Hi all,

Today is an important day in the history of Mininova.
From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution
service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht
of last August.

Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no
other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content
Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to
prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or
to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems
the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically
nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system.
Therefore, we decided that the best option is to limit Mininova to
Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an
appeal at this moment.

We launched our Content Distribution
service in 2007. This service allows producers and artists to easily
publish and distribute their content for free through Mininova. The
launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless
content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their
content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users.
For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete
album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so.
The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content
Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.

We
would like to thank you for your support and making it possible to
reach the 10 billion downloads mark last week. Especially our
moderating team receives a big “thank you!” for all their hard work! We
hope to keep welcoming you on Mininova and our other projects (e.g.
Snotr, Dispostable).

Thanks! The Mininova staff


Fun while it lasted, although it ended a LONG time ago for me ...

Well it was a long time coming. The death knell was ringing when they brought that wierd filter system. I suppose the masses will go elsewhere. Shame it was an easy site to navigate around. Unlike some of the others with the complicated rules etc.

Going to mean a right pickle with the torrents that have mininova tagged to them.

Can't believe they wiped the lot off. In software were many free to use items and they've all gone. I suppose their hands were tied.

After reading MT's post, I can say this. There are some people suited to being Admin and Moderators, others should remain in their pram with strings on their toys. The 10 second deleter is definitely one of those who should remain in the comfort of the pram until weaned on solid manners.

I've seen enough ego trips by power crazed admins and mods to last an etentiy. Never nice to watch a forum being ripped to shreds by the likes of those idiots. Never nice to be caught inthe buffer of warring admins and moderators either. Less is more, simple rules that all obey. It works. Ego trips belong in the pram or playground not in a forum.

Puts me right off when I see the ugly head of power-crazies rearing up and clique groups forming. The end of Mininova 318451


Shame about mini, The end of Mininova 493313 it was a nice site, aside from the spats on the forum. Easy and simple to navigate. Shame more don't follow that example and do away with the 1000 rules per day you have to do to stay active, that accompany such similiar sites.

im pissed its gone .ive got used to being spoon fed,
it looks like ive got to learn how to feed my self again from now on ,
all the public sites ive viewed dont come close,
why the hell they didnt clone there data base and put it in the public domain i dont know ,
i know there is a lot of bad feeling about the forum
but the main site was pretty neutral,

I actually joined the mininova forum through TW my first ever forum at that time he said to me its a good place for a laugh and I would learn some more about downloading etc.

I have got to say I am still a member on it but hardly post anything on it unless Im stuck with something. but it has went down hill since the new mods took their role a bit serious I will miss the main site I used to get a fair bit of things from it but I wont be stuck cause through the forums I have met some good friends and have helped me out with different sites and invites etc u know who yous are that's my peace on it.
