Well, there’s P2L and then there’s this. The creators of Bitt.tv have shut down the site due to lack of donations in favor of a different model that charges $24 USD for a yearly subscription to their new ratio-free TV tracker at http://vizz.tv. So instead of running a top-notch torrent tracker (which they obviously failed at) where members will gladly donate, why not charge a one-time flat fee just so members can gain entrance? - without even offering a single iota of detail about what’s behind the $24 curtain. Talk about taking the ‘free’ out of BitTorrent - here’s the message staff sent out today to existing members of Bitt.tv:
Mass mail to all BitT.Tv users
This will be the last email from bitt.tv :’( (database will be destroyed so no need to delete account)
Well hi there, long time no spam
We have had a few changes (like you haven’t noticed) unfortunately we had to close bitt.tv due to lack of donations…
But the good news is we’ve started a new site ViZZ.Tv where there are big changes.. biggest being WE DON’T MONITOR RATIO!!! yes you heard right no more ratio driven site, yes theres ratio on your stats but you’ll never get a warning for bad ratio.. ratio has been kept purley for games and casino.
only thing we ask is you seed minimum 48hours for the whole week.. so seeding few hours a day won’t kill you right!!
so how to join this new and exiting site.. well, were only allowing max of 400 users on the site allready have about 30 so only 370 places left
heres the bad news only way in is yearly subscription of $24usd.. well it’s not that bad of a news ;)
that will cover all site cost so no more worries about shutting the site down due to lack of donations :)
you can dl at your hearts desire, just make sure you don’t over do it
to subscribe https://vizz.tv/tos.html you will find subscription link at the bottom of the page.
once you have subscribed please email transaction details to support@vizz.tv with the user name you want, once confirmed login details will be mailed back to you.
thanks zee
irc.vizz.tv #vizz.tv
ps once we hit 400 users any one over will get their subscription rejected so hurry only 370 places available mass pm going to 7,000+ users subscription link will be removed once we hit target
etc.. etc..
Note: this is a mass email and has been sent to ALL members.
If anyone is silly enough to fall for this, please let us know what’s going on at this mystical pay-2-leech private tracker. Suggesting that Vizz.tv does fill up the 400 slots, that’s an eye-popping $9,600 - considerably more than it would cost to host the site for one year, even on the best server money can buy. As we’ve advocated several times here at FSF - keep your credit card in your wallet.
