Let's bring Red Beard back !!!!!

He did the same thing all those years ago. Closed the site, instead of letting us in staff handle it and take it into the future.

didnt red beard pull a take the money and run job on TB?

Nah, it was helshad that pulled a nutty on redbeard's honeymoon.

Helshad had a really sick family member to look after, I can't blame him for pulling out with the shit he had on his plate, I would have been suicidal in his position! I have THE most respect for him!

I never really got to the bottom of that happened with Tbits. Only the same story that everyone stuck to, helshad left, RB decided it was a good run and to call it a day, the site went soon after. I've spoken to most of them since it shut, never got around to poking for a deeper explanation. It was his site and his choice, the domain was sold off or it ran out and someone picked it up. Not quite sure on the last bit.

They ALL missed the place though, it was usually the 1st thing we all spoke about when I see them around over the years.

no smiley? in the words of the local pisshead from the boozer when a birthday stripper walks in, /hola's "just show us your fucking smiley!!" :thumbsup:

Has uploading been removed from the website as we speak? No new torrents for 6 hours?

Not to sound crass, but if the end is truly near how about a fire sale freeleech?

My motive isn't purely selfish, either. If we have to rebuild elsewhere we should try to preserve as much as we can now

Only thing from torrents worth preserving are packs and they are already free leech. Apart from that putting them somewhere else would be a bit "unjust" imo esspecially to ppl who made them. Rest of stuff is on 42 days rotation, so no point really...

Damn, almost every day for last 5 years my morining looked like this: wake up, start pc, boil water, bathroom stuff, make coffe from boiled water, browse TBy. I will have huge void in my future mornings.

I just wanted to pop in and let the staff know I appreciate everything you all did here.

All these years and you managed to keep the site clean, honest and fair.

Stand back and give yourself a huge pat on the back, you certainly all deserve it.

If I remember correctly this site uses almost a Terabyte a month of transfer and the code is exceptionally complicated, even though the site looks so simple.  Simply moving it over to a new host or changing coders would be a huge undertaking, and with the loss of a simple payment process I can sympathize with your decision.

Thanks again to everyone involved in making this site so great!

Wait a second, you turn yours OFF? I didn't think anyone other than my stepmum did that anymore. Certainly not us seeders.

I could, but it would be a blatant break of the rules and I was already verbally warned once. I plan on having my account here die the way it was born:profile warning free!

yes, why not turn it off, it does none of the work needed, all download/upload is done by a seedbox and/or a small NAS server with built in torrent client

Always been about the community more than the torrents for me, which is why I've stuck around for as long as I have. Only ever was about the releases in the beginning. Like way back when I first registered on TB.  Always been good places to go to, both TB and TBy, because of the crowd. ~8 years this site on volunteer work, and a select group of peoples sweat and tears been had.. just to keep it up, that's pretty incredible how far people will go to keep something good up. I tip my hat to all these generous people! It also includes the people in the community, who made TBy what it is just by coming here. FUN.

cheers everyone!
If I see you after, I will. If not, some great times were had huh!!

Also guys, make sure you take screenshots of your profile incl. ratio etc., definitely comes in handy when interviewing for other private trackers...

#1537095 by treemayne (Power User) at 2013-07-24 00:10:28 (4 days ago) - [Quote] - [Report]Top

seems to be imminent, no more new torrents

#1537096 by HackerJoe (User) at 2013-07-24 00:11:24 (4 days ago) - [Quote] - [Report]Top

When reminiscing I found those:
http://web.archive.org/web/200307270529 … tbits.org/
http://web.archive.org/web/200308100826 … tbits.org/
http://web.archive.org/web/200310151637 … tbits.org/
And before it went down:
http://web.archive.org/web/200401311147 … tbits.org/

And when I clicked the sign up button I suddenly became sad again, like 8 years ago...

I remember some of those links:
http://web.archive.org/web/200312042042 … /links.php
Christmas theme... I will miss the red...

Birth of something new, back then...

Thanks for everything...

Christ mate, it was only a week. I've never gotten around to asking anyone to do mine, but it would be pretty easy to make, considering my old username: Gollum.

Sorry off topic but...
Can someone explain this? I've been a member there for a number of years and don't ever remember any pay to leech. Is there something I am missing?
