Just out of curiosity, who pays that? Does Lynne pay the whole bill? Do admins/mods contribute? Do some users contribute? Hunger City is always asking for contributions but I've never seen any requests here.

Re: What's with Hungercity again?
Contributions are always appreciated, and recognized by the staff here. The tracker is always appreciated, and recognized by those who are able to feed the beast, with money, fresh content, or other kind deeds.
Great job by the staff here as usual! ...always willing to help out. ![]()

Right now, the brownish-red color I see is bleeding into the grey background to the point that I can't really read the word anymore! I would go with a slightly brighter shade of red or something - ANYTHING else (almost!) haha BTW, thanks, folks, for doing what you do here! Now, let's hope Shareef can get the help he needs. I don't go to HC very often, but it would kinda suck to lose another torrent site! Does he know that there *might* be cheaper alternatives for servers than what they've got? I wonder if reaching out with some money-saving info for them is something worth doing?

Re: What's with Hungercity again?
I wonder how much of the money they need is because of the re-connection charges? I haven't visited their site in years. With TTD, DIME, & bt.etree who really needs it?

I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count. ![]() BTW - HC's "private" tracker "sacredtown" for special HC VIPs is also defunct. I'm gonna miss the Dylan videos and the nice BBC vids, but I agree - Plenty out there to fill the void. Karma points not valid at other trackers..... ![]()

They have a lot of European stuff that the others don't have.

Re: What's with Hungercity again?
Ditto
If someones musical tastes haven't exposed the holes that HC fills in what dime, bt.etree and ttd offer, than likely HC's loss won't affect you much. If HC doesn't return, some may find that planetrock fills some of the same holes, but has less activity. No members have liked this post.

Re: What's with Hungercity again?
off topic, but what tracker have you found that has a "good" search engine? To me, that does seem to be a common problem with the trackers I've experienced.
