I am struggling to see how they have sold out? I have used this site for a long while now and all I have seen is progression. You say in the OP that this site built its audience on posting links to leaked albums but i’m pretty sure most of us came here to find out when an album was leaked. And to echo @taliahhh, once you have found out it has leaked it only takes a matter of minutes to find it and download it yourself.

I personally think the site has gone in the right direction. I would love to see more work done on the community aspect but keep up the great work!
