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?

[seppypom]

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.

(I do not know the validity of this) Someone who is in direct communication (again supposedly) has informed me that the owner of TPG was attempting to hand over TPG for some time but after learning TPG was being used by certain “group” for tracking and gathering internal information took it offline for safety purposes of the BT community. (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?

Did that come from Retro, and if so did he say why?

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...
