Odd. My reply to you has disappeared overnight. Awaiting moderation, or modded from existence? Time will tell, I guess. Seems rather unlike TF to do that sort of thing.

Looking back, I’m sure you’re absolutely correct on both counts, digger.

As I’m sure everyone now knows, the whole pathetic ruse was just a mass culling; one they couldn’t justify while continuing to assert that the site rules they so frequently hammered actually meant something

For anyone that took the public statements at face value (those operating under the erroneous assumption that thebox leadership behave like adults), scroll about halfway down the page for the real story…. part of it, at least…

No I very much doubt its that Sqzbxr idiot masquerading as R.E.B., that guy is a complete prick, but doesn’t have the mental capacity to come up with something as clever as an alter-ego that’s trying to subvert the downloading masses.

If there is a replacement site then I can see why you wouldn’t have been invited. I was a member of thebox and I seriously doubt you were one of their major contributors.

Missing the bigger issue here: if BBC and ITV and the rest provided the inexpensive service that people needed, there would be no need for pirates.
Wake the fuck up, broadcasters: you’ve got a market – just not for £60 a boxed set!

Good Riddance! The Boxbz was run by a “Control Freak”. It imposed more restrictions, penalties and a download for points system that you will never find anywhere else….EXCEPT on the UK Chaos website which I strongly suspect is operated by the same freak. The programing is ancient. The real tragedy and truth is that the British are “PISS POOR” at providing a first class torrent for their programming.
It is really disgraceful but oh so typically British!

I used The Box for years, major uploader and donator. TBH, the admins were a right bunch of arse holes to deal with. Power hungry and no common sense. Shouldnt take long for London Police to look at http://zxcv.fm/login.php
