    Dear PTP Users,

    It's sad that it's come to this, but after a long discussion and several days of issues with donations and such, we have decided to close our beloved site forever. We are incredibly saddened that circumstances have come to this, and we cannot begin to say how sorry we are about this. This site has become part of our lives. We've gained friends, some knowledge, and of course a good movie or two. There's no good way to write a goodbye news post, and there's definitely not any part of this we enjoy.

    We've been through a lot, as a community, and as staff. We've had our ups, our downs, and we've overcame them all. This, sadly, is something we cannot overcome. We simply cannot afford to push on anymore, and we regret to inform you of this decision that has not come lightly.

    We love our community, and we cannot begin to express the thanks we have for all of you in your hard work, support of each other and the site itself, and the countless hours most of you have spent on the site making it the great site it has become.

    As one last token of our appreciation, we will be enabling site-wide freeleech and keep the site up until the end of our servers billing cycle. This will be essentially until the end of this month. This may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it's all we can do at this time. We hope you all understand the sadness that comes with this decision, and know it was something we have not taken lightly. Our userbase is incredible, and we hope you find a home after we're gone.

    As said, we are so grateful for all of you, and we hope you can see this from our perspective.

    In closing, to our userbase, I personally thank you for everything, and hope you take what you've learned here and utilize it wherever life takes you.

    PassThePopcorn.me Staff

    On a side-note, it may help if you screenshot your profile to help your hunt for other sites.
    Thats it. PTP is closing down!

    I feel for them, I really do. The database leak, the child porn, donation stealing, terrible internal staffing issues, and of course the recent mess, seems like they just couldn't shake the drama.

    A definite bummer. They went from "oh yet another movie tracker" to my back up for Karagarga. RIP.

    Edit: Recent announcements state they will not be shutting down... yet.

    Clearly PTN is one of the places that could easily absorb many of their userbase.

    Hope they change their minds.The tracker has one of the best content in whole of BT and with their collages,the tracker is one of its kind.Unfortunately lot of butt hurt immature docuhebags just kept on causing problems for it.PTP will be sorely missed if it goes down.

    TC would probably be the top runners for an alternative IMO,PTN has a really small user-limit compared to PTP(almost 1/4th)

    Please do us a favor, and do not hit-and-run the FL torrents. Staff will be checking for this, and unfortunately disciplining those as necessary.

    More details to come!
    hehe my "if" held true

    Wasn't that "Z" guy a new owner himself? This is kinda getting ridiculous, but luckily I don't care much for movie trackers in general so meh
