PTM going to turn out like ScT? - Take donations and run?

Anyone read their latest announcement?

Yay for Paypal
Posted Dec-09-09 by Floxxx

Hi all,

Due to the great support of the wonderful company called Paypal, the secondary account we keep the donations in got locked down. Our primary account is still working, however we are now short about $2200.= until we can get the crap with paypal sorted.

Unfortunately the bills we have to pay to keep this site and it's seedboxes running do not wait for something like this. We are gonna need this amount in the next 2-3 days, to prevent services being shut down.

I know there's been issues in the last few weeks with uptime of the website, but i urge you to please contribute. The new server is packed and ready to be shipped to the datacenter, so that will be up and running in the next 2-3 weeks.

You all have my promise that the donations you send us will be put to good use after we have our secondary account back!

Vuze:

Vuze 4.3 version has been allowed on the tracker!!

Update: We've received approx. $1500 in donations since i've posted this announcement! Thanks to all who have donated already, and for those who haven't already: please help us out!

All donations received from now until 1st January will receive double VIP time!

In addition to this you can choose from one of the two following options:

Double Credits
The double credit options we offer as as follows:
$10 VIP status for 2 months, and an extra 400 credits
$20 VIP status for 4 months, and an extra 900 credits

$80 VIP status for 16 months, and an extra 5000 credits
$100 VIP status for 20 months, and an extra 7000 credits

$20 VIP status for 4 months, and an extra 450 credits
$40 VIP status for 8 months, and an extra 1000 credits

Sounds a bit iffy? :lol:
 
trackers need donation to survive, why holding such a bias toward it?

and only the donator of ScT have the right to complain about ScT staff, did you donate to ScT?
 
They had that problem a few months back as well with another Paypal account. I think the staff and core members there are good people, generally older, and I believe they split off from FunFile because of the problems with disingenuous staff and donations there. So the attitude towards donations might be different.

I'm still waiting to see whether there are any news articles about the alleged arrests of Scenetorrents staff members before I reach a conclusion about what happened there. I'm skeptical that a tracker that was so successful and were on the verge of making some big improvements would suddenly pull the plug for a few bucks. I've donated over 100E to SCT and don't feel like I was robbed.

You won't see one till April at least. :ermm:
 
@ feeling Always you come , insult someone and then dissapear untill the next strike.

The question was legit!

I don't think PTM has any intention to run away with your money.They are in some sort of problems right now, and asked help. IF you are a member there and want to help, it's your choice to do so or not.
 
@ Idol: Since you have blue stars, you can probably speak on his behalf.

@ Feeling: I know all too well how long such things take. I'm patient. I wonder if the replacement will be up before then.
