I just noticed we have more thread views here than ShareTheFiles has for their release threads

Now if only people would make donations Send me cheques, send me cheques

Yeah but how many of those said 'Thanks'?

The never do for my threads.

Wow I just reminded of the FSTF thread... gotta update that!

ShareReactor is closing. Our new owner has screwed us over and is now trying to sell ShareReactor at Sitepoint.com Therefore we advise everyone to go look elsewhere for there ed2k-links. This site is dead for good this time.

So what the hell is going on??

Well in short, we, the staff, got screwed over big time and that by a person we thought of as not just our boss but also our friend. We have defended him countless of times over the years from an endless abyss of rumers and badmouthing. All because we felt we knew a different side of him than the rest of you.

It's very sad to see that we we're wrong. He really is a shit.

2 months ago SimonMoon appeared out of the blue and told us to gather the gang, he wanted to revive SR, make it bigger and better than it ever was.
He had so many plans and it all sounded too good to be true, we didn't really believe it would happen and the opening date got pushed a few times but then the day came, SR was back in business!
With only 5 actively releasing team members (2 years ago we were around 15 I think) it was impossible to make SR what it used to be and with nothing going on in the forums building a new team seemed hopeless. But we tried our best with the time we had to spare, by we I mean the staff. Simon worked a little on the site, then slipped out and was seen less and less and the last month we haven't seen or heard from him at all.

Not untill today. He pops back on IRC telling a a sob story how he was forced to do it this way. It's out of his hands.

The sale was planned since the opening, he knew all along it would happen.

HE DIDN'T TELL US A DAMN THING. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

In fact he told us the opposite, he went on and on about all the plans for the future of SR. Made sure we would do our best to revive the site so he could sell it for a good price and give his staff the finger, both of them.

In case you are confused, SR was never sold - there is no new owner, it's still SimonMoon behind the curtains. He didn't want anyone to know, so he went undercover as "BNDR."
Or at least he is the owner for the next 7 days untill a new owner is found on sitepoint.
I don't give shit for that "I selling for a friend" story.


The worst really isn't that Simon completely screwed us over. We worked on the site because we had fun doing it.
Our work is not wasted, more than 200.000 people have enjoyed our work and noone can take away the time well spent, the many hours we spent in the forums and on IRC, the many people we have gotten to know - it's a chapter in our lives and none of us will forget it.
It ended bad the first time, but that was something we all knew could happen, we knew the risks. But this time...

No, the worst about this whole charade is the way this site, our baby we have watched grow from zero to something noone would have dreamed of when it started out, is auctioned of by it's owner like it's an old pair of shoes. Like it doesn't matter, like he doesn't give a fuck who get's it and what happens to it.


I can't think of a worse way to end the SR era than this.

I told Simon he's a shit. I was so dissapointed, so agry, felt so fucked, so screwed and so like a fool that it was all I could master.

His reaction was...

"Fuck u all."

And that is exactly what he has done...


So let these be my last words to Simon; FUCK YOU TOO.
