The Jamroom-era TightBeatz

Five complete homepage responses and two domain inventories preserve a fully deployed Jamroom site. It retained the TightBeatz name and familiar activities while replacing the original portal and IP.Board system with a different platform, visual identity and forum arrangement. David remembers this as the post-sale era. The deployed site is directly verified; the sale, ownership chain and operator identities are oral history unless separately corroborated.

Hall Of Heroes and OMT afterlife packet

Heavy submitted and labeled a post-TightBeatz continuity cluster around OMT, Kamikaze, Heavy Mayn and Hall Of Heroes. The room labels date OMT - From This Moment On to 2013 and Hall Of Heroes / OMT-Kamikaze-Heavy material to 2014, with OMT credited for mixing and production. The record belongs to the life-after-TightBeatz layer and does not claim original TightBeatz hosting.

A returning participant identified himself in the archive Discord as LD the Kid and posted the public LD613 SoundCloud profile as the last material he recorded, from 2013. The profile exposes public SoundCloud tracks including 13, #Passion, No Clue, and My Time. This is a later public listening trace, not an original TightBeatz upload or a current-contact publication.
