The FraMeSToR Announcement:
A few days ago, FraMeSToR made this formal announcement on their own forum:
Hello FraMeSToR Fans.
By first I would like to thank everyone for the support you all have been given us. We started out only 7 months ago and now FraMeSToR is a well respected group thanks to our large growing fanbase and loyal supporters.
Now to get to the point of this thread. Yes, the rumours that are going around are true. We are leaving bit-hdtv. Before there is going to be any confusion let me say that we’re not leaving because of rub-ins with the staff or users. In fact everyone has always been good to us since day one we were internals there. The reason for us leaving is that there was no room to expand. Lately we were getting a lot of PM’s asking if there were other places to get our releases since bit-hdtv’s sign-ups were closed and the invites didn’t work either. The people of hdme.eu came to us with some very nice conditions and possibilities wich we couldn’t refuse so a move was unevidable. That’s why as of monday, we will be releasing our encodes directly to hdme.eu. Also, our collegue group FLAWL3SS is going to join our ranks. They will be our 720p equivalent and we will collaborate in encoding and developping methods and ways to make the HD encoding scene grow even better then it is now. Just wait and see.
We would also like the opportunity to thank bit-hdtv, it’s staff and it’s community for all the support and good comments and suggestions they gave us regarding our encodes. You helped FraMeSToR grow to what it is now and that takes a huge part in the FraMeSToR history.
Any questions? Feel free to ask.
Kind regards
STAL
The FraMeSToR team
Truth be told, FraMeSToR left Bit-HDTV because they refused to open signups or allow members to use their invites. And who are we to blame FraMeSToR? It’s appreciative to have your hard work exposed to a wider audience - which is impossible when a tracker goes into lockdown mode as a closed society. In a twist of irony (whether the decision was related to FraMeSToR or not) Bit-HDTV apparently did re-enable their invite system recently.
To make some clarification from the above announcement, future FraMeSToR releases will only be available exclusively at HDME. As typical for the group, these will be 1080p encodes. FLAWL3SS, a popular group that is ‘internal’ at IPTorrents will continue to release XviDs there, but will work side-by-side with FraMeSToR at HDME with their own brand of 720p releases. The FLAWL3SS announcement below explains their stance more clearly:
The FLAWL3SS Announcement:
FLAWL3SS contacted FSF right before we published this article; they wanted to inform IPT members of the upcoming changes to their uploading status. Apparently IPT rejected (or deleted) such a forum post that was made on IPT since it’s forbidden to discuss other sites in their forums (isn’t that fucked?). Anyhow, here’s the original FLAWL3SS message:
Sharky,
I posted this message at IPTorrents.com today and since they do not allow advertising or mentioning other sites i can not post it but was told I can notify file share sites so I come to you with this exclusively from us.
To: All our beloved HD Fans.
Effective Monday June 6, 2010
On behalf of The FLAWL3SS Release Group we would like to inform you of the following changes to our group.
In an effort to expand our HD portion of our group FLAWL3SS will be making some changes in order for us to expand, we will be separating our HD x264 from Xvid and SD x264.
In order for us to complete the expansion of the HD portion of our group we will become HD Internal Encoders at HDME.eu for our x264 720p’s.
This is a joint venture with FRaMeSTor, one of the best 1080p encoding groups in the world as we partner up and release 720p and they release the 1080p equivalent.
All of our other content will continue to be released as we do now.

Sincerely,
FLAWL3SS Release Group

HDME - Internal Groups:
With the addition of FraMeSToR and FLAWL3SS, HDME now has five internal groups:
• PS3-Team — Joined with HDME as an exclusive internal encoder back in April 2010. PS3-Team’s releases mostly pertain to movies in 1080p (audio: AC3, 5.1CH — source: Blu-Ray) that are compatible with PS3 playback, since the filesizes are kept around the 4GB mark. PS3-Team’s torrent count: 308
• HDME (Group) — Is an internal that releases video content as well as audio (lossless). Video: Mostly 1080p, and the format/container is variable (most are MKV/x264, some are ISOs). Audio: All are lossless FLAC (HQ music) with log files included. HDME’s torrent count: 290
• INtL — Joined early in 2010, INtL puts out both 720p and 1080p (usually a version of each for the same release). Specs on INtL’s encodes can be viewed here at www.intlhd.eu. INtL’s torrent count: 131
• FraMeSToR — HDME already indexes 70 releases dating back to late 2009.
• FLAWL3SS — Just 16 older releases so far, in both 720p & 1080p. Expect a lot more to come :)
