Notice: We are aware that the wiki's extensions which enable video/audio embedding and other niceties are still broken. This will be fixed eventually.
If you plan to make a YouTube video or other content using bootlegs downloaded from our site, although we can't and won't force you to do anything, we greatly appreciate attribution for the large amounts of time and effort we spend finding these bootlegs. Thank you!
