    Hello, New Owner

    Hi Guys,

    Some of you will know me and some will not. I was staff at UTC back in the day and then a mod @ P2PC for a while before I dropped off the P2P scene all together.

    I came back a few years later and it has died an almighty death. So I set out to check out what I could do with some of my old haunts.

    I bought UTC at the end of November this year with plans to rebuild it. It's going well so far.

    I had my eye on this place as it's dropped off the mark also. I was watching p2pforums.com since I took over UTC and then all of a sudden it went offline a few days ago..

    Anyway, I got in touch with Scythe and he said he has a lot of other projects going on right now and had to down the site as it was hogging the server.

    So, if you haven't guessed it already, I bought the site and we had it transferred to my server in a few hours, which rocked. Big Thanks to Scythe for being superfast with this.

    So who all is active around here? There are going to be some changes made soon.

    ~PB

    Re: Hello, New Owner

    Hey there, I was a semi-regular user (wasn't big into the P2P scene as it were, I just needed occasional help). I reckon I can say that this site is pretty much a ghost town, and it has been since like the beginning of '08 - massive increase in spammers (which has since mostly been taken care of), coupled with a number of members disappearing off the face of the earth has resulted in little activity on this site.

    Maybe the community can be revitalised with some new management and remodeling - not saying that the old leadership was bad or anything

    Hi kenan,

    I know what you mean. I've seen many great sites go down... Such a shame!

    Maybe we can see who's still interested in this topic?

    Re: Hello, New Owner

    I smelt something in the air just since few weeks :

    http://www.p2pconsortium.com/index.php? ... &start=220

    Where are everyone ?

    It's time to re unite the cows really...

    I would like to see the old good times a great p2p community under only one stand .

    Unite your sites in one .

    Re: Hello, New Owner

    There is always the option to merge the sites.

    However I first want to see how alive this forum can become. It gets a lot of traffic...

    Re: Hello, New Owner

    Then let's see with a merge with unitethecows how the traffic will be .
    Also a fusion with p2pconsortium would help to run on a big wave then compete with slyck and zeropaid .

    Re: Hello, New Owner

    I doubt a merge with P2PConsortium would be likely. They have a great community there though. I guess, never say never right?

    Ha funny you mentioned P2PForums went down over at P2PC. I've only seen your post over there now. Are you physic?

    If P2PF and UTC merged the stats would be something along the lines of..

    Thats a big site and a nice competitor for Slyck. J/K

    I will say that a merge has crossed my mind a few times, however, both sites have different potential. I want to see each on their own before taking a hacksaw to the databases.

    Merges can be bad too!

    That would definitely be one massive database.

    I'm still active. But not as a poster. I'll try to post more often and see if other people also start doing so.
