protocols could be used again. In other words, I have to find a way to not allow instant access to the rare page and its rare files or they could all go walkabout again. Obvs the temptation was too much for some people, and I must admit, there wasnt supposed to be that many files in rare. Going forward, there will be no more than 30 in there at any one time, and whatever is in there, come Xmas, will be coming to everyone. Then from New Year, we build up again.. as we kinda are doing right now.

If someone is keen enough to wait 3 months to leak stuff, theres not much I can do about that, and after 3 months, tbh, the rarity value does kinda diminish somewhat anyway. So for now, theres a 2-3 month “air gap” enforced. Sorry. The sad thing is I know 100% it wasnt any of your guys` fault and you have to take the shit. Thats the bit that hurts.

Anyway, before rant ensues, the only other option we have if the things go wrong again, is that we would have to take the site private. Which completely messes up the “multitracks for the masses” motto I have tattoo`d on my chest.

A decision has been made regarding that anyway. CR will run as usual, but all TT long term members will be invited to join a new venture. It wont be a website as such, but something more akin to a newsletter with gifts.

So you can see we are going to be probably trying a few things out going forward to somehow please everyone and keep as much as poss as secure as poss.

Initially, from here, I think I am going to have to take on some staff. Paid work of course.. haha.. unless theres any volunteers who may prefer the odd rare multi ? 😉

Thought it may be an idea to ask you guys. What I really need right now, is someone who has experience of WordPress and has been a member of the site for a while, and who has most of it downloaded. If that sounds like you and you have a chunck of hours free per week, please drop a mail in.

Before I go, just want to thank everyone (again) for your continued support.. still cant believe we are doing this after 3 years & still got a bit of figuring out still do, as you all now know, but rest assured, no-one is gonna keep CR down for long, even if there`s more crap to come.

I`ve got a plan 😉

Cheers guys.. have a good month everyone. Inbox now open for reup requests for all tiers, dont forget, but please bear with.

Mike
