I ain't gonna make this a 'novel' .. so it'll be a short read.

Been in the warez scene for sometime now. My most successful warez forum was RapidW.Org. Early 2008, I sold it to another individual for $350. RapidW was still young back then (about 10K posts and 1K members).

He promised to leave the forum the way it was and I agreed to help him grow it. Over time, I grew to like RapidW for whatever it was and decided to stay with it, even though I had plans to quit the warez scene.

And today, coming back from a short trip, I see the domain has been pointed to a domain parking website. Meh, the domain's not mine, so I can't give a shit about what the original owner does.

Though he did make a stupid move. Keeping the forum and selling it a month later, he would of easily earned $1k+

RapidW was the only reason I would of stayed in the warez scene (not actively, though) and it's gone now. So, I'm quitting permanently.

The RapidW database/files have been dumped and made available freely for anyone to download and import and have a RapidW replica online in 10 mins :D

I'll also be giving away 2 or 3 domains I don't need anymore in the next week, so keep your eyes open :D

P.S: Just quitting the warez scene, not this forum... dUh! :D

If you're gonna try and sell it for measly bucks ($5, $10) you're nothing but a lowlife who literally begs for money and has no self-respect.

sorry to see you go lifetalk, glad to hear youll still be at these forums.

Me and my mate ACE will make sure that wareztech.net moves up the ladder.

cheers mate.
 
sad,

these forums cud hav grown to massive size communities if it cud survive 2-3yrs more.... rapidW had tht potential, same as maxW and a few others, whose owners either got hacked/quit/left warezscene... or just sold it for a measly buck.

its interesting to see how excited ppl get when their forum starts expanding/getting big, they have loads of future plans and promise to turn the site into the next warez-bb, lol. an then one day they quit and everything goes down the drain.

but ur case is a bit diff lifetalk, not saying these to you, just saying what I hav been observing for the past 2-3 years of my webmaster/non-webmaster warez life.
 
I think you should have given the site to a webmaster instead, I would have accepeted it just to keep the site alive. Im sure most people would have said yes.
 
I would have, but the domain/site was sold almost a year back. That was when I was under financial difficulties/pressure and needed the money.
And not most people would of said yes. Everyone would jump onto it :P

@JointRolla
There's about 3,000 users (50 or so above) on RapidW's database. The entire forum was open for guests and we never had any of those messages nagging users to register, thus the low registration rates.

@Crucify
Yep.. A friend was making me a new skin for it. Kinda kick-ass. I've seen his skins, and I know his potential. But... ah well. That's how things were meant to be.


@AK47
You were drunk last night. :P

@Whoo
vBulletin it is. 3.7.0

@Mod
Yep. Asked Katz to delete all submissions. It's been done

@Dotcom
Wish you best of luck with wareztech mate :)

@Phamous, Schulpi and others
Yeh... I'll be here! :D
