Good to all,
somebody knows when the TBytes comes back to the asset. I wait that it does not delay very, I know that it takes time to program new security and everything the remaining portion.

I wait that somebody of the staff has some backup kept of the DB.

God damnit, how couldn they update the freakin database? what where they thinking, im not going back to torrentbytes when they return.

What is the top torrent site at the moment? i dont use torrent that much anymore, but still wanna be looking at that torrent site so i can register if i get the chance.

PS: Who is windpaw anyway??

Dang....sorry to hear that bad news! hope security titen up! is there nothing do-a-ble like taking or threaten for leagal action :/ just my 2 cents!

a big break in security is many tracker have a phpbb forum with the same account information off the tracker its very easy stollen the db of a phpbb..

. they could use a vbullentin its more secure than phpbb forum

Windpaw was an ex Moderator, I think they took him on board to try and stop the Ddos attacks. But reading the first post in this thread, Windpaw was creating the Ddos attacks himself?

The Admins are to blame, 1 of them was inactive for at least 3 weeks before TB went down. The other one just seems to deal with the donations. The site went right downhill after these 2 were promoted and Maxthepuppy stepped down.
