Guest PDO December 23, 2004 Share Guest PDO Guests December 23, 2004 Suprnova.org ClosesDecember 19, 2004 Thomas Mennecke For two years, SuprNova.org maintained the largest BitTorrent community on the Internet. Literally millions of individuals each day would traverse this BitTorrent site looking for the latest releases. Although SuprNova was not a tracker, it did provide thousands of Torrent links to a multitude of movies, games, images and music. Today, the millions who called SuprNova home are now facing the grim reality that SuprNova.org no longer exists. SuprNova.org's fall comes shortly after the demise of other key BitTorrent and eDonkey2000 link sites. Last week, the MPAA and other world wide copyright organizations began to clamp down on ShareConnector, Youceff Torrents and many others. While SuprNova.org was not forced off line, the administration was definitely feeling the pressure. Slyck spoke with Sloncek, administrator of SuprNova.org about its closure. "SuprNova.org was more like a hobby that took most of my free time away. And now with current situation, there’s too much pressure and I don’t have the time for it." Considering that administrators of smaller, although no less significant, communities such as ShareConnector were actually arrested, Sloncek decided to take SuprNova.org off line voluntarily. This will allow him and his fellow administrative staff to concentrate on other projects without worry of prosecution. While the ability to trade information was a key reason for the success of SuprNova.org, the community will remain intact. SuprNova.org's forums and IRC network will remain online. In addition to keeping the community functioning, it will also allow the SuprNova.org administration to relay any addition news and information. The following statement is all that remains on SuprNova.org: Greetings everybody, As you have probably noticed, we have often had downtimes. This was because it was so hard to keep this site up! But now we are sorry to inform you all, that SuprNova is closing down for good in the way that we all know it. We do not know if SuprNova is going to return, but it is certainly not going to be hosting any more torrent links. We are very sorry for this, but there was no other way, we have tried everything. Thank you all that helped us, by donating mirrors or something else, by uploading and seeding files, by helping people out on IRC and on forum, by spreading the word about SuprNova.org. It is a sad day for all of us! http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=626 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangefamous December 24, 2004 Share strangefamous Member December 24, 2004 (edited) Suprnova is working on a new software to decentralize the hosting of torrents, I'm one of the few lucky ones to get into the controlled beta, they're strict can't really say much but don't worry folks, this will revolutionize the way things are done... here's a taste http://img150.exs.cx/img150/5641/exeem4gt.jpg Edited December 24, 2004 by strangefamous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
