is this place legit? like the same staff and everything as before?
if so who can i talk to about getting invited back? i was around before it got shut down and if it's all the same people they should remember me or at the very least someone would remember my old avatar from there, that shit popped. anyways, someone please point me i the right direction. thanks :)
if it's a remake with all new staff then i'll pass.
Haven't here that uk-* is back. Who told you that information?
A little bird told him. (In the Twitter era, that's now possible)Quote:

Not worth the effort. Not at all.
sadly, the same goes for a shitload of sites. :yup:Quote:

The new site is pretty decent IMO.Just that resurrecting the old uk-t was highly improbable, the current staffs have managed to bring in some new blood as well as retain some old folks which does make it a healthy and active community.
guess i'll pass, i miss their forum but it's sounding like it's more of a ripoff than anything else. thanks for the info. :)
Far from a ripoff lol
well people who had nothing to do with the original site remake it and get as many people from the old site to come back, sounds like a ripoff to me. this is all what i've read from other people, if they have it wrong and the creator of v2 was at the very least staff from the original then my bad. either way i got what i wanted to know and it doesn't interest me.
Well if you were a member. You should check your old email addy. They used the uk-t db and sent out invites to old members.
That's not true. Most people were actively hunted down by other former members. That's how I was eventually badgered into joining.
It's not the same, it's not the same people running it, and the actual leeching activity is almost non-existent.
What about the packs, mate? Packs are oh-so-important, ya know?Quote:

The mails that went out mostly went to spam or went undelivered, and were limited by the age of the info available to “older” members of the site, to put it in simple terms as I understand it, if your in the list then you get a new account, that is if you want one ;)
I guess the spam detection was working pretty well then?Quote:

Toss in the fact that no one actually snatches anything there and uploading is spotty at best, and you might as well have stuck with the UK-3 forum.Quote:

Others were either invited via the email or were tracked down quickly at other communities.
We saw the exact same thing when CN was resurrected as TBH long after the demise of the site. It didn't work, and it was never going to work, it was a sinking ship from the start. A site is made up of many parts, not just its group of members. You can't just toss a handful of the same people into a site with no content, no forum posts, different staff, different design, and expect the same cohesive community to form just because the name is the same.
The main part is time. I was only a part of the original UK-T for the last day of its lifetime, which proved time had made it something actually fantastic (from my point of view at least), but know that it had over 6-7 years of history behind it at its demise. You can't expect something that has only been around for *insert however old UK-2 is here* to catch up to the old.Quote:

And for the record, I am neither a member, nor do I care about being one at this reincarnation. So this isn't me defending anything out of entitlement or perceived importance. This is just a pure just level of reasoning.
EDIT: This post of mine is quite special. It's my first post as a 22 year old. As well as my 2400th post. This commemorates the most posts I have ever made on an online forum.

For as long as I can remember it has appeared that most invites being passed around are amongst a small group of bt addicts that treat torrenting like a game. FTN has been the token bt addict tracker since 2006, and we all know that there is no real point in snatching from a second site, unless its some obscure scene release. Would think that to get good members you would have to open sign ups or something.
There are/were other l33t sites that are part of the trading game, many traders got access to UK-T but just lurked because posting exposed their poor english and staff suddenly got interested, FTWR was another highly sought after site now deceased and I remember what a frenzy there was for 'old' SweDVR memberships when they closed off membership to anything other than Scandinavian IP's unless you were an old member.Quote:

There is a long list of trackers that fall into this category and fell into obscurity as fast: ScN, RtS (1&2), iLife,etc ad infinitum (I'm sure you TSOL have your own list of those that deeply sucked in this category).
And of course the real jewel in the crown of any collector right now is HDBits, why because it is hard to get into, so getting into it automatically makes them a better person. I'm not quite sure how this works but apparently it is very important because there seem to be a great deal of people who dedicate a great deal of time to climbing this imaginary ladder, only to find in the end that the same content was to be had within a couple of minutes at the outside, on other far more easily accessible trackers.
I myself truly do not understand what the buzz is in having 40, 50 , 60 or more torrent sites on your bookmarks, it's not like it is a life achievement, in fact if you rocked up to most people in the street and proudly pronounced that one, they would think you retarded.

You should get that checked out.
:idunno:
I love you, and I don't even need to be gay to say that.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face, putzy.
Least I could do considering you have nothing better to do on your 22nd birthday than browse the internet.
Now now, he's just a baby! Happy 22 (get off of here and go get some action)
I didnt feel in capable hands there security wise.. but like ca_aok I failed to find a possibility to delete my acc and I doubt staff would actually delete my acc either, bc I assume they have no button to click on for that and I'm afraid, messing around with the db is too much to ask.
There are still some nice people on the irc from the old days though :)
Was your account automatically created for you without you registering on the site?Quote:
