why not upload all torrents on the pirate bay ([BEEEP]) under the same user and then link to that user on PTB from here?

Pirate Bay is evil. I would hope that the powers that be are smart enough to stay as far away from that organization as possible.

* Abandonia doesn't deal in warez.
* TPB does. Indiscriminately. Also in porn and other kinds of sh*t we don't want to be related to.
* Getting ourselves connected to warez = ESA shuts us down = bye, bye Abandonia. Like, forever. And it would ruin our public image.
* That would not be the end... all staff members would likely be sued, and it's quite possible some charges would stick to all registered users.

I hope that makes things clear.

Default Interest in a tracker?

Apologies if I shouldn't comment in this thread because of the age of its last post, but this seemed like as good a place as any.

If there's still any interest in running a moderated/closed tracker specifically for Abandonia (and large files like game ISOs), I'd love to chip in with both the knowhow and server resources. Who should I talk to about this? Or am I barking up a tree that nobody wants barked up?

Gotcha--sounds like things are already taken care of, then. (But if anyone thinks running a tracker would provide any advantages, my offer still stands.)
