It's December 2006 and Christmas is on the way.
The Christmas decorations are up and we're all getting some of that old Christmas Spirit.
So, over the next month, the uploaders are planning a few surprises for your Christmas Stockings.
These guys have worked really hard for this, breaking all of the torrentbytes uploading rules,
and we really appreciate everything that they have done. We hope you do too.
We, the staff, would like to thank them for all their efforts, in this, and for everything they do for the site.
Thanks guys.
There are a few other things happening right now too:-
Firstly, As site is coming up for it's second birthday, the domain name is up for renewal.
Unfortunately, negotiations for control of the domain have failed and we have been unable to secure it,
therefore we no longer have control of the torrentbytes.net domain name.
This is what has been causing all the recent DNS issues, for which we can only apologise again.
So, over the next week or so we will ask you to update your bookmarks. New Domain to be announced....
We know... it's a bit of knock, but that's just the way it has to be.
Also, when accessing the new domain anyone who has edited their "hosts" file,
is asked to edit it back to the default settings, removing all references to torrentbytes.net and the IPs.
This means that in the new year, we will be looking for yet another logo,
which gives you all plenty of time to sharpen up those photoshop skills.
Secondly, New features are being added all the time, some work and others don't.
Yes, they've all been tested in development,
but there's nothing that can compare to 37,000 people and 700 torrents all hitting them at the same time,
to show up any bugs that may have been missed.
Thirdly, Continuing the coding theme, signups will open as soon as the new domain is open and DNS is updated,
and we are confident that the new features will stand up to the influx of new members.
The coders have been working really hard to make these things happen.
We know that progress has been slow, but we are hoping that things will happen a little faster from now on.
We, the staff would like to thank the coders for what they have done, and what they continue to do.
Thanks guys.
Next, It's a new year, a new domain, a new site, with new members,
so we believe that everyone deserves a new start.
All warnings and forum bans will be removed.
However, we expect everyone to follow the rules in the future.
We are also going to stop the trading, requesting and advertising of site invites in the forums.
We believe that this practice devalues the invite system that many sites operate.
Lastly, we the staff, would like to wish each and every one of you a very happy holiday season,
regardless of if or how you choose to worship or serve your God.
Let's all be a little more understanding and a little more tolerant of the other guy and his/her opinions,
at this time of year...
and maybe just a little bit of it will rub off into next year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours,
//Torrentbytes Staff
