If you know where to find the brokenstones staff, have them contact me ASAP.
It has to do with them getting their DB and code and saving the site.
Might be best to contact them on their irc channel:
irc.p2p-network.net
#vortexnetwork
please don't quote me on this, but i remember to have read somewhere that the db was lost.Quote:

You could always contact KrazyAlpha from UG or BG, I guess he was a staff member at BS.
I would love to do that, however the administration of that network will not allow me to be on it. So if you could have them come to me, that would be great :)Quote:

I'd bet that if the BS staff had the code and DB in hand (which they can) they would continue operation. I really need to speak to them ASAP though because I believe this window of opportunity is limited in time.Quote:

Great News!
:yahoo:
Yeah, Surprise News!
Good luck in getting brokenstones going again! I truly loved that site. It's one of the few sites that always put a smile on my face when I logged in. :)
Ud bet it... great
Hope everything goes well
I don`t think it`s about brokenstones ... do you feel me ?:whistlingQuote:

You may not be able to restart BrokenStones, but with access to the user database you will be able to send out a mass email informing them about the new VortexNetwork which has started up.
To Brandon, I forwarded the irc info to them as you requested.
it`s about getting back the DB
Awesome :) Hope to hear from them soon.Quote:

Ah hell ya Brandon!
Brokenstones is one of the most neccessary trackers i use being a Mac head for the last 10 years. If you can pull this off you are even more da man than you are now :P
The best of luck
cheers
B comes to the rescue!
:D
:yahoo:
I agree that Brokenstones has history! I joined years ago and at first mainly used it to acquire mac programs for my friends until I picked up one of my own and then it was heaven!
Agreed, that it does. I hope something can be worked out.Quote:

Was worth a try. Guess I thought the BS staff would care a bit more than this :-/
Cmon BS staff, the man is trying to help which in turn will help the rest of us who enjoyed your site. :frusty:Quote:

Don't take it personally, just take it as them sticking to their word.
Well that's too bad. Remind me not to pull personal favors for other sites in the future. Hope you guys all used proxies, they turn the servers over to the legal dept. this week I believe. Gotta love the US putting pressure on poor countries :/Quote:

Anyways, lock this I suppose.
Come on, I find all of this hard to beleive...
It isn't remotedly hard to find them, irc.vortexnetwork.org #vortexnetwork...
Anybody really wanting to contact the staff could do so almost instantly.
As I said before. I don't know anything about vortextracker. I'll have an invite soon thanks to polarbear. As I also said, I cannot join that irc as it's run on a network that is owned by someone who has personal issues with me. I will get banned from the irc before I can even say a word to anyone. It's not worth it.Quote:

It was an attempt to save a site that I used more than any other and cared a lot about due to it's unique nature. I was only trying to help.
Very good effort there Brandon as Sgt said they did say it wouldn't be back up..I get teh feeling that maybe staffers there had a difference of opinions and hence Vortex, which does look great for something not a week old.
AS to proxies..well I hope the US members did use them!
It also works in reverse, and they are aware of the situation and if they really wanted to help, then they would step up to the plate, but it seems they prefer for it to die altogether, which is a shame.Quote:

This is a shame..
BrokenStones was great from what I've heard.
:dabs:
Well, I did join irc after I noticed it was hosted on whatcd's network (which I have no issues with their staff) and spoke to one of the vortextracker staff but it still looks like this is going to be a wild goose chase.
Sorry if I got anyones hopes up. I'm still shocked I was able to get FTN's server back, although my friend over there (malaysia) did pretty much say we broke no laws. Just the US trying to pull another piratebay by sending threats. Regardless I did wipe FTN's old server to be safe :P
I will say though, vortextracker looks to have a lot of potential, and staff seem very friendly. So at least us mac users aren't totally out in the cold.
I do miss BS though :(
Well, if there's a positive to be drawn out of all of this, it's a bunch of happy staff at VortexTracker :lol: :P
a member says they have their old db back . so which is one is true ?:wacko:Quote:

Brandon, I need some major help! My FTN login password is saying its a mismatch. I joined in April and have been faihfully waiting for things to get back to normal. Never used IRC chat but tried to figure out how to use it to try to get in contact with FTN support as my original invite email said to do so. Is this an isolated incident or....?? My user is same as this.Quote:

Vortexnetwork will follow in brokenstones footsteps.
I moved the old DB (the one right b4 we got shut down) over from the old server to the new server, then wiped the old server. So both are true. So to put it in easy terms, we picked up right where we left off.Quote:
