Bitgamer shuts down
As of an hour ago bitGAMER closed it doors possibly for good after announcing free leech without an predetermined end, unfortunately I have heard no information other than what is posted on the BG website. Hopefully this will turn out to be one big joke and trackers will be back up by tomorrow. If not, well, this years is already off to a really bad start for anyone with any interest in their internet freedoms.
UPDATE: I found what seems to be a FAQ from the admins on the closing of bitgamer
1. bitGAMER has closed down. This is not a joke.
2. We tried to find new, trusted owners to carry the torch, but after years of attempts fell though, we had no choice but to close down the site. We wouldn't be willing to transfer sensitive database data to a third-party that we're not well acquainted with.
3. We didn't give advance warning due to the nature of the site. We don't want to give any advance notice in case someone was ready to kick someone's door in at the last minute.
4. If you are a donor, then we greatly appreciate your support that allowed bitGAMER to live a long, successful life in the service of its community. If you donated within the last month, then you can contact an administrator to get a refund.
5. We are shutting down because it's time for us to move on. There are no secret meaning beyond what was posted on the front page.
6. Lastly, thanks again for all of your support over the years. 7 years is a long time for any site to live, especially a site of this nature. We appreciate your support which has allowed us such a long life. Thank you.
