R.I.P FTN or not?

Latest news from FTN

what do u think?

We're still working on a solution.. but just in case..

Hey guys,

I'm really not sure how to go about this, but I'm going to try my best. As you might have noticed, we took down the donation page about a week or so ago. Truth is, we've lost access to the paypal account and haven't been able to get another functioning account working due to PayPal policy and whatnot. I won't go into details, but basically we have no way to pay our bills, even if we had the funds to do so.

As you can probably see where I'm going with this.. FTN will be going down tomorrow. It's not easy for me to be saying this, and I know a lot of you are going to be unhappy with the news, but there's really not a whole lot we can do at this point. We've had an amazing 4 years, but I'm sure we can all agree that nothing lasts forever.

It's truly been a pleasure providing this site for you guys, and I believe I speak for all staff when I say that you guys have made this place more than just a hobby for us. I'm not sure what the future holds for the torrent scene, but I'm proud to know that we were able to contribute.

Take care guys, and thanks again for everything.

Grab money from donations and close site. Just like every other tracker. Just another bit of drama in bt world.

i don't see why they would lie about it. it sucks since FTN was my mainspot, but like they said nothing lasts forever.

i hope the figure something out, if not, it was a GREAT run.

Most people even somewhat involved in running a tracker at some point know how gay paypal is... They freeze you when they can get the most profit of it.

Could be FTN lameness as well though. Either way, sad to see this site go. It seems that quite some proper sites are shutting down, but the ones coming back for them suck bigtime.

From abou1t an hour ago...

Update: We believe we've managed to sort something last minute, however we'll still need funding for this next month since our previous funds are frozen. I'll update you guys further on this tomorrow, but it looks like we might just pull through this. Thanks for your support

Personally, I see no reason to doubt Brandon or FTN. Paypal is a bad choice. !The only time I use it is when sites offer no other option for donations.

Perhaps this will result in FTN and other sites finding a more trustworthy option.

Wow, he must have just posted that since it wasn't there a couple minutes ago.

But this is good news. It was a little hard to believe that he would let the site die just because the lost of a paypal account.

My thoughts also. Didn't PTM have a similar situation last year? They got through it.

I didn`t understand what was the problem with the donations? With the site?
What are going to do the traders without FtN?
