CN, Filelist/Filepost & GFT update

CN or better known as Cosa Nostra is no more. A sad day for the torrent world. Both loved and hated, CN was a very good tracker. Nice layout, enthusiastic staff and a well managed bonus and permanent seed system which made the retention of movies exceptionally good. And causing a lot of drama due to its wanted secrecy might have been unnecessary but oh so fun. R.I.P.
Due to personal, technical, and other unforeseen circumstances the site put on some cement shoes and is now swimming with the fishes. - Bumrocks


Filepost.org former known as Filelist.org is one of the oldest and best known old school 0-day trackers still in function. No one except for staff knows how many users there are. Invites have been closed for longer than time itself. Most members have accepted that Filepost is a sinking ship and a lot of members have already changed to other trackers for their daily needs. There have been numerous posts in the forum about opening sign ups or giving out invites during the last years but the calls have gone unanswered. Until now.
Invites script installed, once we do some testing, we plan to make some invites available to power users only.
 Also one old music site is going down but will be merged with the new revival of Filepost.
FileMP3's going to merge with us given their financial difficulties, there's even a Music category in the browse page here already.


GFT, the hard-to-get-into and notorious trader hunting 0-day tracker was very close to go down one level. You only needed to idle in the IRC for a couple of days to gain enough points which then could be used to buy invites. Now it seems all invites have been changed back to bonus points. It seems though that when donations reach 100% the possibility to buy invites will be back. The bonus point price for one invite is yet unknown. The tracker stays at its current level.
