Zomb torrents status update

[Deadmarsh]

Hey all!

REGISTRATION AND PASSWORD RECOVERY SHOULD WORK AGAIN (2023-07-27)

Some folks were wondering what is the status of Zomb Torrents in the TTD closing announcement thread so here is an update on it.



1) It appears registration confirmation emails have not been actually sent since March 2022. Or they are very efficiently getting blocked. I think it's the former, but it's just my guess based on when the last login of a new account was.

2) Max user count was reached in June 2022 without anyone noticing.

3) Password recovery might not work at all at this time.

I have posted in Zomb staff forums some days ago about the situation, but I have received no replies. In the end it depends on the site owner if they want to do anything at all to fix things



But to somewhat better news....

1) I wrote a browser script to delete few older pending accounts in small batches so there is now some room to register. For now I'll do this manually once a day when I notice max user count approaching again.

2) I will once a day manually enable all pending accounts created during and after September 2022. I will usually do this during the evening hours (GMT+2).

3) If you really need to access your old account PM me here with your account name (also need to figure some other place for this if TTD goes away, any suggestions?) and I will manually reset the password. This means I will generate a random 30 character password and insert it as the account password and email it to the email address linked to the Zomb account. I will not store it anywhere and I will see all your (very limited) info anyway since I'm an admin. I'll do this also once a day, if I the have time.



TL;DR;

1) You can register -> Zomb Torrents.
2) Wait anywhere from approx 1-30 hours for me to manually enable accounts before trying to login.
3) PM Deadmarsh at TTD if you need to reset password and wait for an email from me (again anywhere from approx 1-30 hours).



This all is obviously not an ideal solution, but better than nothing

How is there a max user amount? Who does something like that?

Dime has a max user amount too, or at least it did. Seems to have been common back in the day when most of these trackers were launched. I can only guess the reasons behind it.

Thank you for the update. I was finally able to get registered earlier today but definitely haven't received the confirmation like you said has been happening. It's not even in spam. Will check to see if I can login tomorrow sometime.

You can try now if you want to. I have been checking for pending accounts more frequently today.

I'm all good thanks!

LMAO, doesn't even occur to people--who of course do not stop to thank Deadmarsh for helping the Den demise drag with his personal unpaid evening time--that too many users can break a site and then all the weenies come out whining that everything in life isn't delivered for free on a golden platter just like magic all the time forever.

Start your own tracker Captain Crapthread--with infinite magical scaling--and report back to us how so easy and free it all is.

Thank you Deadmarsh, very very much, for being positive and of service to music friends and neighbors.

Thanks mate, registered

it is many many years, since I last was on this ZOMB site.
Just tried it and my old account still works, I can lock in :-)

Bump,

Registration and password recovery emails should be working again. Welcome or welcome back if this has been blocking you. User limit has also been increased significantly.

Thanks it works.
