uk-two?

Well if you were a member. You should check your old email addy. They used the uk-t db and sent out invites to old members.

That's not true. Most people were actively hunted down by other former members. That's how I was eventually badgered into joining.

It's not the same, it's not the same people running it, and the actual leeching activity is almost non-existent.

What about the packs, mate? Packs are oh-so-important, ya know?

Actually it is true ca_aok, but nevertheless I’m sorry you feel “hunted down and badgered” into joining, its not the first time you have voiced your displeasure, if you want your account deleted that can be done for you I’m sure.

Strange though that others have voiced displeasure at NOT being hunted down as you put it, the aim of the new site and no it’s not the same, it is a new site, is to ATTEMPT to re-group what was and still is for some a close knit group of people who used to have some fun together, but it’s just a site at the end of the day, some will come back lots will have moved on, such is life.

The mails that went out mostly went to spam or went undelivered, and were limited by the age of the info available to “older” members of the site, to put it in simple terms as I understand it, if your in the list then you get a new account, that is if you want one

I guess the spam detection was working pretty well then?

Go for it. I looked for both delacct.php and del_acct.php, as well as looking through the settings. I figured I'd eventually just get an inactivity ban. This idea of "re-creation" is a failure, and even if it wasn't, the time to recreate is immediately after the initial crash, not a year later after people have moved on and dispersed. Toss in the fact that no one actually snatches anything there and uploading is spotty at best, and you might as well have stuck with the UK-3 forum.

The vast majority of people who are sour about not being tracked down were either members that joined within the last year or so of the site when it was flooded by that whole crowd obsessed with 1337ness that seems to transcend every "community based" 0-day site, or weren't even members at all but put up appearances in an effort to get in on the ground floor of a site trying to ride off the former glory of a dead torrent site. Others were either invited via the email or were tracked down quickly at other communities.

We saw the exact same thing when CN was resurrected as TBH long after the demise of the site. It didn't work, and it was never going to work, it was a sinking ship from the start. A site is made up of many parts, not just its group of members. You can't just toss a handful of the same people into a site with no content, no forum posts, different staff, different design, and expect the same cohesive community to form just because the name is the same.

The main part is time. I was only a part of the original UK-T for the last day of its lifetime, which proved time had made it something actually fantastic (from my point of view at least), but know that it had over 6-7 years of history behind it at its demise. You can't expect something that has only been around for *insert however old UK-2 is here* to catch up to the old.

Content, forum posts, dedicated staff, an improved design etc. can all come with time. It's not really dealing justice to the staff trying to put it all back together to say "this is not good enough." You can just do your part to make it so.

And for the record, I am neither a member, nor do I care about being one at this reincarnation. So this isn't me defending anything out of entitlement or perceived importance. This is just a pure just level of reasoning.

EDIT: This post of mine is quite special. It's my first post as a 22 year old. As well as my 2400th post. This commemorates the most posts I have ever made on an online forum.

Accidentally posted the same thing twice. (The browser is lagging).

To me it's the idea that a functional 0day site can be built from day one with exclusivity and selectivity as job number one, and not the age of the site, that is holding it back.


For as long as I can remember it has appeared that most invites being passed around are amongst a small group of bt addicts that treat torrenting like a game. FTN has been the token bt addict tracker since 2006, and we all know that there is no real point in snatching from a second site, unless its some obscure scene release. Would think that to get good members you would have to open sign ups or something.
