There's some irony to this appearing on what.cd

When OiNK was taken down there was a massive community effort to put a successor online within days. But we had to kick out an early staff member called "WhatMan" for trying to hijack the entire project and run it as his own kingdom, right down to changing the name from "Waffles" to "What CD?" while others were catching a few hours sleep between hacking at the code. Months of bitter disputes between the sites followed.
