Most of the people who read my blog are frequent readers of file sharing news. But in case anyone of you somehow missed it: we’re going to relaunch the site Suprnova.org.
SuprNova used to be the biggest torrent site there was. It used to be the beacon of the file sharers. It was shut down by the former admin Sloncek when the pressure got too high. The MPAA and RIAA had their biggest file sharing victory ever with the closing of SuprNova.
Now, a couple of years later, we felt it was high time to get the site back up. We talked to Sloncek and he gave us the domain and the old graphics and so on that he had so we could rebuild the site. It will not be competing directly with TPB - they will complement eachother. They will be the best of friends! When the site is up you can all see the differences. SN is an search index, TPB is a tracker with own content posted on the site. It’s higher quality of information on TPB and on SN there will be more content. There is over 1 million torrents on SN already.
To join forces also means we’ve set up a forum for both sites. TPB has been missing a good forum for ages and we decided it would be a time saving idea to have a joint forum. SuprBay is the cooperations name so the forum is at SuprBay.org.
So a small FAQ instead of emailing out these answers to everybody:
* No, we did not BUY the domain. Sloncek gave us the domain to put SuprNova up again.
* No, we will not run a separate tracker for SuprNova. We already have The Pirate Bay system and it’s just not smart for us to put up another.
* Yes, the site will be ready very soon, probably within a week.
* Yes, we can run a lot of projects at the same time, although we’re not that many people. We do need more designers that knows AJAX/XHTML as well as they know photoshop.
* Yes, I do take applications for the position as my girlfriend if you’re hot enough!
More information will be out later, right now we’re coding the last parts of the site.
