As a way to give those who have donated more than once the little extra recognition we feel that they deserve we have changed the the current gold star to 6 different stars/icons.
The process is still the same and we will never implement a pay2leech system here, we just feel that those who have donated higher amounts and several times deserve to have it known
These are the new icons....
1 donation =
2 or 3 donations =
4 or 5 donations =
6 or more donations =
Total donation amount of 50 - 99 euros = (Either in a single donation or many many seperate ones)
Total donation amount of 100 or more euros = (Either in a single donation or many many seperate ones)
The 2 new heart icons are for the donators who have contributed the most to the site in terms of monetary value either in a one off donation or with several smaller donations equaling the amounts post.
As i'm sure most of you will have noticed 99% of donators now have the blue donation star, we will be manually going through all the donators over the next few days to set you at your appropriate levels.
So please wait 2 or 3 days before pm'mg us saying you should have a higher coloured icon than your current one and we will have alot of work to do to to get caught up.
Next one who comes and says that there should be 3rd option which randomly chooses either new window or current window, will be shot and his/hers body will be fed to VGB.
Many user have requested this over the months/years so here you go...
We have added a userbar for Power Users and above only, if you don't want to use it and wish to de-activate it go to my.php and check the appropriate box and obviously submit the changes.
The user bar will appear on the top left of the page, and the donor bar will move accross to the opposite side.
It should look like this....

We have implemented a weekly lottery system in which all members will be automatically entered, giving everyone an equal chance to win free leech GB's.
Winners will be notified via PM and also have their username and prize auto posted into this thread.
The lottery draw will be made every Sunday evening.
If for some reason you do not wish to participate in the lottery then go to your profile settings page where you will find an option for you to opt out.
We have added 2 new categories to browse.php TV/Packs & Movie/Packs, these categories will be used for uploading full tv series and genre related movie packs.
All uploads to these categories will be permanently Free Leech at all times
New uploads to these categories will only take place on weekends (Friday - Sunday) but will run all year round.
How the categories will work....
TvPacks
Only full season packs will be uploaded, there will be no rogue uploads to catch up if a show happens to get missed.
Each pack will usually only contain 1 season, for example Prison.Break.S01.Tv.XviD-TB this is in an effort to reduce partial seeding and keep the full packs on the tracker for longer.
Requesting of packs to be uploaded is not allowed or tolerated.
Movie Packs
These will be done a little differently.
Each month will have a different genre of movies from which packs will be created as follows...
January = Discographies/Trilogies/Sequals (including music & games)
Febuary = Drama
March = Thrillers
April = Action
May = Family/kids/Animated
June = Romance
July = Comedy
August = Martial Arts
September = Sci-FI
October = Halloween
November = War
December = Discographies/Trilogies/Sequals (including music & games)
Requesting of packs to be uploaded is not allowed or tolerated.
Packs will be kept to a reasonably small size, usually of 5 - 6 movies per pack, again in the hope to keep the packs fully seeded and reduce partial seeding.
So as you can see all the uploads for this month will be related to halloween/horror in some way
The Discography/Trilogy/Sequal packs will be done in a similar way to which last years christmas and birthday packs were uploaded.
We hope you will enjoy the packs as they hit the tracker and will remember to thank to excellent uploaders, who without them none of these uploads would be possible
And please remember Free Leech does not entitle you to Hit 'n' Run on these torrents, you'll be getting the files ratio free so please stick around to seed and help out your fellow members.
The less hit n runs means the uploaders can uploaded new packs sooner, so it's in everyones best interest to seed

2007-10-25 Due to the number of cheaters and those that leech their accounts till disabled and then sign up again, signups have been closed. If you value your account be careful and don't let your ratio go too low, hence you won't be able to get another for quite some time.//Staff
New Pincode System for changing of email/password/passkey via my.php
We have introduced a system to allow members to change their email address even if they no longer have access to the old email account.
All existing members will have been sent a randomly generated PIN code - please keep this safe as without it you wont be able to change your email/password/passkey via your profile, and you wont get a new one if you forget it.
If you need to change your email/password/passkey, and should you enter a wrong PIN 3 times in a row, you will be locked out of your account until you can contact an administrator or other staff member. So remember and keep this code safe.
Both the forum and torrents searches have been recoded and taken out of beta (we finally got around to it ) so now there can be no excuses for those dupe posts about low ratios in the forum
Sorry it took us so long to get around to updating, but enjoy it now it works
Usebar is now set for all users, as before it can be selected from my.php
Power Users and above have new feature: bookmarking threads. By clicking the icon in front of the thread title (icon which shows if you have posted to thread, blue or red small tb logo),you can bookmark the thread (clicking the icon when when thread is already bookmarked will remove it from your bookmarks) and check if there are new posts in it etc from mybookmakrs.php Holding your mouse over the icon will bring up a title which tells you if the thread is bookmarked or not.
Your bookmark page is accessible via userbar (the old sentbox icon).
Torrents can be bookmarked as well now. Torrent detail page has link to either bookmark the torrent or to remove bookmark,depending the status. My bookmarks page has now information for both thread and torrent bookmarks. You can bookmark 15 of both types.
