PTP Closing Down!

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.

Thats it. PTP is closing down!
 
Oh no dey are so big secret.

Edit : Oh no dey are not shutting down without more drama

Z and Dexter were generous enough to transfer the ownership of the site. Please do not speculate on my identity, I will not confirm or deny anything. I do not want it to become a well-known fact.

More details to come!

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.
 
Well, maybe it's time to start thinking about another tracker ahead. I really like the tracker and all but who knows if it's going to survive for another month or two? :unsure:

So, if it really closes, what would be a good substitute? Sheriff already said PTN but another user said TC (which I don't even know what TC stands for, on purpose I guess :P).

ps: by substitute I mean a tracker as easy (or hard) to survive as PTP and with a good movie database.

If it's conspiracy or not, I don't know but we have heard enough to call that "problem". :(
 
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.
 
New announce:

xxxxx and xxxxx were generous enough to transfer the ownership of the site. Please do not speculate on my identity, I will not confirm or deny anything. I do not want it to become a well-known fact.

With that said, the site-wide freeleech will continue for 48 hours as payment of the staff's appreciation for you sticking with us throughout the site's tumultuous times.

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!
 
TC is TehConnection, it's also a gazelle movie tracker. It's one of the oldest gazelle trackers in existence but it's never really "taken off" from what I've seen. They're usually looking for new members and invites aren't too hard to come by. Nice looking place and friendly people, I'd give it a try.

Goem is also a nice place, the design is much more oldschool though.

I saw that above Dexter's announcement when logging in to PTPC today, and that made me unsure of whether they'd actually be closing down or not. It'd appear they won't. :unsure:

The place is the only private movie tracker I belong to and I used it for its content, so I'd be rather sad (for lack of a better term) if it was shut down.
