STN closing down?

[anon]

But not under yocto's command:

Well, as most of you have read, heard or otherwise seen. STN was slated for closure on Dec15th. Since the announcment was first made, there has been mixed reactions in the bittorrent community. Today I(Mcface) have spoken with yocto about the future of STN and where to go from here. He has given me the keys to the site, and has allowed me to take it in almost any driection I would like. Now I am full of ideas, but always open to suggestion. I would like to start discussion of the future of STN HERE. Nothing will be changing today. But over the next few weeks, minor changes will be implemented.

So they can get more donations and shut down after the Holidays? This site will end up failing. Is not right to force donations and how is p2l any safer?

Storethe.net is staying open. It was announced today.

Is not right to force donations

Sure it isn't, but let them realize that themselves. Their tracker, their rules

I'm a member over there, as you obviously are too anon-sbi.

You're right, it'll no longer be under yocto's command. I think it's been put in capable hands though. I don't think they'll shut down after the holidays.

After the initial brewhaha over the sponsorships, the members had more of a voice. yocto was good at including our thoughts in his plans. I think that will continue.

I'm not in the forced donation/p2l debate. I've always gladly given a few bucks to help support sites I like. This was no different to me. I've given more to some and had them close a month later.

Agreed. I like that MCFace guy, although we'll need to see if he has enough skill and time to run a full tracker. First of all, he'd need to get the auto-upload bots back up.

I'm not sure about that. I suggested him a lot of fixes and feature additions for the tracker, but he ended up implementing none of them.

I like him too. He deserves the shot. I think everything will be up again soon.

Look at this way, now you've got a fresh face to pitch your ideas to.

I hate to sound corny here but I'll leave this thread alone now out of respect for the privacy of STN and our fellow members. You know how we are.

You're right. I hope I won't be talking to a wall this time

MCFace is going to get a lot of gray hairs on his head soon. If he doesn't enable all the "good" features that STN had, then all of his users will leave him.

At least is a good start; i know Mcface and the site is better in his hands than in Yoctos.

Don't know the new owner, but one thing is for sure. If the site continues with the p2l policy, it will fail again
