Harddrive failure resulting in shutdown, really? Didn't the rabbit have daily backup or something (which i presume is in a different disk)?

not that it matters to me though, I deleted my account there a while ago.

Yes, the Phoenix is reborn from it's ashes in mythology. No, FTWR is not going to be "reborn". We lost all our database. The latest backup we have is from December 2008. The staff had three options:
1. Close the site.
2. Start from the 1-year old backup.
3. Start from scratch with the code.

The owners of the site decided to go with #1.

funny how only high level trackers are getting shut down. ftwrabbit and uktorrents thought they were so secure. all that time spent chasing traders. what was it for. they tried to keep ftwrabbit hidden from us. they didnt want any publicity. now everyone knows about them.

what a waste of time it was. now u know ur not so special. the rabbit tried to be elite. they are elite cause bitsoup and torrentleech are still around. they had faster speeds more seeders and more torrents than you. plus they are still here. they even made more money from donations than you.

guess you will all have to go back to your normal lifes now. you werent legends in real life and a year from now your tracker will be a memory too. oink demonoid still get talked about but u aint them.

it couldnt have happened to nicer people. i will be having a good happy sleep tonight thanks to you.

Rabbitstew you hide your ident like RABBIT do it too. Whats the difference. Dont get me wrong here, but you seem like you know your stuff and this is your first post, to make ppl believe in you, You should have spend more time at here. Yes what you are saying makes sense to me, I have been banned at RABBIT after 4 5 years whatever lets say from the opening, I can see their wrong moves along with their right ones too. If they dont respect me at the end, why should I respect them at all. I am older than them and older than any torrent system. Been there and seen that (done that). Anyways I am sure RABBIT finds its own way, yes I dont want to see RABBIT or any tracker to get closed. My experience says RABBIT can not be closed, unfortunately they are much wiser than the SCT crew. Goodluck to all these closed trackers. As a common sense, as an old time trackers user I have a message to all these closed trackers. If any of this is a joke. Just please dont play with the users. We dont take jokes. If you start a game one day you will find yourself in one of those games. Be positive at all times. I know this will not make a sense because non of this is a joke. Just ppl are tired and we want to leech dammit. Long live whatever left out there ;)

It was more than just rarity. It was about making friends who you could trust. The tracker was hardly "hidden" and it surely wasn't a "secret". If you can have a tracker with 2400 awesome members who ALWAYS help versus a tracker with 100,000 members who leech and run without uploading......... what would you choose? And think about that from the staff's perspective as well. It's all about management.

Receiving a "high level" invite is actually quite easy when you make friends rather than just breaking the rules trying to achieve those invites.

Those who have good friends know that when a tracker like rabbit closes it's really not that big of a deal. ;)

ps: i love e so much oooh look at me im request EEEEEEE on cfs to all my lovers there mwahaha just drop it, nothing usefull to say ? be quiet for once.

What is wrong with you? Do you really enjoy acting like an incoherent little bitch baby? Or is this your real personality?

Listen, my apologies if you thought I insulted your favorite site. You're right. I should have posted that...for ME ScT is completely replaceable. Better now? Are you done with your tantrums?

Now this will be my last reply to you as I try not to make it a habit of going back and forth with the low life of this, or any community. And as a bit of advice, I suggest to you to pay attention to Cabalo's words and relax. Every since Swespycho's leaving, FST needs as many members as possible that makes asses of themselves on a daily basis. So I would hate to see you kicked from here.

They apparent had backups from as recently as a week ago but for some reason couldn't access them.
I know that doesn't make any sense but that was told to me by a staffer.

@IdolEyes787: if I heard correctly, the recent backup was stored on the same disk drive that failed.

If you can have a tracker with 2400 awesome members who ALWAYS help versus a tracker with 100,000 members who leech and run without uploading......... what would you choose? And think about that from the staff's perspective as well. It's all about management.

Receiving a "high level" invite is actually quite easy when you make friends rather than just breaking the rules trying to achieve those invites.

Those who have good friends know that when a tracker like rabbit closes it's really not that big of a deal. ;)

Couldn't have put it better myself, except for the last part. I was a member of Rabbit and now that it's gone can't really see any replacement in the horizon.

It was a site with good people, that really was different from the rest. It stood out because everybody was on good terms, and help was so easy to get.

This is a shame. I'm a bit late finding this news out, first the Unstoppable Machine ScT is taken down - members of the staff having been arrested, no less - and now a site that was so closed AFA access was concerned (which proves the strictest privacy is apparently not sufficient to warrant safety..) is taken down.

God forbid that any of the team should be taken behind bars too.

RIP FTWR.

Bit torrent site for the most part are someones hobby and sites won't last forever.They move onto other endeavors or challenges,but other sites will pop up and mold them self's in the current environment could be the next site to generate the interest.
Sites will need to continue to evolve with times to be successful,
2003,2004 there was no such thing a ratio free no chance that would have happened back then didn't nee that kind of thing to get members.
These won't be the only sites we love that will eventually disappear

Not really - they'd need to shut down all private trackers for that. :unsure:

#ptp-encoding

(11:09:55 PM) pham: Guys we are about to disolve this group
(11:09:59 PM) pham: legal reasons
(11:10:02 PM) pham: we cannot have a group
(11:10:34 PM) echohead: pham: TC has 2 groups. one for HD, one for SD. they made their own .nfo
(11:11:07 PM) _312c: or a group that didnt use the site's name
(11:11:08 PM) pham: TC also has a hiddeln shell corp
(11:11:14 PM) _312c: just happened to release only on PTP?
(11:11:19 PM) pham: Im not comfortable with this.
(11:11:45 PM) echohead: pham: yes, and that shell corp is run by ron paul. who is an alien. from the sun.
(11:13:28 PM) _312c: but, back to pham and legal issues of having a group associated with the site
(11:13:46 PM) echohead: because clearly the site was legal before
(11:13:57 PM) _312c: would a group that doesnt use the site name, only releases on the site, and uses a seperate IRC server be fine?
(11:14:20 PM) pham: You guys can release on our site, just not under the PTP brand.
(11:14:27 PM) _312c: okay
(11:14:31 PM) _312c: so, we need a new name ..>
(11:14:34 PM) _312c: *>.>
(11:14:58 PM) echohead: actually, thats good... i kinda hated 'ptp release group'
(11:15:01 PM) _312c: or a new meaning for PTP
(11:15:28 PM) echohead: made it sound like we were some shitty public tracker trying to impress demonoid users
(11:15:42 PM) _312c: deffinately need a .nfo
(11:15:46 PM) echohead: bleh
(11:17:36 PM) echohead: pham: so whats the status on everything else? i mean, will this still be an 'official' group with its own userclass or more of an informal thing?
(11:17:56 PM) pham: im not sure
(11:18:15 PM) pham: i spoke to a lawyer and doing an official group would be damnation
(11:18:49 PM) echohead: you spoke to a lawyer about the legal ramifications of having an encoding group for your illegal torrent site...
(11:20:11 PM) echohead: thats like robbing a bank but not bringing a backup gun because it might get you into trouble.
(11:20:54 PM) _312c: makes sense though
(11:21:00 PM) _312c: technically we are a "backup" site
(11:21:27 PM) _312c: even though i never scroll that far down on the page
(11:22:30 PM) echohead: ive yet to hear about a single case where a site-endorsed encoding group became the reason for a tracker being shut down
(11:22:54 PM) _312c: it wouldnt be the reason, but it would be a nail in the coffin if trouble ever arose
(11:23:17 PM) echohead: theres a forum thread about collecting criterion discs here.... in just about any court, that would be interpreted as the site undermining criterion as a company in particular
(11:23:39 PM) echohead: but slapping the name of the site on a few torrents is somehow worse than this
(11:23:49 PM) echohead: the logic is circular at best.

All the biggest names has been going nowhere.
Will we see new big names? We will just see the ordinary shitty trackers?
