Some douche bag named Ernesto - who runs torrentfreak - is responsible for propagating a rumor, claiming that Demonoid got shut down. This is FALSE.

05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:00.54] (ernesto) hi
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:01.01] (ernesto) it's ernesto from TF
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:01.05] (seanap) hello
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:01.27] (ernesto) brb 1 min
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:01.28] (seanap) are you part of the staff there?
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:02.01] (ernesto) I'm the staff
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:02.03] (ernesto) hehe
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:02.32] (seanap) that article is completely false.
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:02.39] (ernesto) well, I based my story on a respectable source
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:02.47] (ernesto) but I doubted it
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:02.55] (ernesto) so what's going on then?
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:03.05] (seanap) there hasn't been word yet
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:03.44] (seanap) the 2 IRC ops that are usually in contact with Deimos haven't been around
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:03.45] (ernesto) last time demonoid staff said it were hw problems you relocated to CAN
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:04.11] (ernesto) they said my story was false then too
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:04.20] (ernesto) but it turned out not to be
[05:26] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:04.46] (seanap) well i'm saying we as site and IRC staff haven't heard anything.. and we'd be the first people to hear
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:05.18] (ernesto) perhaps Deimos doesn't know it?
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:05.21] (ernesto) yet
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:05.28] (seanap) so i don't think you should be reporting unconfirmed things, the IRC is going insane.. almost double the amount of users in a day
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:05.32] (ernesto) that was exactly how it happened last time
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:06.04] (ernesto) nu.nl is the biggest news source in NL
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:06.12] (ernesto) they might have inside info
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:06.21] (seanap) form who?! we are the inside
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:06.22] (ernesto) from the isp or the CRIA
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:06.41] (ernesto) the ISP probably firewalled the servers
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:06.52] (ernesto) after some seriuos legal threats
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:07.04] (ernesto) it's not unlikely
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:07.16] (seanap) no its not, but it's not.. confirmed
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:07.31] (ernesto) as long as you can't explain what's happening this is all I have
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:07.16] (seanap) no its not, but it's not.. confirmed
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:07.31] (ernesto) as long as you can't explain what's happening this is all I have
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:08.25] (ernesto) everybody complained about me spreading false in fo about brein
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:08.33] (ernesto) but that turned out to be true
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:08.44] (ernesto) no idea if that will happen this time
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:08.56] (ernesto) but in could be
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:09.31] (seanap) h/o real quick, afk for a bit
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:09.38] (ernesto) kk
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:11.21] (seanap) ok
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:12.29] (seanap) well, the point i'm trying to make is that Demonoid can't confirm this info... and that article has 1150+ diggs iirc and it's abesolutely overwhelming the staff with floods of people thinking the site was taken down, when we're not sure if it is.. and it puts us as staff in a bad place
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:13.05] (ernesto) I wrote that demonoid staff didn't confirm it
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:13.25] (ernesto) personally I believe it could be true
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:16.03] (seanap) and for the record, there is only ONE admin on Demonoid, and that's Deimos, so until we hear from him, we cannot confirm anything.
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:16.32] (seanap) everyone else is just staff to help out
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:16.41] (ernesto) true, but this is the ONLY explanation right now
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:16.49] (ernesto) and it's very plausible
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:17.25] (ernesto) last time I got the EXACT same response
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:17.29] (seanap) but it's not confirmed therefore its not an explanation!
[05:27] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:17.33] (seanap) it's a possiblyity!
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:17.34] (ernesto) people didn't believe it
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:17.58] (ernesto) last time people didn't even believe it when BREIN issues a press release
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:17.59] (ernesto) lol
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:18.43] (seanap) who did you talk to at CRIA (or where ever you go your information)?
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:18.54] (seanap) how about you take it down, until there is more news
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:18.59] (ernesto) no
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:19.06] (ernesto) out of the question
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:19.27] (ernesto) I talked to a professional journalist
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:19.44] (ernesto) so that's my source
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:19.52] (seanap) sources usually have names
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:20.02] (ernesto) no need to doubt that if you guys don't have a clue
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:20.14] (seanap) yes there is! if we don't have a clue, how does he?
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:20.16] (ernesto) check the link in the article
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:20.37] (ernesto) who knows
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:20.47] (ernesto) maybe Deimos doesn't even know
[05:28] *seanap* [09/25/07 - 18:20.58] (ernesto) looks like an action from the ISP to meLets hope it gets thrown up soon, I'll pass out invites.
