If you weren't a member of that place they're supposed to have merged with, then it must be some sort of guerrilla advertisement tactic. :idunno:

Does that mean it's a site run by monkeys?

Monkeys generally tend to be more mature and less annoying.

I read it's probably connected to some idiot admin who stole emails from PTP some time ago.

anyway I just signed up at theumbrellacorporation.me, and see that they link to radio.revolutiontt.net interesting :unsure:

TheUmbrellaCorporation?..It sounds like something from a seedy 1960's TV series, like The Man from U.N.C.L.E :D

Or the name of the evil pharmaceutical company from Resident Evil.:unsure:

@anon Yeah you may have been faster but I wrote like eleven words.:mellow:

Btw I'm starting a tracker called T.H.R.U.S.H. I was originally going to call it W.A.S.P. but that seemed a little racist.

So you're naming your new tracker in honor of the bird, or the vaginal itch ?

of all the names they would have chosen, even if they were a huge RE fan....they chose "umbrella corp", really? xd

It's also a general term, as an umbrella corporation/company. If you had quite a variety of torrent categories, the namesake would make a lot of sense.

Discounting the logo and giving the people who created probably more credit than they deserve.

Maybe, or someone had made the witty suggestion and they ran with it under misunderstood context. We could speculate further, but I'm not sure I can identify any incentive to do so.
