Not at all. My buddies in the hub tell me. I am hopeful that the numbers will increase as they diversify the music that is shared there. Some outstanding people running that tracker, and I wish them nothing but the best, in the wake of what has happened at HungerCity.

You were banned too? After all you do for them? That sucks. Try donating here, because we are nice. :thumbsup Maybe a donation to TTD is in order so this thread can continue to bring so much joy here.

http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/donations.php?

Running costs this month: $149.99
User contributions this month: $62.11
($65.00 - $2.89 PayPal fees)
We have not reached our goal for the last three months.
So, if you could help, it would be very much appreciated.
Last month we had $60 in contributions.

I think this thread should be changed to "What's with trackers banning their best members?". Man, I can't believe HC would ban you. You are one of the best and most prolific uploaders of original source content. I think if HC does ever come back, I will lead the campaign to have you reinstated as an uploader. Sometimes I think folks who run other trackers don't always make the best decisions. Thank goodness ElectricLadyland has the clarity of judgement not to ban you. You are a true asset to their future success. You are one of the elite uploaders on that team.

My best wishes to you and yours during this joyous holiday season. Have a happy, healthy, and safe one. :)

Holidays? damn man you can make excuses for all the upcoming holidays as to why you're not back up yet



X-Mas - Santa though the server was a chimney and attempyed to come down it
New Years - hungover - we'll work on it soon
MLK Day - darn box is shot
Groundhog Day - saw his shadow- 6 more weeks of excuses
Presidents Day - I can not tell a lie -- well I can but who'll believe me now?
St Patty's - woops! we spilled green beer on the box

Easter - finally the Site is resurrected - only to be called home to heaven after 3 days

Trusted for what? To pay your Bills? Shovel your driveway?

I just want the downloads that they offered. No tracker has yet replaced the exceptional content that was offered there. :thumbsup

I only donate to one tracker.... :whistle:

You keep mentioning the excellent content offered there.

Is there a reason why that same content cannot be uploaded here, there or anywhere else?

vladsmythe
2013-12-11, 04:45 PM
I see no reason other than the folks who uploaded there have not been doing it at other sites. I am primarily interested in video, and thus far, I have seen very little classic TV, BBC, or niche video pop up as it did so regularly at HC. ElectricLadyland is primarily Dylan, Stones and Van Morrison, brought over by the defecting HC staff, but where is the cool video?

I have a ton more uncirculated vids to upload, but I'm always looking for Jazz, Beatles, The Who, and obscure video. HC was a great resource.

There are always more compilations coming out,
like the TMOQ gazette's from hmc.
Granted you would be hard pressed to find much new material on them,
though the most recent 'take it off' is said to contain
previously uncirculated takes.

With the demise of demonoid, these haven't found a home either.

I can tell you, Dylan content does not seem appreciated at a certain site. In fact, it's complained about.

Hungercity.com is not the Hungercity that you are supposed to believe is down, and the topic of this thread "What's with Hungercity again?"

"Is www.Hungercity.org down today for everyone or is it just not working for me?
www.Hungercity.org is up!
It seems that www.Hungercity.org is only down and not working for you right now!

Our research shows www.Hungercity.org is currently in the UP status after conducting a real time search. At the moment it seems www.Hungercity.org is only down for you. Be sure to check your DNS settings or refresh your browser cache and try www.Hungercity.org again.

Additional research information and status history for www.Hungercity.org is provided below for your reference. For example, www.Hungercity.org was down 0 times out of 1,001 checks. This is a 0% downtime ratio based on past history.

For your immediate notice, www.Hungercity.org was last checked on 01/06/2014 17:19 and you may want to consider checking it again."

You can buy thehcforum.com, but you can't buy www.Hungercity.org
"thehcforum.com is parked for FREE, courtesy of GoDaddy.com
The domain name expired on 25/11/2013 and is pending renewal or deletion."
Source: http://thehcforum.com/?hg=0&nr=0

As I wrote in my first post, the day I found a link to this thread in a Google search for HungerCity:
HungerCity has not been down at all, at least not in 2013!!!
We have been lied to again and again and been redirected from www.Hungercity.org to a temporary location under a different URL
It used to be http://thehcforum.com/hungercity/lastchance.html and later http://thehcforum.com/hc/lastchance.html
The previous temporary location was http://www.hungerflux.org/area51/hc/newbegining.html, now we are redirected to http://hungercity.zokahost.com

If you don't believe it, prove me wrong!!! Post links or any other documentation we can verify.
Everything I have told you is the truth.
I have have posted the links so people could verify my information, and I have no reason to lie, and no reason to change the story.

It has probably not been down at all since 2008, but I don't have any evidence.
Here is a scan of the first time I checked www.Hungercity.org on DownForMe.org, the date: 09/24/2013 01:47 and it was UP! And it has been up every time it was checked since then.

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth

He has current hosting and uses it to post messages about needing to fix "the server" every few weeks.

If it wasn't coming back, why would he maintain the update charade with no donations in the meantime?

The new "hungerflux" announcement is shameful and embarrassing. How far that sites's fallen....

We were wrong: "Donations help both you & Hunger City"

I thought Shareef was only into helping himself, but all along he's been looking out for us! Because the donations help You.

Side note: if you're click the donation button, it leads to a WePay processing page where you'll be informed that $20 is the suggested donation. Of course, you could give more if you wish. However, when I typed "rat's ass" as the amount I wished to give, WePay refused to process my donation. Apparently it is an "invalid amount," which really sux because I so hoped to help myself with that donation.

I'm guessing he will need to be collecting for two months now.... It's starting to remind me of the Steve Miller song " Take The Money And Run". Very sad indeed for those that gave funds when it went down last time.

He switched the url to this:

http://www.hungerflux.org/area51/hc/newbegining.html

On Jan 3 he promised to have the site up and running the following week. That's the last notice posted.

Since then, <crickets>.

Is this an issue still? Really? The rats jumped ship and started their own site, and everyone else has much bigger fish to fry. I'm seeing the BBC stuff showing up at dime. Hopefully The Traders Den will absorb some of the dedication of the uploaders who brought such eclectic stuff to HC over the years. Nature will run it's course. If nothing else, I hope this thread serves to let those great uploaders know they have a home here.

Long time HC member here. I never had cause to complain about Shareef or any other HC mod so it's sad to read this thread. I shared stuff on HC that for various reasons wouldn't be allowed on Dime or TTD. I'd still have much to share but I refuse to go the Pirate Bay route.

I'm glad that I wasn't being so cynical those last couple of years at Hunger City where I started to smell a rat. I mean, donations being appreciated is one thing, but "this site will close down imminently if you don't donate" started to feel like it was just a scam, I mean, how do I know he hasn't got heaps of money past the required amount?

Come here find lots of people were thinking the same thing. Oh well, I deleted all my HC torrents a few months back anyway. (not the files of course)

I feel the same way Dan. The PM's every month, sometimes two or three in a row were pretty disgusting. Other sites are up front with the message and let you know they need the monthly donation, but at least the funds and costs are transparent. The Trader's Den never grovels for money, and only once since I have joined have I noticed a highlight on the donation tab indicating a critical need. So for anyone to see the grace with which this place goes about paying the bills, here is a link. It spells out the details in real time, without even a hint of pressure. http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/donations.php?
The place needs a few bucks, but no worries. The bills get paid silently.
Note to self: Send $20 bucks on Monday.

Has anyone with a valid ST membership tried to log on to the above link? Earlier discussion in this thread talks about a invite only tracker that HC ran with the initials "ST", and when I click on this link, I get a tab icon that is like the one I used to get when connected to hungercity, but now it says "ST" instead of "HC".

Shareef was talking about making the site invite only, maybe it's the old invite only tracker that's been revived, just curious.

Nothing to do with the defunct music-sharing site of the same name - probably the URL became available again and a new crowd (of Spanish foodies) adopted it. I somehow doubt we will be hearing from the original HungerCity again......:lmao:
