It's even really surprising that it was still running for so long after what happened.
It's really dumb, it was a great place before.
Every place was a great place before, even places that weren't.
OK maybe not Philadelphia .
have any of these specialized bittorrent invite requesting/trading communities survived longer than the trackers that are being asked for there? i really can't think of any, seems like those kinds of places are very short-lived projects, sometimes for the wrong reasons
It's not down. Check out FSF's latest post.
Yep, it's back :( It appears that the bunch behind SavvySeed, the same group who hijacked TPS's seedbox project and stole all the money from it have hijacked the entire site now.
L...O...LQuote:
s many of you are aware, TPS has experienced plenty of internal turmoil in recent months; many good staff and members alike have been either banned or chased off by a few power-hungry individuals. Whether through neglect, tacit agreement, or outright support, these individuals were not reigned in and essentially ruled with an iron fist banning or alienating all who opposed them. If you questioned their practices, you were "against" them. This obviously goes against everything we’ve stood for in the past: disagree all you want, voice it without repercussions. You may not get your way, but no one will be punished for their views.

According to the guy from Server.lu I was speaking with he only returned the ownership of the server to the original owner, which is Savvy. I find it hard to believe that Server.lu would just offer up a server full of private and confidential information to anyone with a bit of cash, so it appears at this point that the new ownership is no different from the old in terms of trustworthiness or honesty.
Unknown, yeah, not a clue...Quote:
Non-payment was kept a secret, for reasons still unknown.
What is this TPS everyone is talking about and why would I give a fuck about it.
who can helpme whit an invite on TPS
There are no traders there!
Oh... wait... :unsure:
You know what's annoying? When you asked for your account to be deleted a long time ago and sites still send you emails.
So you're saying that Savvy was the original and current owner and that Bubbl3 is therefore part of Savvy? And if so, who was the owner after Savvy?Quote:

when i tried interviewing for an invite to t.p.s., i was kicked and then permanently banned from their irc channel for asking the non-native english speaking interviewer to clarify a question for me
oh well, good riddance if it goes down
Savvy was a seedbox project started by TPS staff to fund the site. It was hijacked by a few select members who ran away with it and stole all the money. The server TPS was using was in Savvy's name so when they left it was transferred over to the TPS staff. Those staff members eventually stopped making payments on the server, so at Savvy's request Server.lu returned ownership of the server to Savvy. The new owner of TPS, Bubbl3, although he is a "volunteer" at Savvy is claiming to have no direct involvement with Savvy, yet he is somehow in possession of this server, along with the entire database full of private information. He's claiming that he simply approached Server.lu as an unassociated third party and requested to buy the server and that Server.lu sold it to him complete with all of the private and confidential data. Server.lu states that they did not sell him the server, and that they only returned it to it's previous owner, Savvy. So, it's pretty clear that Bubbl3 is lying about how he obtained the server and his involvement with Savvy, the question is... why?Quote:

I mean consider the whole concept. They are allegedly going to aid you the common man in getting an invite because that's democratic and good but they themselves require an invite because they sure the fuck wouldn't want just any spaz coming in off the street .The logic is priceless.
Honestly though we all realize that sites like this are only there for three purposes right? A vain attempt to create a sense of status for the people
in charge.A more achievable chance that the people in charge get into the sites that they so far haven't been able to. To fleece the membership in one way or another.
Sort of like religion then.
Maybe they should apply for tax exempt status.
Btw I just read an article on something called etiv on FSF .I'm not even Jewish and I almost plotzed.
Great, even more drama. I can certainly see where your fascination with it is coming from then. :mellow:Quote:

I used it for about a week if that.
I banned one of their old mods for ratio cheating and lost all respect for the site...
(I didn't have much to begin with but the cheating part made respect of 0.1 go all the way down to 0.0)
They invited our staff to become part of their tracker-staff group, when I told them I wanted to check out the site out before committing to anything they said I had to go through an interview first (yeah i know the irony) and they told me the site wasn't focused around invites even though every single question involved them somehow.
When my views apparently didn't match theirs they declined access. I knew enough and terminated all their staff members accounts to our site as well in return. If you are going to operate in that kind of manner it won't last...
When did it happen Jungleboy? You picked my curiosity...
And Pwner101, I'm sorry but since you don't cite any names, whether it's your so called site or the so called mod involved, your claims appear to be a little bit suspicious.
+ you're disabled here which makes you even less credible.
I'm sorry but I'm not for the systematic bashing of certain sites, especially when this site was under bad management and had a complete change of it very recently.
I'd say give the new staff the benefit of the doubt and also a little more time before resuming the mindless lynching, but I know it's demanding a little bit too much of the casual BT user.
This was a few months ago, somewhere in the summer...never heard anything from them after that.Quote:

Sites come and go and there will always be a lot of drama around file sharing sites, was that way in the past and will be that way in the future.
