I Just Made a Mess Out of Alonetone

I’ve been using alonetone.com to host all of my bad music since… I don’t know when.  2009?  1886?  Something like that.  I used my usual user name, robertjames1971, for my account.  About two years ago I started having problems.  I would upload a new file and it would somehow be marked as private.  No matter what I did, I could never change that setting.  I wasn’t even sure how or why it was set that way.

I got pretty fed up quickly and created a second account, version 2 if you will, and started using that.  Everything was fine.  Until this week.

I uploaded the album-in-a-day thing the other day and happened to notice that three files from the last RPM Challenge were missing.  I know they had problems with their database a while ago and random files vanished.  I thought I was all set with that though.  I guess I wasn’t.

So what to do.  Well, just out of curiosity I tried uploading something to the original account.  It worked.  They did a massive rewrite of the site not long ago and recently took it out of beta and made it final.  So maybe… I just downloaded everything I had on v2 and re-uploaded it to v1.  In doing so, I bombarded the site with new files and sort of flooded everything.  Sorry about that guys.
