How old is the rabbit and the wheel ?

[fstokebanget]

Really wonder, how old is the rabbit and the wheel ?
Is it b4 FST were established or after ?
Did they also opened the signup at the first opening ?

[th0r]

a.) almost 3 years old, i believe
b.) the oldest post in the bittorrent discussion is from 2003, so after
c.) i don't recall either of them ever being open signups, but in their infancy invites were really easy to come by

[ekk3123]

I can help a little bit with c then :)

c) wheel had signup in the begining.. I don't know about rabbit..

[monk3y]

They must have had open signups in the beginning but i don't think they've had open signup for more then 2-2.5 years

[horiZen]

to my knowledge,,wheel has never opened signups(public)

[yoyogi4]

Yeh, UK never has, it's a rebirth of a previous site which was raided by the authorities, that's why this revision of the site was never opened for signups.

[FatBob]

rebirth of which site ?

[fstokebanget]

interesting, sounds like oink

do they really have a very limited invites ?

[Dale.Cooper]

rebirth of which site ?

no, they basically have open sign-up all the time. :lol:

**-* has never had open signups for the reason specified by yoyogi4.

As far as I am aware the rabbit also never had open signups, and is the incarnation of another site that didn't give a farque.

Both sites are offspring of long standing communities, so they have been around for some considerable (in torrent terms) time.

The oldest standing file sharing site still is FileList, which must be chalking up it's fourth year by now.

[th0r]

the rabbit used to be wdgaf, or something

[xxtonic]

what site are we talking about again, lol.

[horiZen]

"the wheel" and "the rabbit",,,lol

rabbit used to be a site called WDGAF, which was open signups. One day the site closed, then a while later all members got an email telling them about the new site. The new site has never had open signups. The site has existed in its current form for a couple of years now.

[dangermouse1]

rabbit started open sign up

(we dont give a fuck)early name

These sites are definitely about community and privacy. But how is their content?

The other too, wow. I think we should bury this thread and keep them going. Just a thought.

I can help a little bit with c then :)


c) wheel had signup in the begining.. I don't know about rabbit..

[C-mos]

It has a good content as one of my friends said
but it's more about the community
very strictly and very secret..:)

The former GREAT. The latter? Don't have any knowledge at all. Just know it's a site with 3 letters in it.:)

i dont really see anything wrong with bumping a topic if its older than say a month or 2. it might be more interesting than the other crap people post, and others will have something to say even if not the original bumper

[grimms]

I just realized this is 4 months old when I was a real noob. Damn bumped topics.
