Well, that certainly was unexpected.

Sign of the apocalypse? Quite possibly.

I'm only vaguely familiar with ThePirateBay... Is it (or "was it") any good?

Another ninja conspiracy....Curse you ninjas.

I read about it on Digg, it was only a matter of time.

May have been a matter of time, but it will hardly have an impact. Every site shut down further pushes p2p folk to rebel. Other trackers will rise. New technology will emerge. The only way to defeat piracy is accept that it is an exploitable part of the market.

Aaw.

Yar!

Nah... I think this one was all Vikings.

I'm actually sort of looking forward to when all the torrent sites are shut down. You know why?


Because that will force the development of decrentalized, searchable torrent networks that don't require a central tracker to speed the fuck already.

nooooooooooooo!!!

pirate bay was a good friend, under the circumstances that a show i wanted to see forgot to get taped...

damn it!

I know, right?

I honestly never went there, and I have something downloading or seeding on BitTorrent basically 24/7, so...*shrugs*.

I'll miss TorrentSpy, if/when it gets killed, some, but there are still other sites out there that are occasionally more result-filled. And I do most of my downloading from private trackers these days anyhow.

Suprnova dying was a catastrophe for me. It took ages to find another decent source, since Suprnova was where I entered and since they had pretty much everything I'd ever cared to look for, I'd never bothered to try and find others.

Our proud viking heritage.
