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.

“LD: of h33t.com says”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

I trust LD not to lie. He is a dedicated site admin who really believes in file sharing not just as a fun thing, but as a world changing cause for freedom of information and benefit especially to the poorer citizens of Earth. Now honesty and being correct in your facts and reasoning are not always the same I must confess. I can’t speak of my own knowledge. I do know that h33t .com is a safe, fast growing, friendly community with a tracker that blocks the bad guys,. Is it as big as demonoid was? No. About 17,0000 torrents right now. Neither is demonoid. Demonoid will have to rebuild. New Demonoid is Demonoid in name only. Why take the chance? h33t is safer than demonoid ever was. The MPAA and RIAA ARE out to get you, those are demonstrable facts.

Nothing ever approached Demonoid. Class y torrents always. I upped on the first day. Hey, take my IP address and shove it up ya arse. Demonoid is back.

Demonoid was & is the number one site (other then http://www.themixingbowl.org for musik). loads of torrents are only on Demonoid & you always know what your getting. however you dont need to be a member to download from there, also i agree it is free leech heaven.

Hmmmm..been d/l-ing for a couple days and seeding pretty good yet my ratio stays unchanged. It’s the same as it was in Niv. when Demonoid went down.

208 Apr 17, 2008 at 17:17 by somewhere in Canada

just received email from “GateKeeper” at Demonoid.com saying they’re up and running.

209 Apr 17, 2008 at 18:56 by notprivate

Demonoid was never private. The tracker was always public. While open enrollment to the _WEBSITE_ was limited, I think this only added to the quality of the torrents. I love TPB, but the quality was muuuch better on demonoid.

210 Apr 18, 2008 at 07:59 by HAHAHAHA

Listen up dumb biatches and bastages..

It’s so damn funny to watch the utter spam going on from other sites saying demonoid is a trap and whatnot.. maybe it is, maybe it’s not.. but how about you other site admins and minions shut the fuck up.

97% of all email is spam, do we really need 97% of all comments being spam as well?

Time will tell if Demoniod is REALLY back, in the meantime, if your LEETA$$FKNTORRENTSITE is the bomb, you will do well, if not then cya.

Final thought…. shut your pie hole until you have something interesting to say.

[quote comment="341530"][quote comment="341522"]Note to everyone: demonoid.cc is not a new domain, they had it a while ago as a backup.[/quote]

why they need a backup?

because there was a power struggle in the sale of the .com domain and somebody thought he could take the db to a new .cc domain[/quote]

[quote comment="341420"]www.demonoid.cc 62.149.24.66 is online hosted in Ukraine

who the fuk are these guys and what is with the new domain name?[/quote]

You are such dumbasses. The .cc was the domain registered to give Canadian users a workaround when Demonoid disallowed users from Canada. So much 4 u being a knowlegeable admin, Mr h33t! lol

[quote comment="341525"]the MPAA ran lokitorrent for 3 months until LD at http://www.h33t.com outed them by reporting the change of ownership on demonoid.

DEMONOID is owned by the MAFIAA

DEMONOID is a trap

DEMONOID is MAFIAA[/quote]

Fuk u, your lies & FUD, lacadick. Ooops, I mean lacadaemon (h33t admin). Only a true dickwad would believe that bull

Its so obvious that half the posts here are from lacadick using his own site name and a whole bunch of other aliases. Notice how there is h33t.com this and h33t.com that. Not one other site admin posted here. Prolly cos they aren’t starved for members! FFS, we weren’t born yesterday. Go fuk yrslf with yr new member recruiting & uncalled for biased site-bashing bullshit

212 Apr 19, 2008 at 07:05 by spideygeek

I really really notice a shitload of H33T torrents on Demonoid. Why would that be?????

213 Apr 20, 2008 at 08:28 by i can see thru your BS, Mr h33t

eXactly. They bash Demonoid but spread their torrents there to get members. What hypocrisy. And lacadick knows it…

214 Apr 20, 2008 at 16:36 by Keen observation

YAY! Just what I was looking for!!!

Another demonoid-bashing and proverbial h33t blowjob thread.

Your attempts at converting Demonoid.com users to f33t.com users is pointless, useless, and just plain pathetic.

If you’re THAT desperate for members, how about making your site better, rather than spew retarded comments.

Now that demonoid is back, guess where all your members will be returning. You had a good run, but sorry, no one has loyalty to you.
