Jeremy, known as haytrain here, is the latest addition to the U2start crew. Jeremy will be a crew member specialised in bootlegs, he will mainly work on maintaining our bootleg collection, making it even better, more reliable, complete and bigger than it is now. Of course he will also remain active on our forums and do some crew-things there do
Jeremy, welcome and enjoy! Nice to have you on the team. Any users who are also interested in becoming a crew member (maybe even specialised in photos, video's etc.) can send me a PM. Nothing is open now, but we're always looking for dedicated people who are willing to help us out making this site even better than it is now.
And as a side note, speaking of our bootleg collection: there is a new 'type of recording' added named 'matrix' so you can also sort our bootleg pages on 'matrix' recordings specifically. Of course our FAQ is updated too, telling you what a matrix recording is on our site.
Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to helping expand our bootleg collection, provide a little more information on what we've got, and make it more accessible to everyone. Cheers!
