there are definitely some real members in this thread whose avatars i recognize. i was a lurker mostly though, but a lurker who can prove he was a member all the same. anyone who was a member there should be able to prove that they were one way or another.

we just have to wait and see what really is going on, or find out what happened at the very least.

checkin this thread daily...

I'm about the same status as you but i have a couple screen shots
of my account for irc info purposes and helpful info regarding the site with my un and ratio so that's a little proof or membership:)

Wrong. It'd be nice if posts like yours could be moderated.

I've added some of you whom I recognized based on username and/or avatar. You'll be helped shortly.

If there is anybody I missed, feel free to PM me and I'll take care of you if I remember who you were. :)

As far as the site coming back, it's almost certainly not coming back.

Just to bump Ein's post for anyone who may have missed it as there are nearly 30 pages here. Add him to your friends list.

Oh and DV8, great post as always, did you get my e-mail the other day??

The takedown appears voluntary, and people should stop worrying about it and get on with their lives.

TheBox.bz is 100x better for UK tv shows. But of course, UK-T was soooo much cooler because it was sooo much harder to get into. :rolleyes:

my bad, i should have spent more than 5 minutes on that tracker before realizing it was a piece of shit and trading it away for FTN.

Once again, my bad.

If you have any substantiated information that might clear up the situation for the (ex-)members of the site, and, as you've repeatedly hinted, is crucial to their personal security, why don't you just share it here where everyone can see it?

That is if you actually have anything worthwhile saying (which quite frankly, I'm beginning to seriously doubt at this stage).

Re: what happend to UK-T

I'm not a part of UKT so I may not fully understand the circumstances but honestly, if I were looking for answers I would just sit tight and wait. Squizzle has already stated not to trust outside sources and that sez is "talking out his ass" (I think it's pretty obvious he's joking...), and that he would provide information soon. Theres no point in trying to garner information from unreliable sources that may be doing nothing more than trying to steal information from you.

Hey pro267, I'll give you one guess who this poem by Jessy Randall may refer to?

Jessy Randall

One Day, The Ass-Talker Stopped Talking Out of His Ass

His mother said, My darling, I can hardly believe it. His father
said, What? What did you say? His sister said It's only temporary. His
brother said Could you repeat that? And so the ass-talker apologized
again. I was wrong, he said. I was only guessing. I never really knew
the answer.

Re: what happend to UK-T

I dont think sez is talking out of his ass, I heard the same thing as he did from his "source" (or the source of his source). But I have also heard some things that makes me really think it's BS.

The fact that the site doesnt have a big message telling you it was shut down is a good thing.. Be patient in time im sure some details will come out.

Re: what happend to UK-T

He, since everyone and his dog from wheelmods is over here I'll add my 2 cents and Hi! to all.

Suprised at the haters out there for Uk-T (and others - Jeez "the box.bz" is a very good site of its type)
guess that "community thing" doesn't go over for everyone.

Since many were there from the start 4 years+ and knew others from Elite torrents before what 18months and before that it was ?Phoenix Torrents or something then its OK to be sad...

FST look like a good place too tho, anyway flame on....

I'll never get over Phoenix-Torrents...I was staff there when admin voluntarily closed the doors on 188,000 users. It was a few days after Suprnova got taken down and the torrent world was still very much on edge to say the least. PT was the last genuine forum based p2p (Invision PB I think) + tracker that I can recall...you remember...each release was a separate thread with all kinds of deets and screenshots, TY's, and with actual discussions about the rls, the a/v quality, opinions and all sorts.
The way P2P used to be....:sadwalk:

Well I certainly haven't been here in years. Forgot I even had an account here until I tried to sign back up. I did find this discussion of uk-t useful . At least I know something happened and someone just didn't trip over the server plug...:)
