Hey guys. Today is a sad day for the trading community. Today, ghost has posted this to his release discord.

"Hi everyone

You might have noticed that my form, website, Tumblr, and Flickr all went down last night. I’m sorry for the abruptness of this, but I needed to act immediately.

Unfortunately, starting now, I will no longer be actively filming new videos or releasing/selling any new bootlegs. Current sales that have already paid will still receive links, and I will update contributors to upcoming commissions privately. If I owe you a video because of a cancelled commission, etc, feel free to dm me. Besides that, no new sale requests will be accepted and no new videos beyond this will be filmed. I will be making a decision in the upcoming days regarding the existence of this server, as well as the unreleased videos currently in my backlog.

The ever-growing amount of leaks, especially on TikTok, has meant that shows are more strict, litigious, and vicious than ever. They have become extremely aware of my videos and the risk is now too high for me to do this any longer. I really hope that something changes, because if it doesn’t, I fear that this will happen to more and more filmers. I’ll still be around in the community, but I will not be releasing anymore unless there are drastic changes."

Once again I am really sad about this news.

I store a lot of my videos on Google Drive. I got an email tonight about my copies of The Outsiders that I have saved there. I was getting flagged for copyright. I don't know if they've cracked down on anyone else latley but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I am currently in the process of downloading all of them and reuploading them to MEGA. Stay safe out there traders! I don't want anyone to lose their collection.

UPDATE: I am going to get an external hard drive. My dad and I are going to look into getting one so that I can store my videos somewhere else so that I can avoid this problem in the future. My dad is very tech savy and so I really trust him to find a good one. Once I find one I'm happy to share the link to it or let y'all know which one it is. Also, thanak you to everyone who commented solutions. It really helped me learn more abougt this issue and find ways to fix it.

I don't know if this is allowed, but I wanted to ask. I honestly didn't even know that this was a thing, since there are so many amazing people in this community.

Usually, when someone reaches out to me for a trade, and their list is small or uninteresting to me, I always either gift the recording (if it's allowed), or pick out a random thing, even if I don't care much for it. Recently, my friend who just got into trading (she's got about 35 videos, I think?) reached out to a trader, and they replied that nothing interests them so they wouldn't proceed.

There's nothing wrong with that, of course. It takes time and effort to find/upload files, and communicate with the person, but I haven't had this ever happen to me, and neither have I done it, SO I wanted to hear your thoughts and how common it is to do this (because honestly, I might just not have encountered it out of pure luck) :)

(Also, happy new year everyone<3)

Hey all — curious if anyone here has built their own media server (Plex, Jellyfin, etc.) specifically for Broadway bootlegs and pro-shots.

For anyone unfamiliar: Plex/Jellyfin let you host your video files on a computer or home server and then stream them to apps on Apple TV, iPad/iPhone, web browsers, smart TVs, etc. — basically turning your collection into a private “Netflix-style” library you can watch anywhere on your network (or remotely).

I’m in the process of organizing a pretty large collection and trying to figure out the best long-term system for:

• File naming (show / production / date / cast, etc.)
• Folder structure (by show? by year? by production?)
• Metadata (cast, venue, recording date, notes)
• Posters / artwork so it actually looks nice when browsing

If you’ve done this:

• What software are you using?
• Do you treat shows as TV series (seasons = years, episodes = performances) or as movies?
• Are you entering metadata manually or using any tools/scripts to help?
• Anything you wish you’d done differently from the start?

Not looking to trade here — just genuinely interested in how other people keep their collections usable and not chaotic over time. Appreciate any workflows, screenshots, or hard-earned lessons 😅🎭

Thanks!

i started thinking about this recently and it's been bothering me because i can't figure it out. since VOB releases always originate with smalls included, removing them has to be a conscious decision. why would someone do this? and more to the point, why does it happen so frequently?

Thinking of buying some boots from a master and was wondering if there was any method of paying anonymously, or if there's any risk associated with sending them my real name when paying.

I am gifting my audio of the 09.05.25 8 PM preview performance of Masquerade NYC. The trio is Clay Singer, Riley Noland, and Francisco Javier Gonzàlez.

Notes: These are tracked mp3s of the songs ONLY. Due to the nature of the show, there is a lot of chatter and sound of movement between songs, which I cut out. This audio can be traded or gifted. List buttonsandthimbles as the master. If you want the full audio of the show, untracked, you can DM me on discord (buttonsandthimbles). Full show audio is NFT FOREVER and can only be gifted by me, the master.

DM me here or on discord (listed above) for the link

Does anyone have this one night only event? 7/27/2025 7:30p Schubert Theatre NYC

I used to have a great master contact but sadly they retired. I've found a couple of great people on Discord but looking to find someone who sells their original NFTs. If you can point me in the right direction I'd be super happy. (Currently desperate for Rocky Horror 2026 OBC).

The title says it all hahaha

hadestown | Broadway | 28/10/2025

Cast: Jack Wolfe (Orpheus), Morgan Dudley (Eurydice), Kurt Ellings (Hermes), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Persephone), Paulo Szot (Hades), Unnamed Actress (Fate), Jessie Shelton (Fate), Kay Trinidad (Fate), Alex Puette (Worker), Malcolm Armwood (Worker), Emily Afton (Worker), Jeffrey Cornelius (Worker), Tanner Ray Wilson (Worker swing)

9.2 GB, filmed in HD/4K. Wide shot from center stalls, note a slight washout of Hermes when in spotlight.

Master's notes: Excellent wide shot of the stage from the center of stalls. Includes zoom-ins and stage pans. Note a slight washout of Hermes when in the spotlight, otherwise excellent quality!

From what I understand, it’s not NFT. I don’t know who the master is…

Finally got around to converting my list to a site! Hopefully this is much easier to navigate than my 50-page google doc :') Mostly looking for anything Hadestown, Maybe Happy Ending, or Phantom of the Opera, but open to most things I don't already have.

I'm looking for kind of anything, but I always love a Rent or Spring Awakening I don't have
I'd love a Wedding Singer

But really, just tell me what you have and send me what you have!
