Which is fucking retarded because when UGG did get shut down they had it posted ON THE HOME PAGE on how to get into the successor site. Literally all you had to do was hang around on the forum they told you to enter for about a year and get an invite making it possibly even easier to get shut down again. Really wish the admins would just realize that keeping this fight club tier shit is only causing progress of an actual revival to stagnate and that if someone really did wanna shut it down again they already could.

I'm fine with private trackers when they're mainly made as a form of quality control and to ensure something that wouldn't really get seeds on piratebay do have some but it's just absurd to have one of a very niche thing that requires complete community support and hearsay to be acting like a secret society in fear of getting shut down again when they made it piss easy to get in again in the first place. They had the perfect opportunity to come back with a bang but fucked it all up creating a site that's just a super duper secret emuparadise.

An actual successor to UG rather than a site that's getting so little support it's been on a sitewide freeleech for years. I really hope I get proved wrong in the future but right now I'm just disappointed in how the admins are too paranoid about it being shut down causing any progress to take forever.

At what cost did it take for TPB to stay up? I mean, they hunted the fuckers responsible for it's creation down all the way to Cambodia. Not every private tracker owner has the kind of resources to run something like that. It's not just about legal problems but also the cash it takes to keep the servers going. What's opsec obviously worked because no user data was seized. They stayed up for quite a long time. This took money and knowledge beyond what is accessible to your average private tracker owner. For most niche sites it's better to stay smaller and under the radar. This also means the people responsible for running them can have something that resembles a personal life rather than spending all their time trying to scale a fucking torrent tracker that they earn no fucking money off of.

You can complain about "secret club" mentality all you want but at the end of the day if you don't like it you need to stop bitching and do it better. If you're an expert on what the torrent site experience should be why haven't you cloned gazelle and got to work on it?

>>3703392
>For most niche sites it's better to stay smaller and under the radar.
Except that's completely pointless since ALL trackers have been infiltrated, both public and private. For private trackers it's never a matter of if but rather of when. Open trackers are much harder to take down since they can be easily cloned. Trackers never host any actual copyrighted content, they only host metadata.

BitTorrent was designed to be a decentralized protocol and the longest-lasting and most successful trackers have followed suit.

>You can complain about "secret club" mentality all you want but at the end of the day if you don't like it you need to stop bitching and do it better.
I'm not bitching, I'm pointing out that it's a fundamentally flawed concept and history backs me up on that.

>If you're an expert on what the torrent site experience should be why haven't you cloned gazelle and got to work on it?
There's zero need to. Anything Gazelle has is available elsewhere without needing an invitation or seed ratio rules.

You just like to think that your private tracker is somehow safe, when it's anything but.

It died but the user data wasn't seized. Nobody cares about Demonoid. It's a shit site and you would have a hard time selling an invite to it for a dollar. You can talk up garbage sites all you want based on pure longevity to make yourself feel better for being unable to climb the ladder but it fools nobody. It's great that the people behind these sites choose to risk their future so you can download YIFY rips. It means very little to anyone who has taken the time to get on sites that are worth a shit though.

You can spread all the FUD you want too. Everyone knows any torrent activity exposes the IP of the client. People who are on private trackers have seedboxes, VPNs, or at the very least simply don't care because they know they are far less likely to get DMCA'd when using private trackers. It happens occasionally. I saw it happen on Torrentleech about 5 years back. It's never happened to me because I have a seedbox.

Unless I do something stupid like upload pre release DVD screeners I wouldn't be aware or even need to care if these trackers are infiltrated by any government agency. Only the guys at the top need to worry about that.

I'm attempting to educate you on the reality of the situation. If you know about certain private trackers, what makes you think that copyright agencies and federal investigation agencies don't? They have access to far more information than you do.

The likelihood is similar for public and private trackers. If you truly desired privacy when pirating, you would be using Usenet and/or direct download websites.

By the way, RuTracker has been around for over 10 years and is doing exceptionally well. Imagine that, an open tracker that's alive and well while private trackers continue to make the same mistakes again and again.

You aren't going to get arrested for seeding the latest episodes of Game of Thrones either. At worst you'll get a copyright warning from your ISP, assuming they even send those out. Crackdowns are made against the trackers themselves, not seeders and leechers.

Right there you've proven you're an idiot. Scene groups don't release their work on torrent trackers, their work ends up on torrent trackers due to people who leak the content from elsewhere.

You claim to have been in several scene groups and yet you willingly choose to acquire what you pirate from private trackers instead of further upstream. Your claims are spurious at best.

Aside from that, if private trackers were truly superior to public ones, they wouldn't be constantly dying, now would they? RuTracker was just an example. There are a wide array of public trackers out there that have been running for longer than any private tracker, but I suppose that it's just a coincidence that torrent trackers without a single point of failure don't die.

>Pleasuredome is elitist as fuck though. You have to seed for WEEKS before even being able to SEE what's in the big torrents.

It's not a bad practice though, if you are incapable of seeding back a torrent, then you shouldn't be allowed to download it.

I guarantee there's nothing on the UG successor that you can't get elsewhere on the Internet. Actually, there's probably very little that was on UG that you can't find elsewhere too.

archive.org alone has tremendous amounts of /vr/ shit for the taking.

It was fantastic when it was alive though. It allowed you to download huge files without jumping through too many hoops. Files had a long life there. I downloaded many xvid dvdrips of movies just by googling the filenames and finding them on megaupload. That's not really a viable strategy anymore.

UG was the starting point of a lot of things though. Just an example but I had uploaded a very obscure Jap exclusive survival horror there that was nowhere to be even heard of on western internet, and suddenly afterwards everyone was talking about it and it was everywhere.

>>3705530
Except Pleasuredome is asking to seed for weeks BEFORE being able to even see what the big packs even have. That's treating people like babies, and the reward for putting up with that isn't even that good.

Funny how you pretend not to understand what I'm saying and all you have to say is "lol you probably don't seed". I'd be complaining about all public trackers if that was the case, not just pleasuredome, and I certainly wouldn't be defending UG.

Let me give you another example now.
I was looking for another specific Jap game.
There was a torrent on UG's successor but no seeders, so I filled a request.
Meanwhile, during an entire month I searched everywhere on the internet for that game, and I mean everywhere, even Jap sites, spent countless hours, etc

At the end I had just given up, when the original UG uploader of that torrent pack registered on the successor site and re-seed it after the request.
That thing was nowhere to be found except there. And it certainly wasn't "everywhere to be found" and definitely not on Pleasuredome "complete Jap packs".

Between the redump, trurip, and darkwater sets (all of which are available on pleasuredome), there's not really any jap Saturn games that aren't dumped.

You couldn't name a jap Saturn game I don't have on my hdd right now, that isn't some alt dupe, a demo cd, or shit like "sega Saturn internet vol.2".

Your torrents would still be alive.

Private trackers are cancer to the filesharing community. Whole reason BitTorrent exists and now dht exists, is so that it's impossible to take down any central source.

People just want to be in a secret club and we end up with massive catalogues of stuff disappearing.

Obscure shit like retro games are one of those things that really need to be on public trackers because they are so niche and a community will seed them so others enjoy the content.

Not everyone lives in a dumb country like America and have copyright laws that are sane.

You can use a VPN if you live in a dumb country. Seedboxes are just to whore ratio on private trackers.

Besides if we are taking about retro gaming there is little to no risk. It's not worth copyright holders time.

Most game trackers go down because people are uploading new shit which copyright holders do care about.

I don't even care about that, I'm actually genuinely interested in what was that uncommon Saturn title. Because there are a bunch that would fit the bill, like Rayman or Courier Crisis.

And if it's Scorcher, then I actually do want the copy that was posted there.

Maybe-Intro is a project dedicated to the preservation and cataloging of ROM hacks and especially the fan translations of video games.

>Maybe-Intro is inspired by the No-Intro project. They provide information to identify the good ROM images and eliminate the "garbage" (bad dumps, hacks, fakes, etc.). But there are some treasures among the garbage and the ROM hacking scene deserves to be preserved too. Maybe-Intro aims to testify the same care and love which are already given to the original video game media toward their amateur modification counterparts.

>The Maybe-Intro project intends to preserve the latest version of complete or almost complete fan translations and the best other types of ROM hacks. Thus are provided DAT files to identify the well patched ROM hacks and their original documentation thanks to a ROM manager. There is a DAT file per system and per language of translation and so for the hacks. The DAT files respect the following standardized convention.
