TorrentIt Closing in two weeks

The site is closing primarily for other reasons, but this debacle certainly sped things up. Serb was a Mod, then an Admin on TiT, was also a Mod on GFT. He disappeared some weeks back, probably due to him wedging himself in deep with sceners. Honestly, it made our jobs on TiT a fair bit easier, but it didn't stop the PM's and bragging about "I did this" or I caused that" which thoroughly disgusted both of us.

In the end, finding out that some people would rather dismiss his actions and keep him for his lone asset prompted me to immediately decide to shut the site down, rather than do what I mentioned in the post that was copied from the TPS forums. I didn't think it was prudent to have TiT either directly or indirectly contributing to, or benefitting from, someone of this nature.

I'm sure Serb will find this thread, as he will find others, and if he pre's on us, then so be it. We've got some scruples, he apparently doesn't. The sad thing is, he doesn't see that he's wrong to do what he's doing.

I'll raise this one more level, and see if I can shock FST with the statement. Assuming you aren't already aware, that is.

Serb once told me that he had access to either a current or former FST staffer's account, and that's where at least some of his info was coming from. I don't know whose account, so I can't help you there, but there you go, and access was willingly given to him, so he says.

Anyway, all that aside, I expected some flaming when I was pointed to this thread. I'm pleasantly surprised to see some level heads prevailing, and appreciate the good sentiment, even if we won't agree on all things bittorrent. It's nice to know that we can earn respect for being decent human beings once in a while.

Cheers.

Makes sense.
 
I am sorry for ur tracker BlastGT1 but dont worry. The life goes on. This isnt the real life so dont worry for world here. Dont take serious.

And i am sad to see another tracker die.
And all the best BlastGT1 and MuddSlinger
 
I can't feel pity for any of them. They sold their soul to the devil in exchange for pre-times.
They sure enjoy hunting and pushing around people, and try to make a name for themselves on the leet "closed" communities. I could say so much about this, but I no longer give a shit for other kids who need to review their priorities. I've seen my fair share of them coming and going.
Heck, I've even seen some of those using ip catching invisible pixels on their signatures, those same who preach righteousness on the bt land.

I guess there's no line dividing the good and the evil on BT, just people who can see further, and other who aren't capable of removing their head out of their arse.
Serb was just smarter and took advantage of those in need for protagonism. He clearly outsmarted them.
 
Whatever you did wasn't enough. I too talked to Detale about it and voiced my opinion in public against Personal Information exposure, but that didn't change much did it?
You should have acted on it right away. You should have gotten rid of him from TiT to teach him a lesson, or at least taking away his privileges for a month or two.

You can say whatever to defend yourself but the fact and the matter is that you had the power to do something about what serb was doing and you didn't.
I don't need to know any facts to know that you acted like a coward.

Go ahead though. Enjoy criticizing him now because it really means something.
Who the fuck are you to tell him what he "should have done". There are tons of people who have/had the power to do something. Now you are attacking the person who did do something. Makes perfect sense :rolleyes:
 
You seriously don't know who you are talking about in this case with BlastGT1 and Muddslinger, toddle off & do some research first, they are both very senior and respected members of the BT community, Serb on the other hand.....
You're supposing he cared to read the opening post. Don't put your expectations too high. :ermm:
 
a)serb was a hacker when they made him mod.
b)serb was still a hacker when they elevated him to admin.
Am glad that blast and mudd have taken a stand but all factors considered,this thread is basically a toxic mix of dissimilation,hypocrisy and duplicity.

I suppose the temptation is there to turn a blind eye as they're not people you know personally, so it won' t affect you, right? No real harm being done, is there?
That was probably it till it got real with one of them.

I think I know a little something about h4ckers(not n00bies who think they r l337 coz they phish IPs off FST).Talking big boy stuff here and I'll assume that's where you guys place serb.Closing the site is in essence you telling serb that he's won and he should double the hours he spends in his mommy's basement coding shit and stuff.

Bluntly put this is TiT got scared of banning serb so serb made em close shop.Believe you me what you are set on doing isn't going to help your cause.You don't ostracize the unwanted by caving in to the fear they try to infuse in you.
He's not god,settindice was given a time out and he came back different.
GFT is probably the only site that has the power to reason with this guy but I figure he's probably osmosised a little of himself into their heads.

PS:This is how you handle a good but a dumb h4cker who doesn't know where the line is at.

If the term Global Ban applies, there is someone who indeed deserves it.


I agree 100%


and for the record in all honesty, I should have taken this stance long ago (and I apologize to those affected)

But, it took sometime for me and others to say fuck it, if we get our info and our family's exposed for standing against what he was doing, and we may very well may end up exposed by serb for taking a stand against his actions.

If that's the price that has to be paid to put a stop to what has been going on then so be it. Him exposing now will only raise more people to oppose these actions.
 
I'm glad you opened your eyes, and not being one of those I quoted with the "head up their arse".
Nothing can't be reversed, only death.

After all, this is just the interwebz, but some take it too seriously, and we all here waste more time than the average guy. no exceptions.
Hope you can help mend some damage that might have been caused.
You're welcomed here, though we all know the philosophical differences between this site and what many think BT should be.

Oh, and be assured any personal info eventually posted here will be promptly deleted.
It's one of the things not allowed here, unlike other places that ideologically disagree with this site and say it is evil.

Well TiT is closing now, something is obviously being done about the Serb/Nimueh/Whitney situation, I don't know why some of you are re-hashing the past. I know both BlastGT1 and Muddslinger are good people with good intentions, Serb on the other hand has a malicious nature about him.
 
I appreciate your words, as I've always done my best to treat each person on a case-by-case basis, and not paint everyone with the same brush. I've been staffing on private sites for over 4 years now, and I'm not going to be disappearing into the night. I'm still around, and you might find me on the staff page of at least one high-profile tracker, if you look around a little bit, as well as another that's not as widely known.

Hey, you don't have to worry anymore about posting moderation, as you see everyone posts here what passes through his head.

As for serb, I don't give a dime. If you all say Serb is such a threat for many why were you frightened to take measures in consequence? fack if it was for me , first mistake -> bum headsh00t

In some cases (I won't speak for anybody else in particular), it was more the fact that we tried, time and time again, to get him to see the error of his ways, and when he continually refused to understand that intending to hurt people was wrong, we simply had no options left. Sometimes things don't manifest until much later, and then you're trying to do damage control. I'm sorry if some of you feel like you were the bottom rung on the ladder, but in all cases, people will look out for those closest to them first, then move outward from there. If there was so much fear, we'd still be silent on the matter. Rest assured that quite a few community staffers have had their issues with him, and have spoken up on the matter.
 
Oh it's here too...

I would love to say a big 'Thank you' to Blast and Mood cause they do right things from my view point. Looks like it's another example when ego wins commons sens and moral norms. I remember Serb made some good things for me, I wasn't a witness of that pre...so I don't know any details around this...but IMHO there are no any reasons in BT world (and in the whole real world as well) to made such things.
privacy...

Good luck to all guys who become much more public, good luck to TiT...:(
