Despite the success of the technique, it was never used again. With current programs no longer having the same recording issues, and most of the affected recordings having been lost in Easter 2014 as part of [[hist:Drive Crash 2|Drive Crash 2]], the process was quickly forgotten about... until this page was created three years later.
