One of the best private trackers out there. Sorry to see it go… You can read the reasons why in the link (in Romanian and English).

UPDATE: it’s no longer shutting down:

We were overwhelmed by your wishes and messages!

You know that over the years, I’ve always said that the community has a significant voice. Your words have always mattered, and we’ve never been indifferent to them. Your voice has been heard, even now.

I am delighted to announce that the website will not be shutting down! Donations are now reactivated, so everything is returning back to normal.

One of the founders of the website, God, is back and will take over the technical aspect to ensure the site continues to thrive. He is trustworthy, loyal, and things will certainly go well from this point of view. However, we also needed someone to take care of the other aspects of the work. From now on, Oana will handle everything related to the staff, server payments, and all the internal matters that a SysOp does. She will get promoted to the SysOp class. She is more than capable and competent to maintain control and ensure that everything runs smooth internally. Congratulations!

Together, they will continue the necessary work to keep this website alive.

That being said, this announcement will be my last. I, EboLLa, am permanently retiring from the community. I want to personally thank you all for all the private messages and wishes you’ve sent me. There have been so many, and I genuinely appreciate them from the bottom of my heart. You are all wonderful, and I appreciate each and every one of you! I am and have been honored that I could contribute to your well-being! To all of you. Farewell and take care! :love:

So let’s wish Oana and God best of luck!

With love and appreciation, EboLLa

    It’s always sad to see a good resource go away but it sounds like this was the right choice. Hopefully all the content there’s distributed on other trackers so at least that’s not lost.

      This was a Romanian tracker, and it was pretty much the most popular one (or at least that I know of), so I am pretty sure there was a lot of local content as well. Movies also always had Romanian subtitles IIRC, so it was a great source for anyone not having a really good English comprehension to fiddle around.

      There surely are other trackers as well that I’m not aware of or there’s Romanian content on other international ones, but the community there was quite impressive - you always knew you could source some good quality stuff.

      For me, personally, FL was pretty much my go-to whenever I wanted to get something that I couldn’t source for free.
