I’m quite happy to announce another great milestone in the history of RLSLOG. We reached to 238 000 unique visitors the last day. If someone thought that the recent development would mean a drop in the amount of visitors or even end of the site as few people mentioned, he was terribly wrong: Releaselog is stronger than ever before!

After those nasty hacks redirecting you to different rip off sites, I today found even nastier trick: probably scared of the competition, the former editors inserted a nofollow meta tag in the header of RLSLOG, which means all search engines like Google ignored the site for last few days. The record high number of visitors reached last night however proved, that our visitors find a way to the site even with those lame practices.

And the good news won’t stop there: we will soon unveil a new server to host our images, so you should never ever see missing or non working pictures on RLSLOG again. As our site consumes a great portion of bandwith, I chose 6 terabytes of bandwith for it - let’s hope this will be enough. Thank you all. Remeber, there’s only one original. Long live RLSLOG!

Just a quick notice, everything is working again after recent hack. I am just surprised how cowardly desperate some people can become.

The poll started on June 17th has (finally) ended. The question was: Has RLSLOG made you more cautious about release quality before downloading? Almost 26000 people voted: Yes, now I only download when I’ve seen samples!

Well it’s good I always put some emphasis on the video samples :).

The new poll question:  Have you ever participated in a beta test? The last BETA for me was the closed beta test of Crysis and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

Have fun voting!

Due to the recent development, we decided to change our official IRC channel as the original one was taken by revolting editors. The new channel is located at AustIRC.net and one of the main advantages is planned PRE bot and also possibility to register your own VHOST to hide your real IP address. Come and join the REAL RLSLOG editors!

server: irc.austirc.net
channel: #rlslog

Just a quick notice - our partner website NewTorrents.info has been offline for 1 day now due to certain legal issues. I’m working on the matter and it should be back online soon. Unfortunately, due to the slow responses from hosting company, I can’t say if we’re talking about minutes, hours or days, but I will try to do my best. This post will be updated with more details later.

UPDATE: we are moving the website to the new server, it should be online on Saturday, max Sunday.

UPDATE: the site is back online now!

I received few emails lately, asking for explanation of various nuke reasons which we mentioned in our posts. I knew this is probably case of more readers who don’t understand all the scene terms, but it took me two years to do something about it. Anyway, I collected a list of all most common nuke reasons and added a short explanation to each of them. You can check this list on a special page called RLSLOG Nuke Dictionary.

Feel free to add more nuke reasons or a better explanation for these nukes you don’t agree with. We do it for you, our readers. I’m sure this page can help many people to finally understand the scene slang and know what’s wrong before unknowingly downloading any release and finding out it was just a waste of bandwith. Enjoy it.

Here’s Martins infamous Site News update which I will be taking care of this week. This is basically a reminder of some of the major releases that came out last week (9/6 - 15/6). Some major DVDRip releases came out last week, three of which were supplied by the infamous DiAMOND. Always nice to see DMD busy. There were a lot of other interesting releases in the lower quality categories as well, such as VHS Screeners and CAMs, so check out some of the links below.

• August LIMITED DVDSCR XviD-XanaX
• Al Jazeera Shooting the Messenger PDTV XviD-DiSSENT
• The Happening CAM XViD-CAMERA
• Fringe S01E01 DVDSCR XviD-MEDiEVAL
• The Ruins SCREENER XviD-NEPTUNE
• Drillbit Taylor UNRATED DVDRip XviD-DiAMOND
• The Incredible Hulk 2008 CAM SUBBED XViD-nDn
• Dugg: you know when you do it right
• Charlie Bartlett DVDRip XviD-DiAMOND
• Microsoft Windows 7 Build 6519 M1 DVD-MSBP
• In Bruges DVDRip XviD-DiAMOND <–WATCH!

You will all probably have noticed some of the image hosting problems we’ve been having. We have been in contact with a few private hosting solutions (tinypic just couldn’t handle us anymore) and hopefully this will be working out. If not we will be investing in a dedicated server for our images only.

Now onto the last poll, which asked all of you whether the beautiful weather means less indulgence in warez. It seems most people are stuck in the middle. Slightly less warez when the weather is nice. The option after this which got the most votes was “Same as any other season”. I think these two results support the notion that the majority of RLSLOG visitors are not necessarily the hardcore computer geeks who are glued to their computers.

With the explosion of high speed internet providers on markets across the globe, downloading media from the net is becoming relevant for more and more people. People who don’t necessarily have a lot of computer knowledge are turning to the eternal gold chest that is the internet to entertain themselves on a rainy day.

Time to move on to the next poll. This is a question I’ve been asking myself in the back of my head for quite a while now, so please scroll down and include yourself in this survey. I think it will bring some light on how RLSLOG has affected how people download and the amount of thought that goes into it before downloading.
