big deal, so what. what difference does it make? it doesnt. ever since ed2k-it (with the original administrators) first closed its doors it lost a lot of support users. when it did re-open its doors under new management many were wary while others simply refused to use it, stating that it was some sort of conspiracy or that it was run secretly by the MPAA or other organization to attempt and stamp out the users by suing them. and with ed2k-it still being sued, we dont know the outcome of the trial and what if its to hand over all the records of its users and such forth? well whoever had used it would really be in serious trouble. the original administrator (who was the first to close its doors) had destroyed the whole user database, all that was preserved was the site structure itself not the users or ip logs.
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.
