If you expect to find a perfect replacement, I have bad news for you, and that's why everyone's so distraught over this.Originally Posted by nageshnarian
Anyway, we have approximately three months until any torrent that hasn't been cross-seeded somewhere else is effectively lost. Grab whatever you need now and don't forget to seed back... speaking of which, they had the most relaxed seeding time requirements of all major general trackers... ugh!

This is indeed very sad news. FL.ro will always be remembered as a legendary tracker.

Also this year closing down TorrentBytes and PirateTheNet. Old school private trackers are quitting.Losing RARBG and FL is just too much damageNew ones will arrive! or get current ones will get stronger I hope !
While not torrent-related, I routinely used AnonFiles to transfer data in both directions and therefore also count it among this year's big losses.
My proverbial money's on the latter. Starting a new tracker requires a lot of upfront work, and due to the network effect, people are more likely to gravitate towards established alternatives. In fact, TL has already opened signups for FL members.New ones will arrive! or get current ones will get stronger
An addendum to the announcement was posted today, although it basically says "we're not backpedaling on this".
Spoiler :
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
We were overwhelmed by your wishes and messages!
You know that over the years, I've always said that the community has a significant voice. Your words have always mattered, and we've never been indifferent to them. Your voice has been heard, even now.
I am delighted to announce that the website will not be shutting down!
Donations are now reactivated, so everything is returning back to normal.
One of the founders of the website, God, is back and will take over the technical aspect to ensure the site continues to thrive. He is trustworthy, loyal, and things will certainly go well from this point of view.
However, we also needed someone to take care of the other aspects of the work. From now on, Oana will handle everything related to the staff, server payments, and all the internal matters that a SysOp does. She will get promoted to the SysOp class. She is more than capable and competent to maintain control and ensure that everything runs smooth internally. Congratulations!
Together, they will continue the necessary work to keep this website alive.
That being said, this announcement will be my last. I, EboLLa, am permanently retiring from the community.
I want to personally thank you all for all the private messages and wishes you've sent me. There have been so many, and I genuinely appreciate them from the bottom of my heart. You are all wonderful, and I appreciate each and every one of you!
I am and have been honored that I could contribute to your well-being! To all of you. Farewell and take care!
So let's wish Oana and God best of luck!
With love and appreciation,
EboLLa

What a spin... great news!
I think the expression "deus ex machina" has never been more appropriate. This was pretty much the only possible way to turn this around. Chain of trust is a huge thing when recruiting staff, and for a replacement sysop, that would apply hundredfold.One of the founders of the website, God, is back

Yes and their decision of closing down was appropriate without having a trustworthy staffs to take over. with that number of user data its so dangerous to give to an unknown.
