The recommendations from the site users were great. (1) An invite-only sub-section of the already invite-only site (2) complicated tiered membership (perhaps you can keep gaining access to smaller and smaller sub-sections until you're the only person in a sub-section, and the torrent list is just a mirror of the files on your hard drive?) (3) Russian IP ban (4) paid sub-section (5) access to the best files based on an "algorithm calculated from ratio, forum posts, time on the site and other sundry stats."
Hilarious. Give a nerd a speck of power and he's ready to torch the universe.

I have this problem as the admin of a torrent site that specializes in a specific sub-genre of video games. There’s some stuff that we absolutely REFUSE to let get out of the site because of its value and ability to be re-pirated for profit.
Videos go on YouTube, torrents go on Demonoid, mocking and disrespecting us for the things we do for them. “This is why we can’t have nice things,” I say. And then make another release blindly hoping it doesn’t happen again.
It always does though, it always does…
Can anyone think of a viable solution to this? I’d love to hear it.
"We absolutely REFUSE to let it out. Of course, it gets out :("
After reading that article, looking into that mirror, this admin did not see the scathing indictment of his whole way of life. Instead he saw kindred spirits and decided to reach out for public help. |
