I would back for sure, i am septic of their return though, at least in a near future.

It will come back, that's for sure...but will probably take 1-3 weeks.
may be how RTS did it? send an email and invite to PU+ or users fulfiling certain criteria...but that won't probably happen with OiNK. I think OiNK would get back how demonoid did...everything how it was.
And YES, i am willing to (i am more than willing to) go back when they come back.
NEVER -- if anyone remembers what happened when teh old Tbits shut its doors ... they came back but it si not the same ... I feel it will be the same @ the new oinks ... it may come back but it wont be the same ...
as for the servers did they not have 3-4 massive servers? i member reading about them in thier forums but forget the exact stats (i just kinda skimmed it) were they not like quad core or somethin like that ....
I imagine the DB is backed up since they run a back up on the site everyday @ 8am local time ... they shut the site down for 10 minutes to run the backup ... so i imagine the backup was stored offsite every few weeks ... and even if they did nto have the backups, i imagine the coder kept a copy of the code somewere else so the basic code should be in place somewere ...
Not in this life - span, I'm afraid...Not with this name, not with this huge amount of content. Emergence of some clones is most probable, however.
I think it's possible that they'll come back but not for a few months, it all depends I suppose it's hard to speculate at this early stage.
I really dont no, in my country we have the same problem with the biggest tracker... and 2 or 3 months later a new tracker under a other name is born... ;)
But Oink its simply to big... maybe one day we can see something like oink online again.
never :(
