FTWR Closing Down!

[anon]

@IdolEyes787: if I heard correctly, the recent backup was stored on the same disk drive that failed.

Good planning.

If you can have a tracker with 2400 awesome members who ALWAYS help versus a tracker with 100,000 members who leech and run without uploading......... what would you choose? And think about that from the staff's perspective as well. It's all about management.

Receiving a "high level" invite is actually quite easy when you make friends rather than just breaking the rules trying to achieve those invites.

Those who have good friends know that when a tracker like rabbit closes it's really not that big of a deal.

Couldn't have put it better myself, except for the last part. I was a member of Rabbit and now that it's gone can't really see any replacement in the horizon.

It was a site with good people, that really was different from the rest. It stood out because everybody was on good terms, and help was so easy to get.

This is a shame. I'm a bit late finding this news out, first the Unstoppable Machine ScT is taken down - members of the staff having been arrested, no less - and now a site that was so closed AFA access was concerned (which proves the strictest privacy is apparently not sufficient to warrant safety..) is taken down.

God forbid that any of the team should be taken behind bars too.

RIP FTWR.

either they are lying or they must be really retarded to not backup the site on their comp lol

probably / possibly 2nd opinion sounds more like the truth.

Bit torrent site for the most part are someones hobby and sites won't last forever.They move onto other endeavors or challenges,but other sites will pop up and mold them self's in the current environment could be the next site to generate the interest.
Sites will need to continue to evolve with times to be successful,
2003,2004 there was no such thing a ratio free no chance that would have happened back then didn't nee that kind of thing to get members.
These won't be the only sites we love that will eventually disappear

The flag of the hush hush universal sharing community's .

Is this the end of private torrenting as we know it?

Is this the end of private torrenting as we know it?

Not really - they'd need to shut down all private trackers for that.

^^even secret trackers like CN
