Demonoid To Be Resurrected Under New Admin
Written by enigmax on April 11, 2008Deimos, 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.

To be honest I have to agree with you tabsman
http://www.h33t.com/ Has been and is an education
Long may they live
Set firewall
intusion prev.
tcp udp port range 49152 through 65535
for your bt client
personal firewall
do the same for port that you use
A guide to do this is at portfoward.com under firewall
Also use Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 Doing these things should go a long way to keep Anti p2p off
Bitching will get you no where.
Sharing is what it’s all about.
Leeching is part of the equation. Who wants to deal with ratios that are unrealistic. If the admins at Oink weren’t such a pain in the ass, it would have been a pleasure to use.
Demonoid is a community. It’s a pleasure to be part of a group who are open to making things better for all of us.
As today the site is open and ratios and everything is as it was before.I love this site.Demonoid simply the best.
[quote comment="341380"][quote comment="341285"]goodbye Deimos and thanks for the ride
for all the guys like myself who were there from day 1 on Demonoid it genuinely hurts to see this happen today. when you grow up with a site admin you know who he is, what he does, why he does it. Deimos was trusted
the most recent history of Demonoid has been chaotic and full of confusion and uncertainty. Demonoid has not been acting in the interests of members, Demonoid has been busy with its own business. the people who watch that business indicate a difficult negotiation and handover after a sale
none of us knows this new admin. Deimos selling the site has to say “a new administrator - a close friend of mine” because the site would be worthless if he did not. after all the strange jumps of the past year, who do you trust?
i will be watching, along with others, and we will out the new owners. we already know who was interested to buy, only now we need the evidence. what is interesting is that they have gone so far to place the servers out of MAFIAA reach in an attempt to dodge confrontations with MAFIAA country organisations e.g. CRIAA, when it was not necessary
one thing torrent site operators can do is attempt to rent a server from the ISP hosting the Demonoid boxes. go try it and see what happens
keep very aware of the huge profits available in the USA from tracking filesharers and sending the $20,000 cease and desist and pay up or go to court letters. it is a multi-million dollar business
everything about the letter from Deimos and everything surrounding events stinks of corporate action and activity
warning: they have all your logs. do NOT login to the new Demonoid with your old nickname. if you must then re-register and use a proxy. you have been warned
DO USE sites with communities in a relationship with their operators. do use sites you can trust

First of all, h33t sucks big time. Nothing more aggravating than once a week getting a PM demanding donations because “We can’t pay the servers & our bill is due”. Excuse me but what bill is due once a week? Second of all, it seems to me your real concern is fear of the competition coming back. If Deimos was going to sell us users out for a price, he would have done so long a go when the site first went down. not now months upon months later when half the members have already gone elsewhere.[/quote]
and i should gamble my ass on your rocket science assumption that Demonoid is ok ?
If h33t was so bad about money , how much did you get suckered out of before leaving ?
or did you get banned for not donating ?
file sharing is a gamble , i want to go with a winner who represents my best interests http://www.h33t.com
Smells fishy to me, a good time to be paranoid. All my torrents get posted on h33t…. yay comics!
Free Invites to Demonoid.com:

I wouldn’t be going there i don’t trust it. I have since found a better place to be h33t.com come and join this fantastic place
Nice to see Demonoid back after quite a long time. Guys we need to support as and when we could, let be financialy or morally so that we keep it runing.
I wish our old and new Admin all the best for their future endeavors.
