STN closing down?

Title says it all. While browsing its forums today, I found this post by the site founder:

No need to send me a pm with your transaction ID as I'm refunding everyones money including previous donors.

I'll spend my time, my money, and my effort on something else that brings me enjoyment. Because taking abuse from the handful of ignorant, uneducated people here is consuming way to much of my time

In response to this:

If this gets me banned, than it's just another example to the rest of the members here that we aren't allowed to have opinions on this site (I recall you saying you'd ban anyone talking about tbdev... are you serious?). If we can't have opinions than I have no place here anymore. It just scares me that if you hate Modern Warfare 2 for whatever reasons that you won't allow us to talk about the game on the forums or in irc. Please reassure me these type of things won't happen in the future.

The rest of the thread (originally about temporary restrictions that were imposed) are mostly posts begging yocto to change his mind. Personally, I won't miss it - not a big fan of Pay2Leech.

I lost my bet. I thought It would last until 1-jan-2010

Never saw it coming

I'm not going to miss it either. Sure, they had fast pretimes, but STN's owner is known to be a real douche when it comes to talking about his beloved TS.

As in "ban for everyone else that proposes TBdev or Gazelle"

Yeah. That's exactly what I was talking about. His seedboxes were great, but if he actually listened to his users' opinions, then his tracker would have been a success. My two cents.
