BaconBits to shutdown after 12 years

BaconBits to shutdown after 12 years

Quote:

There is no easy way to say it, this site has been struggling since the great robot uprising nuked half our torrents. We've kept the lights on since then, but morale has been flagging, user and upload counts have never recovered, and developer bandwidth has been minimal. Many of us staff have moved on to focus on other things, and unfortunately the time has come when it's clear that life support is the best we'll be able to manage. We don't want you to remember us like this, but nonetheless it's time to pull the plug.

So after over a decade of torrenting pleasure, the time has come to say goodbye. In early May, baconBits will permanently shut down. Much love to everyone who's worked to make this possible over the years. From admins and devs to helpers and mods, uploaders, seeders and leechers alike, thank you all for everything you've done here.

In the meantime we've activated global freeleech so you can grab a copy of anything you'll miss.

Please feel free to share your favorite baconBits memories below, scream into the void, or just drop in to say hi one last time :)

(PS please do not offer money or services, we wouldn't be here if there were a succession plan we could get behind. We're not broke and we can't hand things over to random community members, although we appreciate the thought.)

BaconBits在线12年，即将关闭。

没有什么好说的，自从伟大的机器人起义消灭了我们一半的种子后，这个网站一直在挣扎。从那时起，我们一直保持着灯火通明，但士气一直在下降，用户和上传数量一直没有恢复，开发人员的带宽也很少。我们的许多工作人员已经转移到其他事情上，不幸的是，现在已经到了很明显的时间，生命支持是我们能够管理的最好的方式。我们不希望你记住我们这个样子，但尽管如此，现在是拔掉插头的时候了。

因此，在超过十年的洪流乐趣之后，现在是说再见的时候了。在五月初，baconBits将永久关闭。非常感谢多年来致力于实现这一目标的所有人。从管理员和开发员到帮助者和修改员、上传者、播种者和租赁者，感谢你们在这里所做的一切。

同时，我们已经激活了全站免费，所以你可以抓取任何你会错过的东西的副本。

请随时在下面分享你最喜欢的baconBits记忆，向虚空呐喊，或者只是顺便问候最后一次 :)

(PS 请不要提供金钱或服务，如果有一个我们可以支持的继承计划，我们就不会在这里了。我们没有破产，我们不能把事情交给随机的社区成员，虽然我们很感激你的想法）。

消息是BaconBits的官方公告。同时附带IRC的公告。
BaconBits无疑是个伟大的站点，作为在GZ综合站走得最远，种子质量把控非常认真，又异常低调的站点。

这无疑是PT界的重大损失。

Baconeers, we're pleased to announce that our rippy.rip channel is back! Come chat at irc.rippy.rip:6697, SSL only. Many of you have accounts from last time already, or you can join their #help channel or check their website if you need assistance.

Big thanks to Rippy for letting us hang out on their server - as their name implies their mission is to be a refuge for dead trackers.
