A big site like that can't just disappear with no information or a reason....

There is really nothing out there on what happened? I don't think the owners on vacation and doesn't know it's down. Someone would've contacted them by now about it.

To be honest. vacation to me woud be locking myself in a room full of servers, haha.

Does anyone know any of the staff on that site that can get some credible information?

Staff does not know, as of Saturday, they said they still can not reach the owner. So its still a Mystery.

Well it's been about a month now so I doubt it's all due to the owner being on vacation... I suppose it's possible the guy who runs it decided to call it quits and pulled the plug, although why he wouldnt tell anyone I dont know. Maybe there were some troubles behind the scene that we don't know about. I hope I'm wrong and it will be back soon.

As far as we know the person who looks after the server is MIA, no one can reach him. I am not too sure why no one else has put up a temp server or anything in the meantime though.

It sucks, I miss wasting time at work posting on TPG.. :-(

Hunting for a answer brought me back here, I'll PM retro on his site and see what's up.

TPG was a great resource for the BT community, I hope all's ok.

(Specifically ftp servers (topsites), private groups who were directly involved into many currently existing top BT private sites, etc…). I was told there were some internal staff issues were going on too due to information leakage.

Again this is not something I have heard from the owner my self but through a third party.

What a load of bollocks. The site is down because the owner is on vacation and doesn't know that it is down.





Long vacation huh?

Unfortunately for the BT community, TPG is down for good. verified.

R.I.P TPG :-(

Doesn't need to come from Retro. If P2PAlaska says it's gone then it's gone...he would have contacts as reliable as anyone else.

RIP TPG.

We'll see...

:( :( it was a good site .

bad news if its true :mellow:

This information is 100% incorrect.

A few people have now been informed of the real reason why its been down so long. Doesnt have to do with leaks or anything of that sort as well.

I am not elligible to give the exact reason its down but based on what Ive seen elsewhere the sites down until further notice.
Wish I could give the exact reason but I wont.

To confirm its only down for the time being you can refer to the TPG irc channel as well.

Well in this case the info is false at this time. The real reason is something we can not give out. Down the road they might close it for good or maybe someone else takes it on. But untill then dont beleave anything you hear as its all B.S unless a TPG Staff says so.

Melvinmeow, sent PM :-)

And for the record boys and girls..I just reported the site was done, and did in no way speculate the reason why.

Evidently that now includes me as well ROFL..

Exactly what Melvin has said.
:cry:

-It is a sad day as TPG was a great place for the torrent community.

It is now back up and running, for all those that kept faith in the place.

Yes people he are back online.

Is a great site for the community BT.:yup:


:gunsmilie

Has the URL changed, my bookmark points to ThePeerGroup.net and that isnt working for me.

Works for me, maybe the DNS is still migrating.

Most likely a DNS issue, as seppy has pointed out.

Cheers for the replies, will just keep checking it. :D

Is the company the owner works for hiring? I sure wouldnt mind a 5 month vacation. :w00t:

No rly, what happened to TPG?

It's been down for quite awhile now :( . torrentit info site states that they indeed have had some troubles. But are working out technical problems and hope to be up in the not so distant future. Good luck TPG and hope to see you up and about real soon.

The person in charge of the server has passed away. This happened some time back, but I believe things are coming to a head.

He was truly a friend of mine and I hate the fact that I could not have been there to help. Although we have been apart, consider this a message that I do miss him and all involved. You guys were the greatest family I had.

it was up for a while but it has gone away

whats the point of bring back a dead thread...
in the future just make a new one.

The information contained herein is still relevant. No need for a new one. :dabs:

Tell us IP number instead of URL if it's DNS issue!
