It would appear that CoExist.in - a no ratio music tracker that was set to shut its doors permanently as early as this past weekend, has been given a second chance at life. CE’s future has been shrouded in uncertainty over the past few days in relation to the sysop and the project’s main coder coming precariously close to pulling the plug on CE entirely amidst a shortage of hosting finances, lack of donations, design flaws, and an unrelated scuffle on a private torrent forum.
CoExist’s own homepage suggests that JC (JayCryst) and J0zza have decided to push forward with CoExist - although they’ll be ditching Gazelle - and opting for a more familiar tracker codebase instead. If you’re a current member of CoExist, tomorrow(ish) will be the final chance to see CE running on the Gazelle codebase, as they’ll be switching over to the ever-popular TBDev.
If rumors are correct, finances have been raised for at least one more month of hosting, perhaps even put up by JC himself. Better still, CoExist has announced that they’ll be going "open signups" for a few weeks after the tracker’s refurbishment is complete. A direct source (ragincajun) said, "the site is being re-coded from the ground up using tbdev. Once the site is back up we will open sign ups for two weeks." Unfortunately, this likely means that all current accounts will be wiped out, although this is unconfirmed.
Here’s the message posted yesterday on CE’s homepage:
A New Age for CE:
Hello Ladies and Gents,
Been awhile hasn’t it? Tonight, to protect us from any possible damage that Backie may have done, We are reformatting the box! And once more, we are switching to tbdev with open signups for the first few weeks!
This is a BIG step for CE in the right direction, and much of the ’staff’ will change, with new sysops and admins and coders and all that good stuff.
Once more, I can actually code TBdev, So it’ll work out great!
Can’t wait to see you all there!
Long Live CE!

Look for open signups at CoExist soon! Or, use the many ‘community rep’ outlets, including the one in What.cd’s "invites" forum, and TPS recruitment thread here. Below are CE’s current stats from Feb. 3rd/09.
