FIRST!

I still can't believe that WCD shut down... It was like the library of Alexandria for music.

I can't really begin to explain how much of a loss this is.
This was the biggest digital repository of music the world has ever seen. Spotify, iTunes, even Oink in its prime were kittens to what what.cd built.
I made this analogy in another thread, but it was the digital library of Alexandria for music.
It inspired me to learn about audio engineering, learn how to program, and most importantly, introduced me to music that changed me in ways I can't even begin to put into one tiny little box.
I was a part of the community for almost ten years. And it's a part of my life I'm going to have to look back on fondly.
And I don't regret a second of it.
EDIT: I know I'm the top comment in the memorial thread right now, so I'll ask. If anyone has any idea where the merch is, or can potentially get me more what merch, let me know. I just want a memento or two that's not a digital file.
EDIT: Also, greatest greatest comment of my life, written on my alt. I'd give the gold to the what staff if I could. I'll never be the same person because of the community they built and protected.

This!

All generals go to where the generals play
which is the board where they all stay
for no generals are allowed outside of this place
for a global rule does declare that this is their base
you wanted generals, and here they lay
a hundred pages for you to play!
you get to be friends with every general on Sup Forums all at once!
don't like what your neighbors post? well have some patience!
You could try a filter or two, but really this is nothing new
that we have wanted for a very long time for generals to stop interfering with our pastime
Not everyone uses the catalog! And those who do quickly run into a fog
of previous edition and the same old pastebin links
a few replies toward the flavor of the day's kinks and hijinx!
A chatroom thread that never ends, well that's not how imageboards work best my friend
but I see this place is important to you and your friends
so we have set up a place where your conversation never ends
Go on! Be merry! Link your friends to your new general playplace!
As long of the OP of another one of your editions forever stays out of my face

Nothing lasts forever.

It's a sentiment we're taught from an early age, a maxim that grows to becomes a belief, a belief many times proven to be fact.

Change is never-ending, the world does not stop, life does not stop, and change comes for us all. It is with a feeling of joy, a great amount of pride, and a greater sense of sadness that we, Unclesalty and Voltaire, announce our retirement.

While all things change, not all changes are for the worst. In the years that we've been fortunate enough to steward PTP, we've overseen a multitude of positive changes. We've been amazed to watch how the community has grown, and awed by how the community has evolved. We've seen everyone band together to drastically improve retention, and we've implemented policies that have set a standard for quality control while finding a balance with inclusivity and availability of rare films. We've learned hard lessons, and passed those lessons on to an amazing group of staff members, a group who are among the most professional currently working in the torrent community. Above all else, we've seen the unbridled determination of our community, from the newest members to the most grizzled legends, and how their tenacity has built the largest digital archive of film this world has ever known. PTP's archive holds 8 times as many movies as Amazon Prime, and a staggering 32 times more than Netflix. The world may never know a larger and more accessible archive.

But this site is more than just an archive. Over and over again we've been inspired by how the staff and community have come together to bring this site back from the brink of extinction. We've weathered some of the most brutal attacks the tracker world has ever seen, in many cases the first of their kind, and watched some truly miraculous things transpire. Throughout all the struggles, all the times PTP came close to death, we never lost sight of the deep and passionate love that this community holds for PTP. You guys are simply incredible. We want you to know that, and to know that you are what kept us fighting, you are why the doors never shuttered for good.

We spent years pouring our hearts into this place, working 80+ hour weeks when needed. While PTP has thrived and grown, our own lives have grown along side it. Our jobs have grown into intensive careers, our relationships have grown to become families with children of our own, and the demands on our time have inevitably shifted focus. While we still love this place to death, we can no longer make the commitments that PTP requires, and deserves. So, it is time to hand the reigns over to those who can.

We have worked closely with all of our staff to develop teams and to cultivate leaders within those teams. Alamak, Doubt, Forseti, Nuked, Meadow, and Machenic will work together with paperk to guide and nurture the site from here on out. They are more capable, and far better equipped, to handle whatever the comes their way than we ever were. They have our every confidence, and with all of you behind them, there's no end to what they can accomplish.

Farewell PTP. We leave you with the hope that our time here has left an impact on your lives. And with the knowledge that this experience has completely changed our lives, and that in fact, is something that will last forever.

what the fuck is going on here

which tracker has this album?

perhaps the former what admin has returned

Hey /ptg/ I think you are faggots but since I just made ETM fuck it I will let you faggots know how to get buffer on RED for free.

Basically Tidal rips are allowed. Just use this program.

github.com/svbnet/Athame

Oh but user you are gonna get my account banned. Nope faggot it is legal.

redacted.ch/forums.php?page=3&action=viewthread&threadid=6646

But what do I download user.

That is easy 2017 albums. Go look at this website and see what albums are dropping. Protip download long albums to save your self some time. Try completion packs for all that buff.

Oh,

REMEMBER TO CHECK THE SPECTROS ON WHAT YOU RIP BECAUSE SOME OF THE SONGS ON TIDAL ARE NOT LOSSLESS.

>inb4 delete this

Nope it is too late

/ptg/ is dead

/ptg-pg/ is alive

New to torrents. How do I access public, legit, all-legal trackers.

...

What does "" mean?

it means get the fuck out of here

This is a joke.

Is that your final answer?

My last stroke just went viral

PTP will fall before the end of the year.

Uh, what makes you say this?

I am going to suicide my PTP account, I have around a 1TB buffer. What should I download?

neon demon is unironically a nice watch

The biggest torrent.

Why? Going somewhere?

PTP staffers retiring

I just want a lot of content before PTP inventively shuts down.

/MARKED/ BITCH

Cool

That thread is trash

mine says 3h 36min?

/marked/

You guys are fucking idiots

Fuck you

Why are you mad? All this marking shit is retarded

Is it?
Link /ptg/ in all of your profiles then post them here.

I post memes all the time in RED forums and nothing bad happened to my account. I don't know what you guys are talking about.

>Sup Forums is the only place memes exist

>Why are you mad?
You called me an idiot

People know about rukia and she hasn't been banned either. It's proof that /marking/ only matters if you are breaking the rules.

LMAO you are truly an idiot then

Fuck you!

Are you a grill? If not, then I'm not interested in some gay autistic bootyhole filled with Doritos and Mountain Dew

can someone explain to me why there are two fucking /ptg/ threads?

One is not enough anymore. We need more space for our massive epeens.

The other one was so bad that a new thread had to be created. This is the superior thread.

Because we have retards here now.

/ptg/ ain't what it use to be

Also non of the OGs are here nowadays. They moved onto IRC (not the rizon one) for some real proper shitposting

IRC is not anonymous though. It won't let me argue with myself without others knowing.

You're using IRC wrong then.

Invite only + FiSH is a starting point

>he isn't signed into IRC with multiple alts that have different personalities
top pleb

You have a mental illness

Try clicking it.

sameanon

Samefag

Leave me alone, neurotypical shit! I'm having an important argument here!

LOL

How much is a Apollo invite right now? Looking at buying one

0.5bch

they're giving invites to anyone joining their recruitment channel just to increase their user count

>18 posters
>61 posts

see

Yeah, and? Do you not know how general threads work?

see

Pretty much. It's a shitty circlejerk with retarded posters

>It's a shitty circlejerk with retarded posters
that's what happens when you shoo off the anime posters

No that's what happens anyway. The anime posters just add fuel to the fire

...

Someone get spaghetti back in hurr

He has been range IP banned from Sup Forums

What a noob. Surely he can use a VPN or a dedi

I miss spaghetti.

PTP is pointless now that I'm on HDB. Easier to maintain ratio and might as well get the best encodes from the source.

>mfw I'm stuck on AHD

AHD mirrors HDB so you're set

Am I set though? I can't funpost about how I'm in a super elite tracker

You can still do that

Meadow will own PTP one day

STOP POSTING STAFF NAMES IN PUBLIC THIS IS A SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH I SHALL LET PTP STAFF IMMEDIATELY ABOUT YOUR DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR

PTP is shutting down
It will happen sometime around September
CASH IN YOUR BUFFER NOW
Grab everything you want to keep because it's going down and they are purging the backup database as well

Wtf chill out dude, im sorry, ill stop i swear

except they don't since you can't upload HDB internals there

>except they don't since you can't upload HDB internals there
Why the hell not?

Exclusivity
It's called internals for a reason, neon

HDB internals get uploaded to PTP, so why not on AHD

because PTP doesn't respect that policy from HD sites
On AHD in the other hand is in the rules

god fucking dammit now I have to start building buffer on fucking TEH
why can't these trackers just stay online for fuck sake, they receive thousands in donations every single month

I think that is a stupid rule. The point of private trackers is to share high quality torrents

>The point of private trackers is to share high quality torrents

>private
>share
uh no, private trackers are not and have never been about sharing

>tfw neon with 2TB fat buffer on TEH
you're gonna beg me for buffer now, you smelly ptp refugee

PTP is not closing down you fool.

I make at least 200GB of buffer on TEH every single week, which is more than I will ever be downloading in one week.
More users using TEH will just result in me making more buffer on the movie of the week
just sad to see 10TB of buffer go to waste is all

...

Two staff members left, the staff that actually matter remain. Explain why I should give a shit?

because that post was not about the staff members leaving, it was a warning to its users
you can go ahead and pretending nothing is going to happen though
we all deal with loss in different ways I suppose

> it was a warning to its users
A warning about what? The post was just about one of the staff leaving.

...

Yes, neon. It was just about two staff leaving.
