Demonoid To Be Resurrected Under New Admin

Written by enigmax on April 11, 2008 

Deimos, the administrator of Demonoid has announced that he is stepping down for good due to his preoccupation with ‘real-life’ issues. For those tearing their hair out with dismay, you can stop now. The site will be resurrected under a trusted new admin and Deimos is asking the community to give him support.

Ever since Demonoid had to leave Canada, there has been speculation about the future of the site. Although the tracker has been returning periodically from various places - the latest being Ukraine - no solid news has been coming out about a proper comeback. Deimos, the Demonoid admin, has been very quiet - until now, that is.

In a message on the SubDemon forums, Deimos breaks his silence:

Hello Everyone,

It is with great sadness (and not a little relief) that I announce that I will be stepping down as admin of Demonoid, with effect from today.

Demonoid is currently suffering from a number of things, prime amongst these being my distraction with real-world issues, and so I have handed the reins over to a new administrator - a close friend of mine, which I trust completely and has the knowledge and time to take care of the site.

He will, in due course, be making his own announcements about the future of Demonoid. Of course, speculation over the future of the site is fun, but it is ultimately fruitless - you will all, in the near future, become aware of what the future holds. I trust that you will all give your support to the new admin as he finds his feet while he resurrects Demonoid.

Thanks again for your support in making Demonoid what it was and is.
Goodbye and good wishes - it has been a blast!

- Deimos

It’s great news for the BitTorrent community that the future of Demonoid is in trusted hands and for some, quite a surprise after such a long wait. But it just might be worth it if one of the world’s most popular trackers does indeed come back with a bang.

Update: The Demonoid RSS feeds started to work again.

[quote comment="341525"]you guys dont remember lokitorrent that sold out for $1M to the MPAA?

the MPAA ran lokitorrent for 3 months until LD at http://www.h33t.com outed them by reporting the change of ownership on demonoid. immediately the MPAA close lokitorrent because of fears of allegations of unlawful practices in the USA

the filesharing logs from lokitorrent were used to prosecute 10,000’s of filesharers in the USA and were the basis for the current multi-million dollar extortion racket in the US where pseudo-law firms send letters to filesharers demanding $20,000 or go to court with costs estimated at $250,000

DEMONOID is owned by the MAFIAA

DEMONOID is a trap

please wake up people do not fall into the corporate trap. they are making 100’s of millions of dollars/year threatening petty filesharers in the USA with pay $20,000 now or face $250,000 in legal fees tomorrow

DEMONOID is MAFIAA[/quote]

Meh…I don’t live in the US! Long live demonoid and filesharing!
