Allowing Axxo on NewTorrents?

Posted on 01.12.2006 at 17:26 in Offtopic by Martin

I was thinking a bit about adding Axxo releases to NewTorrents.info. As you all know, we accept only scene releases, which means all home-made rips and game releases are denied from public uploads. It probably pisses some people off, but it’s the only way how to keep 100% quality stuff on our site, without all these viruses, malware and trojans. Rules allowing only real scene releases are up since the beginning and there were only really small amount of exceptions from it. And many people like our site just because of this.

Axxo isn’t scene group. I don’t know too much about them (or may be it’s better to say “about him”), but his/their releases are quite popular. The usually publish dvdrips of popular movies in the time when’s the official scene dvdrip released. Sometimes little earlier. I don’t know their sources, the quality of the video they produce, but many people asked me to put this kind of stuff at NewTorrents. May be they just reencode the scene releases, may be they have some direct access to retail DVDs, who knows. But I’m currently in 50/50 state, so please, put in some reasons why should we continue refusing or on the other hand start accepting their releases at NewTorrents…

    I love aXXo, releases are 95% perfect dvdrip.
    I think it’s great if you add them/his releases.

    Hm I would be dissapointed if Rlslog will allow Axxo releases on the site, simple because they are not scene (and if they were they’re dupes?)… :(

    I’ve downloaded quite a number of axxo movies and I’ve never been disappointed. A quick search at torrentspy.com with search term “axxo” shows that they release a lot of popular movies. I’ve probably downloaded 1/4 of them and I’ve been very happy with the quality. I don’t know much about the “scene” but I think axxo should be an exception to the rule.

    never had a problem with aXXo releases, I think it would be good to include them.

    There is no reason to continue refusing their releases, cause they produce excellent DVDrips, maybe some of the best on the scene.

  8. DarkH4wK
    December 1st, 2006 | 17:44

    I think they/he make good releases

    Personally I have not downloaded nor seen any Axxo releases to date, so I can’t vouch for their quality or credibility.

    I think you should allow their releases if there’s quality to them. If they follow scene standards, and not just a bunch of files rar’ed together. But also:

    -Have movie samples. Not useful for BT but nice for previewing movies on FTPs.
    -Have reasonable NFO’s
    -Have subtitles (kinda optional but really nice)
    -Have an .sfv file. Good for checking the data integrity, like if the data is corrupt or files are missing.
    Although it does not guarantee it’s authenticity! Ie. it could have been tampered with.

    Well tbh, a P2P site with scene-only releases is kinda ironic. I mean since the scene despises P2P so much. Just my 2 cents.

  12. liquidmonkey
    December 1st, 2006 | 17:54

    yeah man, aXXo releases rock. they are almost always one disc 700MB and the quality is good enough for most people. i generally prefer the 1.36g movies but thats just me.

    add aXXo and you won’t be dissapointed :)

  13. 123
    December 1st, 2006 | 17:57

    if it’s not scene, don’t publish.
    that’s the best thing about NT, this way the quality is always assured.

    Axxo releases are perfect.just view the last ripś of them for the latest blockbusters or do a search for axxo releases in other torrents site.They are awesomwe.

  15. Darkfall

    Quality releases are quality releases – scene or not. There are a lot of politics in the scene that we don’t have to stick to here. Topsites and the like, they have to be more selective for fear of losing affiliations. That’s not the case here.

    The question is really a case of will the addition of their releases damage NewTorrent’s reputation for quality releases?

    It appears their releases are of good quality, and they seem to be releasing regularly. Given that there is demand for them, there should be an associated traffic increase, as well.

    I can’t see any reason not to have their releases included. As you say, exceptions are few and far between – but this looks like a good candidate.

  17. Jepeto
    December 1st, 2006 | 18:06

    Axxo releaseas are some times better than some scenes releases and only 700 to 900 mb.
    i always prefer an Axxo release before a scene release.
    You can go to any torrent site and see that his releases are much more seeded and leeched than any other scene releases.
    I think that Axxo must be on newtorrents.

  18. Omg
    December 1st, 2006 | 18:07

    obviously this guy that posted this is a bit noob , cause aXXo
    is one of the best releaser out there , i see some way worst crap at nti like CAMS and TS lol, AXXo got a site for his releases so i dont care if they put it on nti or not.

  19. Martin staff member
    December 1st, 2006 | 18:16

    2 OMG: hehe i should say now something like double OMG or whatever, beause you embarrassed yourself a bit. it’s not possible to compare the quality of Axxo’s releases when they do *only* dvdrips, and every other release, which may be the cam or telecine, but released 4 months before the dvdrip.

    anyway, as I see, we will probably give it a try at NTi and see how it works…

  20. Barabbas
    December 1st, 2006 | 18:18

    I vote for it, definitely. Scene roules are ok most of the time and they deliver a certain quality, but some of them are just plain bullshit. Axxo releases have always been awesome, mostly better than some of the shitty scene compliant releases.

  21. zoo
    December 1st, 2006 | 18:29

    I think allowing AXXO releases is a good idea. They DO dupe releases, but the ones they do dupe are generally much better quality than the original scene releases (a good example is their release of Superman Returns .. the original scene ones were terrible). Since AXXO seems to only release stuff that’s already on Retail shelves, I doubt they are transcoding original scene rips.

    They seem to stand for quality, and there’s so much bullshit nuking and transcoding in the scene rips that propagate down to the p2p level that it would be in everyone’s best interest to let them release here.

  22. Jaybot
    December 1st, 2006 | 18:34

    The main issue for me is: INTEGRITY. By that I mean if we can be assured he isn’t just repacking another group’s releases as his own, then I vote yes.

    We can’t be having repacks – if he’s a genuine article, which it certainly sounds like – then go for it. It’ll only add to the value of NT.

    Don’t let politics hinder quality downloads.

  24. Spartacus
    December 1st, 2006 | 18:40

    Well most of the time new posts are added because of a DVDRip, right?
    But Axxo is always later with the DVDRips, so why would you post again, but then about a Axxo release? It would be better if it’s on NTi only

  25. CbK

  26. Dilish69
    December 1st, 2006 | 19:05

    i think axxo makes good dvdrips if the movies are under 2 hours….if they are above, they aren’t good at all….for example i think that MI:3 was a pretty sh!tty dvdrip from axxo….he is good but he should stay at movies under 2 hours…

  27. sainthalo
    December 1st, 2006 | 19:20

    You have to allow AXXO

    Reason is they produce QUALITY rips which also work on all media players without any problems

    The SCENE could take a lesson from AXXO

  28. scristian
    December 1st, 2006 | 19:21

    What I noticed about aXXo:
    1. Audio is always ok, I think that is the reason he’s a little late with the releases.
    2. Video is not always the best, because 1cd constraint.

    I think you should include aXXo, he is very popular on torrents sites, especially on Pirate bay.

  29. sainthalo
    December 1st, 2006 | 19:21

    omg – whats the url for AXXO’s website?

  30. raja7
    December 1st, 2006 | 19:34

    they aren’t scene,ok but they/he/she/whatever,make very good dvdrips and he should be here after the realease torrent come out,four example:
    the movie WORLD TRADE CENTER was realesed first by diamond but this realease was 1.4 gb i think,but axxo realease a couple of thays later was 700 mb and the quality had no difference or if it had it was a very small one.
    SO UNLESS EVERYONE WANTS TO WAIST BANDWITH I GUESS AXXO SHOULD BE PART OF THIS GREAT SITE!!!!!!!
    Hey i forgot i also love diamond realeses they are the better and fastes group:)

  31. Ranking Spicey
    December 1st, 2006 | 19:42

    Yepps Axxo produces great quality rips. I think they are ripped on a Mac with “Handbrake” 2-pass. But, that´s just a guess. Anyhow, Axxo is well big ‘pon Piratebay!
    So my say is to list early Axxos rips pon NT.

    umm, since when does “scene” = quality? half the “scene” shit is nuked or propered anyway, the whole “scene” politics thing is retarded, its all about their e-penis being bigger then xxxxxx groups, pathetic, axxo are good releases, no “scene” politics, no e-penis syndrome

  35. josh

    aXXo makes one of the best and most reliable DVDRiP’s.
    So I vote for adding aXXo torrents to newtorrents.
    He kicks all our asses at once.

  37. geeman
    December 1st, 2006 | 20:26

    Yeah. I don’t care if the releases are from the scene or from anyone only thing that matters is the quality. So if Axxo has good quality releases go ahead and report about them.

  38. dfx
    December 1st, 2006 | 20:31

    I have seen some aXXo stuff and there is no need to worry about the quality. Its perfect. And they are popular, usually no.1 search on torrentz.com, so you are definitely going to bring more visitors if you add aXXo releases to the NTi.

  39. Stu
    December 1st, 2006 | 20:44

    No, the simple reason being there probably already is a scene release available of anything aXXo churns out.

  40. [d]
    December 1st, 2006 | 20:53

    I, for one, vote for aXXo on NT. The quality of their DvDRips are awsome, I started replacing my scene rels with Axxo’s. Their sound is almost always AC3, the video is of great quality as well. I mostly do not watch CAMs but prefer well made DvDRips. Their .nfo’s are OK, they usually do not supply .sfv’s or subtitles. Who the **** needs subs anyway? Let them im! Make my RSS Feed Happy! That would be a great xmas present! :)

  41. khayman
    December 1st, 2006 | 21:07

    I won`t say no or yes, cause the 1.5h movies axxo rips are nice, yet the ones that should be 2×700MB releases, but are in 700/800MB format suck major ass. The Da Vinci Code 800MB version has pretty crappy blurred quality.

    Subtitles (in SRT/SUB/SSA format) can be found on dozens of sites, like subscene.com or opensubtitles.org.

  42. tarobaapu
    December 1st, 2006 | 21:07

    I vote for axxo. When you see the name axxo attached to a torrent you don’t need to ask questions about the quality of their rips.

  43. Kevin
    December 1st, 2006 | 21:19

    I vote for NOT INCLUDING axxo. Keep newtorrents pure and scene only. axxo releases are always covered by legit groups anyway.

  44. Michael
    December 1st, 2006 | 21:20

    I vote no!
    Simply because, as the posts states, the concept of NTi is to provide SCENE releases. NOT quality releases! As a comment above states; half, or even more, of the scene stuff is nuked and/or propered. Either way, its scene and it should be here on NTi.

    Afaik u ppl who all vote yes for axxo on NTi already seem to have a very reliable source of getting your axxo needs fulfilled. Why wont you just stay there then, and dont come here poluting this great site with that stuff…thnx :)

    i have a few problems with aXXo release… first is the resolution, second is the annoying diagonal line in the screen if you try adding subtitle to aXXo release.

  46. somebloke
    December 1st, 2006 | 21:22

    Honestly, who cares… aXXo releases are awesome, but how hard is it to just go to torrentspy to get them instead…?

  47. Corban Dallas
    December 1st, 2006 | 21:27

    I would definitely give it a try. You can still kick em if they receive bad reviews/comments. But I´d stay open.

    Concerning the police of “group-only-releases” I think we all appreciate that very much! Continue like that!

    Thanx for all your work and Saving our time!

    Sure, if the quality’s great, why not? There will still be non-axxo releases the axxo haters can download. But if it’s a foreign movie, subs should def. be included before it’s upp’d.

  49. Another axxo fan
    December 1st, 2006 | 22:04

    Anther vote for axxo. I hate downloading a release only to find it won’t play on my standalone video player DVP-642… axxo guarantees that that won’t happen because he/they do it right.. if everyone else was doing it “right” in the first place, perhaps it would be redundant, but right now, axxo is a mark of quality bar none.

    Have to agree with “somebloke” at post #46.

  52. dciple
    December 1st, 2006 | 22:39

    I vote yes. aXXo always releases great dvdrips. Period.

    May I remind you that “the scene”-wankers hate sites like NT simply because its p2p .. well, fuck em and their l33t rules, we have our own rules and they are simple : is it good enough to download then we download, if it sucks then we don’t.

    Sites like NT are great because of the community and the comments. Who doesn’t read the comments first before downloading a torrent nowadays ? That is something that wouldn’t be possible if the warezworld would have still been ruled by the “elite scene” like 10 years ago. In those days if you weren’t a member on a private warezboard u had nothing (or u had to use irc). I prefer the current situation.

    but again, I vote YES LOL ;)

  53. Saulo Benigno
    December 1st, 2006 | 22:44

    All aXXo releases are DVD Rips, good quality and DivX Players compatible.

    From the nfo:

    ”
    aXXo Rips–ALL Home DivX Players Compatible
    ”

    They all have one nice nfo file, with good info.

    Video and audio quality, film info (summary), url, release date (torrent), imdb.

    It’s just like what you do. :)

  54. blah
    December 1st, 2006 | 23:30

    I vote no. The video quality is ok, but the resolution on most axxo rips is too low – in full screen you get much more pixelation than with a standard scene rip.

    Plus, axxo releases can be had off of plenty of other torrent sites anyways. Why not keep NTi more exclusive? NTi has a reputation of quality, and it should try to maintain that.

  55. Pika
    December 1st, 2006 | 23:46

    I have had no problem downloading and watching Axxo movies. 99% of the time the quality of the movie is excellent. I would recommend allowing Axxo on releaselog.

    But one thing i dont understend,why is the audio always
    2.0 stereo,everybody has a home cinema system these days!

  60. mememe!
    December 2nd, 2006 | 00:29

    Let’s see…
    Good:
    Compatible with many dvd/divx player.
    Smaller file size with a reasonable video and audio quality.
    Fast and popular torrent.
    Nice NFO just like scene release.

    Bad:
    No SFV.
    No SUB.
    No Sample.
    Resolution is smaller than standard scene release.
    Audio is re-encode to ac3 stereo 192kb/s~
    Sometime not retail dvd(or not sure where the heck it came from)

    I guess I’ll vote for YES. Give them a chance and if they release bullshit crap(which they havn’t) ban them afterward.

  61. figgy
    December 2nd, 2006 | 00:58

    ive enjoyed many axxo rips and sometimes the quality is better than anything else out there. Why not make 2 torrent movie links to include the so called unscene releases….”scene” and “user” for example. Least it gives everyone the choice?

  62. Oski
    December 2nd, 2006 | 01:17

    if Axxo is releasing shit that nobody else is ripping the let him in. If he is ripping shit that other groups are ripping then there is no need for him. If he is asking to be let in then have him get in contact with some release groups and join one of them and there will be no objections to let him in. Either way in the end its quality stuff that should be the determining factor in allowing anybody in.

  63. Davieboy
    December 2nd, 2006 | 01:41

    What about making better sub sections on nti? For example in “movies” have a “dvdrip” section for high quality torrents with great resolution and 5.1 sound and then a “TS Cam” sub section for everything else. Having Axxo releases then would surely not be a problem for anyone navigating the site. Remember folks that Martin is trying to create the best end user experience for us users on his site. And so far its great! Again just think about it, under movies u see 2 columns. 1 for high def picture/audio, 1 for cams+TS+ low res stuff like Axxo etc. Way easier to find what u want then. Having them all in the one section will be confusing!

    Well, “the scene” is a big fucking joke anyway, just a bunch of nerds making a big fuss about some pirate stuff. I mean what’s with the “rules” and the weird competition? Like any of that matters…

    Just accept all the stuff that meets your quality standards.

  65. Mr. X
    December 2nd, 2006 | 02:08

    The current situation of ‘the scene’ is abysmal, look at all the nukes we are getting and that shitty TV Rips group NoTV that gets almost all of its products nuked. I say the bad scene groups keep on screwing up and they’re not banned but what sort of ‘right of passage’ or ‘user agreement’ needs to be singed to be in ‘the scene’ why not just declare in the nfo ‘we are scene’ or anything ? Who gets to decide or not. I say fuck them and if axxo comes out with a DVDRip before a ’scene’ group does, then it should be on, if not, then no.

    “Well, “the scene” is a big fucking joke anyway, just a bunch of nerds making a big fuss about some pirate stuff. I mean what’s with the “rules” and the weird competition? Like any of that matters…”

    Pedro, are you fucking retarded? Why do you think you can enjoy quality releases as they are today? Because no-one gave a crap about rules or having a scene standard with some sort of system that actually works? I think you have to roll in your high & mighty tongue and use your single braincell to think again.

    Some of you lot commenting here are downright pathetic.

    the scene is not what it was back in the oldskool earily 90s when the groups where cracking amiga games such like razor1911 and reloaded etc etc there was a lot of love over the last few years the warez kiddes have all got into it and yes they do make stupid rules and axxo is a small group that cant be bothered with the bullshit in the scence atm. wheres the love gone, up the axxo torrents you know they usally good

  68. SyntaxError
    December 2nd, 2006 | 02:22

    I think Axxo releases should be allowed on NewTorrents. I have several of them and they are all excellent quality dvdrips, just as good as any proper scene release. Fuck the scene rules.

    Just because Axxo isn’t yet recognized on the index sites as a real group doesn’t mean shit as long as Axxo releases quality, which they do, and that’s all that matters in the end, QUALITY. Doesn’t matter who made the damn thing.

    I’ve made dvdrips for personal use that are every bit as good as any scene release. I could easily name them the same as some well known scene releases and post them somewhere and no one would know any different. My point is the name on the release ultimately means jack shit as long as it’s a QUALITY release.

    Long live Axxo.

    Martin, any of these replyes you get about axxos realeses shoud, and if not, should get you afraid.. they speak about the scene like if they knew anything.. please make a mark and show that there still is a standard..

  71. m
    December 2nd, 2006 | 05:21

    His releases are always 100% quality, no matter how long the movie is. For those who want the super hi-res you’re just gonna have to *AT LEAST* rent the DVD… These people do spend a lot of money and time and making these movie look good until some nerdy basement hacker rips it and then others complain about quality… C’mon guys, wake up.

    It should be clear as of now… aXXo IS IN DA SCENE!!!!!!

  72. ian
    December 2nd, 2006 | 06:00

    aXXo is far better than any scene group. When will u wake up and see that EVERYONE wants axxo rips :)

  73. loco
    December 2nd, 2006 | 06:31

    The problem with allowing “non-scene” releases is that the responsibility for quality control is then passed on to admins / users of the site, rather than it just being taken for granted that if it’s on the site, it’s a scene release and is thus, by default, of a high quality. So all you guys who want non-scene stuff on the site should be offering to put your valuable time into filtering content. If you’re not willing to do that, it’s unfair to expect someone else to do it.

    Besides, there are plenty of places that you can already get non-scene stuff like aXXo. I’d prefer NTi to remain pure scene oriented… saves having to pick and choose what to get. Scene doesn’t just mean “good quality”, there are also rules that they follow with regards to labelling, codecs used, formats, sizes etc. aXXo might produce decent DVD rips, but that doesn’t mean he can be considered on the same level of reliability as a proper scene group that subscribes to the rules.

    i would say yes to aXXo on NT. always quality rips and always under a gig. the scene releases will still be available on NT so you will have a choice of which one you want. i don’t think its a compromise.. its giving people more options on what to download, and options are good.

    There are a lot of times I find movies that have been released already in the stores because of axxo. Always quality in my eyes. Not everything gets a screener or dvd rip by the so called sceners. axxo rips just about everything and there have been times I missed out on some new films because they weren’t listed here (no one bother to rip them) but axxo is my guide to seeing all new releases. Plus if i like a movie alot i will re download a 2 disk version later

    i say add axxo, definitely

    I’ve known about Axxo and downloaded their stuff for a long time now, some guys act like they are new to this stuff. Axxo has a very good track record of quality stuff and are top five for great film releases. Let ‘em in, they do great AND timely work.

    I’m all for it…
    there are situations when he mutilates a movie by releasing it on 1cd, but there are many crappy movies, that do not deserve 2cds…
    anyway i’ve never seen an axxo releas that had an out of sync, bad ar or some similiar issue…

    The choice argument isn’t really valid here, since NTi is an *exclusive* site. I see it as a P2P clearing house for valid scene material. I doubt anyone here only uses one site for torrents, so if you want aXXo you can always get it from another site. I don’t think anybody is disputing the quality of the releases, but why change an exclusive system like NTi when there are already heaps of (much better) generalised sites available if you want to bother trawling through stuff for “more choice” :)

    I don’t agree!If you want to put non scene releases,put the JUPIT releases!The reason is this:

    All releases with “AC3 Dolby Digital”!

    At least this brings something new!
    If you want,just put this releases,when the scene releases dont have AC3!

    i’m just saying,cause i have a surrond system!!

    Don’t start with axxo releases on NTi. The only thing that dude does is changing the name of a scene-rel and reencode it. I don’t think that’s acceptable. Over and out.

    aXXo doesn’t steal “scene” Rips and use them as their own…

    Look @ Superman Reurns & The New Pirates of the Carribean

    those 2 are the only aXXo rls I downloaded because the real groups couldn’t rip them good

    So they where the first with good Video and Audio, so from wich real group must they rip if from if those 2 movies weren’t ripped at all in good quality?

    But those where the only 2 I downloaded the rest of their rips are always later…

    Martin don’t be bothered with “the scene”. Since many of those cunts in the scene would like you and other public networks gone – its not like you are really their friend… aXXo is by far the best ripper out there – the sound is always loud and the picture clean and crisp. The sound is what counts here – on 80% of dvdrips from the scene – diamond included – the dvdrips have such shit audio quality that i have to crank my sound up to 100% in order to hear the dialog – and god forbid some sound effect happens in the meantime because those almost explode my ears – with aXXo the quality is #1.

    Its up to you whether to up these releases – either way I’m not bothered because there are plenty of places to find aXXo…

    Issue 1) That allowing non-scene could affect the ‘integrity’ of newtorrents previously ’scene only’ quality record.
    Opinion: Who are we trying to impress with our ‘integrity’?
    - The scene itself not only doesn’t care, but is fundamentally pitted against NTi for condoning p2p, bittorrent included. In fact, the DDOS attacks awhile back (and perhaps still current) attacking newtorrents/rlslog’ server was thought to be caused by members of the scene. And this is with the current ’scene only’ mode.
    - Most users agree Axxo releases are on par or better than the average scene release both in performance quality and following the release rules – I think the users in the end just want to easily hit download and burn/play.

    Issue 2) That allowing non-scene could make Martin/Kevin/admin’s job harder by making them sift through more stuff other than just scene. First, I don’t think it would be dramatic change for them: they already choose what to post – they are simply adding Axxo. In the future, they may add another ‘trusted non-scene’ group, and maybe a special category for these ‘bastard’ releases haha. The final proof of this is that Martin himself is considering it with our input, meaning it wouldn’t be a huge setback for him if it went the YES route.

    Would anybody else like to outline some new issues or shed some light on the above?

    Happy voting,
    Jay

    Ok maybe I’m the only person with eyes here. Axxo does HALF ASSED DVDRIPS. Some of them are right bang on quality, some should be 2 cds not 600 megs.

    I have tons of them in my collection, why? because they are all 600 fucking megs! These are not scene releases with no scene nfo, or an nfo at all.

    The main thing is, if it’s an Axxo dvdrip you know it’s complete, without glitches, and usually close to or at scene quality. My only concern is that scene releases, HIGH QUALITY ONES, will not be posted in favor of axxo releases.

    As long as the scene releases still keep coming, I’m voting yes to allowing axxo.

    but not 7 instances of the same torrent, WTF

    His or their releases are better than most scene releases and always very popular.
    If I’m looking for a movie I’m always looking for aXXo, so why shouldn’t he or them be supported by posting their releases on this site?

    Nochmal auf Deutsch :-)
    Axxo ist einfach top. Wieso sollte man ihm oder ihnen nicht die Ehre erweisen und ihre Releases auch posten? Also ich wäre auf jeden Fall dafür *daumenhoch*

    aXXo releases have never dissapointed me even the supposed 2 CD versions that somehow aXXo makes on 1 CD. I visit his site regularly http://axxotorrents.com/

    When “teh scene” was coming out with like 10 bad versions of Pirates of the carribean 2. I grabbed the aXXo single CD version and never looked back. I don’t know why some people on this thread complain about the quality because I’ve never seen another group produce consistant quality like aXXo. I burn all my rips to DVD and have more confidence in aXXo than any other.

    Honestly since he has his own site it really doesn’t matter if he here also. Anyone that wants aXXo rips can just visit his site…

    keep anything that’s not from the scene off of the site, if i want to take a chance and get a homemade or non scene release i’ll go somewhere else. non scene releases are dangerous, they could be fake, setups to catch people, or viruses. so keep newtorrents the way it is!!!!!!!!

    I don’t know. Everyone can make good/great DVDRips. It’s not like it’s hard or anything. Are you gonna publish those too on Newtorrent?
    The hard part is to get the DVD before everyone else.

    Hell, does this mean you will start publishing my DVDRip backup copies too, they are really good quality with AC3 5.1 sound and things.

    Nah, I personally stay away fra aXXo. Sure, the 1.5 hour movie releases looks good, but it really hurts the overall quality when you start releasing 2 hour movies on 700MB.

    December 2nd, 2006 | 16:18

    No axxo, please. Even though the scene loathes us, they have a set of *rules* that you have to follow if you don’t want to be nuked up and down. These rules guarantee a certain level of quality, that’s why I prefer scene releases to indie stuff. Axxo doesn’t follow these rules and doesn’t get reviewed by so many people like scene groups do. Most likely a glitched Axxo release won’t be noticed because a lot of P2P people (yeah, I notice the irony…) simply don’t care for quality and there’s no “instance” where this quality gets judged, “peer-review” style.

    Bottom line is, you can get these indie releases anywhere, why put them here? You can get scene releases anywhere, too, but there’s no place like NTi that exclusively carries them. As soon as NTi accepts anything it won’t be unique anymore.

    I was on the fence throughout the argument but now that it’s been implemented i think you should go back to scene releases only.

    NTi was a great site to browse; always had nice seed:peer ratios and always had the latest stuff– now we’re greeted by a nice long list of older movies with odd nomenclature.

    The scene-only rule made NTi what it is– people can go to mininova/piratebay or axxo’s site and find his/her releases if they are looking for a specialty rip.

    –on a side note, is there something wrong with the server this morning, i keep getting a refused connection etc.

    yeah, server is fucked up for few days already. it will be probably some network adapater or drive error, but we can fix it first in the monday’s morning. and about the older movies – this is just a one step, from now on, only the new one will be added…
