IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
TorrentBytes is not dying... but here is a BACKUP FORUM - http://tb.badne.ws/index.php

Noooo! TorrentBytes and the former TorrentBits has been my homepage for almost a whole decade. This is indeed sad news. I have never had to sign up for alternative torrent sites given that this had everything i needed, clean and virus free. So if anyone knows any other good, clean site, please send me a PM let me know where I can migrate to for hopefully another decade.

Sad day indeed, still remember the original admin RedBeard with his little icon of a pirate.

I haven't been the most active commenter here, however, I always lurked around and read most of the threads and always followed the intense religious/political debates sniper and hog had in serious chat.
And of course the epic Random Picture Thread! Man! Im gonna miss my morning routine, opening the browser and check out TRPT first thing. With a hot cup of coffee.

With that said, the maturity/awesomeness of this community has and always been a refreshing reminder that there are places on the interwebz that isn't populated by retards.

And for that, thanks TorrentBytes! It's been a great decade being a member here!

What really made this place special was the commitment. I still use(d) this:

As you see the API still works great.

This was the stuff that made this site awesome...

Twiglet seems to be long gone though...

A big thank you to all the people who have been keeping this site going for so long! :pirate4:

Never post in the forums, but have been with TB for a while. As a small time user,  all this talk about seedboxes and dedicated NAS servers means little to me. I am lazy and like all my shit in one place which is why I like TB.

Sad to see it go, just like i was with libertyforum.org, but it just means its time to move on, hello torrentshack i guess?

very very sad to see the site go i wish there was a way we could keep it up.

Been on the site for close to 8 years

Would anyone have an invite to a new place similar to tb? I would really appreciate it if anyone could help out.

I'm a member for over 8 years now. I can't imagine a life without TB. :facepalm:
Thank you for everything, I will miss you blue one. :'-(

But piracy will live forever :pirate3:

Thanks for a awesome site !

And btw, need a new torrentsite. A PM with invite would make a sad man a littlebit happier. (iptorrents, torrentleach, any good torrentsite. Not that much in to what is good now, since this always has been my answer.)

Torrent Shack has agreed to give us a new home and many of the current TB users have moved there.
They still have Open Sign Up, so get going. See you there.

this is a real kick in the nuts, I come here every day even if just to check the releases and snoop on the forums for 10 seconds.  I hope I see some familiar faces (avatars ) at torrent shack.  My SN there is svitty if anyone happens to see me post (which I don't typically do anywhere.)

:weep:

I think the second time around hurts more.

We will try to get monies together to keep the tunnel and host up for at least august. PM me if you have Payza, or are willing to get on there, and I'll pass you the info.

Ps. This is urgent, so do it directly if you can support. I am not home myself, but I will check my pm inbox all day today and tomorrow to get this done. Also, as much as we appreciate even the smallest donations, I wish to not have to handle donations of only a few coins at this moment.

PPS. Everyone will not get a reply from me. We'll do this just enough so we can cover a few extra weeks.

I've always been a leecher more than anything & never really posted anything in the forums in the 8 years I've been on this site but I'd like to thank all the staff that came & went throughout the years to keep this site going. Very sad to see it go.

Today is a sad day with the announcement of the closure of TorrentBytes.

As some of you will know that is where I started out in Private Trackers. First as an Uploader and then progressing through the staff ranks before finally deciding to start my own site with a few close friends who followed my ideals and goals.

In a bid to try and keep the community as close together as possible we have decided to re-open sign ups here at TorrentShack to provide members of TorrentBytes a new place to call home.

Open sign ups shall be for a limited time only and will likely last a few weeks at most.

For those new members that do join, we welcome you with open arms and hope that we can provide you with an adequate place for you to call home :-)

Discuss it here

So how is it going with the bitcoin hosting, staff?
I assume this should be allmost done by now?
Going offline due to no funding is sad but understandable,
Going offline without a real reason is just a shame.

Site has been dropping in quality for years. Used to be the best around, now there are better alternatives, to say the least. Appreciate the work put in by admins and uploaders.

I'm not realy sure if this is about donating. If this is a reason i can't belive it. 30k+ users and we are not able to collect enough money? Or is the reason the admins because they don't have the time anymore to work on the site? Still not sure what it is. Anyone?

Check your spam-folder or try to register again, because I see a lot of new members in Tsh. maybe server is overload because of all new members.

IMHO there is more to this story that we aren't being told i don't believe money is the true problem

Read the forums and there should not be any obscurity.

Ive also been a member for many years. Just wanted to say thanks for everything, it has been a great ride!

Hopefully we can get many users migrated to TSH. Anyway, TB wont be forgotten since it has been one of the oldest torrentsites that is still around ;-)

Oh really? And what alternatives are you talking about?

When it comes to torrents? Well, umm, I don't know, pick any of the private sites you have a hard time signing up for.
