In any case, it's a shame this will end up like this ...

Why are there no new torrents, hardly any seeders and leechers?

Is this it, Warden? I'm ready. Let's do this. God bless.

Since my forum ban ...
See you all about.

I always say that actions speak louder than words and you my friend are a giant among men.It has been an honour sharing this community with you.

The first time I was privileged to meet tokol he gave me a warning for helping out a user.This user was looking for a certain file so I did a search at scrapetorrent.com and hot linked the result page in the forum.I got a warning for linking to warez.And tokol was kind enough to explain that it was ok to tell them where to go but doing it for them was a no-no.I was fit to be tied.That was it.I wasn't going to help anyone ever again.I'll just lurk and download.With the "two strikes and it's bye-bye Kansas rule" staring at me, I stayed quiet for about a week then cautiously started posting again with a lesson learned.

The DXC/DXD back-to-back birthday threads,killerbee spamming every single forum just to get his name to show up top to bottom on the Forums page,the insanity that was boselect, the community support that was so strong in the early years make me proud to be part of something that only a select few can ever say that they were a part of.

There's a lot of good souls in this place.Too many to mention.
I can say that I'm a better person for having known all of you.
For that, I thank you all

To Admins/Mods/Community at Large,

I joined TBy around 5/6 years ago. I was new to torrents, and didn't like the thought of keeping a good ratio (given the fact I was piggybacking onto a neighbours wifi connection ), I decided I would find a way around it...and I did. RatioMaster! But unfortunately for me, the guys here were a trifle smarter than I, and saw through it straight away. BANNED!

Confession time? :lol:

This site always had a reputation of banning the wrong people. I remember my feud with the staff, when I was defending deejeecool at the time. He did so much for this site, and the old TB.org, but when it came down to him and a staff member, he was the one to go. I myself couldn't take the injustice, so I've deleted my first account here, altho I was among the first 50 people that signed up for it.

And for those of you who don't know: deejeecool, or deej as I used to call him, was the person who opened up a temp forum when TB.org went down, to keep the community together. Bro, if you're lurking, give me a shout.

I've been here since near the beginning, and am sad to see the site come to this end.  While I mainly enjoyed the postings, donated a few bucks here and there, and made sure I seeded appropriately, I will miss this site.  I could nearly always count on it to have exactly what I was looking for, whether it was a movie, a program, or just some advice (tech-type or whatever).  Just hanging on for the last little bit hoping that some miracle will revitalize TB...

Here's to hoping.....

I signed up just a few days after coming home from iraq. I'm the first to admit to being a miserable prick for quite some time, my own wife and kids didn't want to be in the same room with me for long.  So I apologize to anybody I may have pissed off or offended in my haven't fully decompressed from combat days.  Sure sucks some huge dick that the only worthwhile place on the web, with the only worthwhile community, is facing its eminent demise.

Hope to see all you guys around.  :wavecry:

Been a member TB for 8 years and was a member of the other TB site before that.


Would just like to thank all the admin past and present and the mod teams for their hard work in keeping the site going for all this time.


TB has outlived them all and I will miss it when its gone.


Thank you guys.

This shit should be a movie.

It has more drama, tragedy, mystery, and feel good moments then any movie I have ever seen.

Originally not a joke.
Sad

I always knew this day would come but did my best to live in denial until now.

I came here right around the time when the torrent site I worked on got shut down. I'd rather not say the name, but it was a big US-based site which was sued for a lot of money. Anyway, I know what it's like to work so hard on a site, only to have it be brought to a halt because of some proper bullshit. Sad times.

This site has been nothing short of an addiction. Unfortunately, there's no other "dealer" who will ever be able to feed said addiction quite like this one. I fully expect to go bonkers mental without it.

I hope at least something remains here. In the meantime, we should rub salt in the wound and put up a countdown timer, and then have a global toast when it hits 0:00. Now, to get some smileys out of my system.

From tbits to this to now. Thanks to everyone that uploaded, shared, commented and got angry (BoB et al). Ta ta for now.

I've been here since Bits days even though my account was deleted when I went inactive while getting married and on my honeymoon 5 years ago. I still remember going on IRC to see what happened. The mods explained they couldn't recover it. I was bummed, but they were cool about it. And then they congratulated me on my wedding! :beer2:

This was my torrent home. First place I checked. This is like losing a friend.

Still the only site I've found where users regularly post screens for porn. :thankyou:


The biggest thanks I can give to all of the people who kept it going all of these years. :wavecry:

8 years and 2 accounts because of an unfortunate inactivity run. Always my first stop, usually my only stop.

Will miss this place for sure!

It's been a good run. Big thumbs up to all the staff that made this site what it is :thumbsup:

Wow over 8 years! Can't believe it's really all going to be over. I was a big time lurker. It was just the way I liked to roll. But I loved this community. It was unique and loved the xmas and packs. This was my first/second(TBits/TBy) private tracker so it holds a soft spot for me. I don't know what to say! I'll miss it! :-(

Big thanks to current and previous staff members, uploaders and members who helped make this one of the best torrent communities ever! Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back. You all deserved it! :thumbsup:

I don't know where I'll go from here, at one point this was the only torrentsite I used but I've added a few different ones for specific things but none of them rivalled TBy. If someone decides to start this up again I'll hope I'll be able to find out like I did when TBy started up. Is the temp forum worth joining?

Long live TBy! :clap2:

Any chance of a real explanation as to why this is happening?

I thought it was something to do with donation issues (paypal issues) but it seems there's more to it.

And the person responsible for the Christmas Advent Calendar is a fucking genius. BEST thing I've seen a tracker do in nine years of torrenting.

So let me get this straight, site is going down because admins doesn't want to risk getting caught? That is totally understandable to me.
