Here's a link to the original thread:

Here's how it works:
When you get a box, swap for as many CDs as you want. The
only thing we ask is that you send it on with AT LEAST 1 more disk than it came with. So even if you didn't take one out, think about adding one in for next time. Remember, this is the honor system so ask yourself what your made of. Unlike a pyramid scheme, there is no guarantee of anything other than you will have to pay for shipping the box to the next guy unless you live close enough to deliver it in person. We don't even promise the box will get bigger, we're just hoping. Please post to the Head-Fi Thread about any treasures you pulled out of the box. Also, please mark the sheet with the number of discs you took, the number you added, and the total count you are
shipping on.
You young guys that have fewer CDs than the box came with, can pass it on with the same number (even swap).
New Members: where they get added. The keeper of the list pretty much desides where new members will get put on the lists, but here are the guidelines I am going by: New members are added to the VERY END of one list, the end of the FIRST PASS on another list, and somewhat regionally on the others. The idea is to get them ANY box as
soon as possible, but not push back someone who has been waiting longer and still keep it spread out so no one has two boxes at once.
When a box reaches the 50 mark, it will be split into 2 boxes
and the Mystery Box List will be split into 2 lists. Once it makes it
through the first list, it will start at the top of the second list.
Hopefully it/they will keep growing.
Right now, where at 50 cds per box, and I'm thinking of splitting it into 4 boxes. New members are still welcome! How do you guys think this should work? I'm going to let Box2 be seen by everyone before deciding. What if we set up a system where we have "groups?" Each group would be about 6 or 7 people, and would get their own box. After a group has seen the box, they would switch boxes with another group. What do you guys think of that?
Another issue that has been brought up: shipping. I had a member tell me that the latest box cost $13 to ship. Would you guys be opposed to shipping the boxes Media Mail? It takes a bit longer, but is much cheaper.
Next, remember, that the boxes should be kept for 3 or 4 days, a week at max. I know its hard to go through the cds, but we do want to let others have a shot at the box! Let me know if you have extenuating circumstances, and for some reason can't ship the box on time.
Finally, please, please let me know when/where you are shipping the boxes, and when you've recieved it.
