The SuprNova team is proud to relaunch this piece of Internet history and they let us know: “SuprNova has been down for some years due to some heavy pressure from the copyright lobby. The former owner sloncek donated SuprNova to The Pirate Bay – and as you know, we like to kick ass and bow for noone!”

The new and improved version of SuprNova will be a combination of old and new features. It will have a different look and feel, but it is clearly inspired by the old SuprNova design.

The first weeks after its launch will be used as a public beta test. This means that there will probably be some bugs and minor problems that need to be taken care of, but nothing too serious hopefully.

SuprNova crawls more than 25.000 trackers and has a huge database of more than 1.000.000 torrents with nearly 25.000.000 peers. This means that SuprNova will start where it left of, as one of the biggest BitTorrent indexing sites.

Last but not least, the SuprNova team has a strong message for the anti-pirates:

“This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet and the future.”

Y’arr! WAFFLES!

With well over 300.000 members, the old SuprNova forum(s) was one of the biggest online communities back in 2004. To give you an idea how big it was, Mininova’s forum now has 75,364 members, and TorrentSpy only 32,346, even though these sites have more visitors than SuprNova ever had.

Similar to the old SuprNova forums, SuprBay is hosted on a separate domain. It currently has some general sections, and because it is a joint operation, also sections related to TPB and SN specifically.

Brokep, one of the administrators of The Pirate Bay officially announced the opening of the forum a few minutes ago on the TPB blog. He further told TorrentFreak that SuprBay will have the same moderators for both sites. However, some will be more dedicated to The Bay and some to SuprNova.

Sloncek, the former owner of SuprNova told us earlier that he is looking forward to getting involved in the new community. He will not be working on Suprnova anymore, but he is one of the moderators at SuprBay.

In just a few days 647 members signed up at SuprBay, but this number is expected to grow bigger soon, a LOT bigger.
