ISOHunt - Initiating Self Destruct

[MR.KiDO]

This is it. We are shutting down isoHunt services a little early. I'm told there was this Internet archival team that wants to make historical copy of our .torrent files, I'm honoured that people think our site is worthy of historical preservation. But the truth is about 95% of those .torrent files can be found off Google regardless and mostly have been indexed from other BitTorrent sites in the first place. So I might as well do a proper send-off to you dear isoHunt users, before final shutdown sequence on Tuesday. It's been an adventure in the last 10.5 years working on isoHunt, a privilege working with some of the smartest guys I've worked with, and my life won't be the same without this journey. For what I'm working on next, please look up my blog on Google and follow me there. Because as the Terminator would say with a German accent,

Were in the process of backing up the systems and will be saving it locally...

The court fees were building up even tho canada courts deemed isohunt legal, the constant litigations made the owner not want to continue..

I was lucky to be a system admin for isohunt.

So sad isohunt was such a great site i switched to it when mininova went legal. Can't wait to see what else gary fung has up his sleeve for his next project.

You were a sysadmin for them loony ? if so dude that's awesome.
