While there has been high profile news stories like the legal challenge brought against Ray Beckerman from the RIAA, Danish ISPs refusing to be copyright police and ACTA getting stalled (not to mention earning a lawsuit in the process), the WinMX community has been quietly moving along with key developments to help the community regain a bigger footing in the file-sharing world at large - not just in the past few days, but in the past few years.

Shortly after the shut down of the main server, a number of people in the community wanted to rebuild the network and put it back into operating condition. The problem was that there were two factions in the community that had two separate visions for the network. These entities were basically WinMXWorld and Vladd44. While the two separate factions in the community proved that there was going to be an effort to revitalize the network, it also unfortunately divided the network - not exactly the best thing to happen for an already fragile network.

"One of the goals of the Community Patch effort was to make for the provision of tools and technical information amongst the community to ensure no single group or individual has the power to affect the network unilaterally," Tigger explains, "this goal has been achieved and a code base now exists of both peer caches and patches that can be tailored to fit any future requirements, this in itself is a tremendous leap forward and a comfort for many. The creator of the Community Patch is a third party programmer named "Eagle", who has done a fantastic job in creating and negotiating its use within the community and it is certain now after many discussions amongst the two major groups to bring the community together, healing a rift of some years."

I'm very pleased to read articles like this that keep our community strong and informed, I'm also certain many folks will like the new patch and its extra features, and the good news is we now only have a short time to wait 

Thanks once again to Tig and Drew Wilson At Zeropaid for helping share our exciting news

Thanks Ghostship.

This article would not of been possible and what it means to so many of us today if it was not for the community to work together.

A special thanks to those people that are working behind the scenes to make this possible.

It is good to see the interviews continuing.

Indeed Cobra, in the last 24 hours we have spotted some older users return after reading this story, upon hearing WinMX is still rolling they reinstalled and came back to find old friends and miraculously in both of the cases I have witnessed, found them 

This truly is a great place for friendships, long live fun and friends, without those key ingredients we would likely not all have fought tooth and nail to keep MX rolling, we have prevailed for 3 solid years and if this latest trend is repeated across MX its surely time for more fun to raise its head 

I ask you all to join me in a smile
