many sites apply to a rule, lets better yet call it a law. a law that states once a site is dead it should remain dead. if something that was once good dies and then comes back to life it had already lost most of its prestige, and users no longer care as much for it and simply have moved on to bigger and better things. sharereactor was a miss, it had come online and offline numerous times and still today it sits there broken. shareconnector also came back online, but it also didn’t have much hype about its return. if one takes a look on its poll whether shareconnector should return, 60.01% (875) had voted no, while only 39.99% (583) voted yes. along with the death of lord_anubis shareconnector will no longer be as great as it once was.

lets face it, sharereactor was a great site, when it fell, shareconnector became great, then after its fall, things dispersed a bit and if to rank all the sites they all came close, but ed2k-it stood out the most, after its run it was the last major ed2k site to fall, then came bittorrent and then with its losses. tell me, is suprnova great as it was in the old days? no its not, its just a news site now.
