Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 04:35, 26 September 2007

For more information on the shutdown, go to the Demonoid IRC Channel

Server: irc.p2p-network.net Channel: #demonoid

Like I said: No, the bittorrent tracker is one of the most visited sites on the entire internet. The band is practically unknown.

And it's a 2 way disambig, which are usually disambigued with the "This article is about the BitTorrent tracker. For the metal band, see Demonoid (band)" tag. And in this case when there's such a ridiculous margin of notability, demonoid clearly should not be a 2 entry disambiguation page but rather be the actual page for the tracker.

I just made this a REDIRECT to preserve the edit history, I'll let the admins merge and mop up, etc. Demonoid (BitTorrent) should be moved to Demonoid. --froth 02:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

This page is more active than the other page demonoid. Do you think that this should be named Demonoid or should there be a disambiguation?  Xeysz  ☼  23:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

unambiguously disambiguousely disambiguous... probably. Cowicide 12:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Does this article really need that enormous image of the entire demonoid.com home page? It seems a little ridiculous dystopianray 01:51, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Please

Quality

Perhaps the quality of demonoid's torrents should be noted here. I've heard that their albums are mislabeled, in the best case being all lowercase letters, in the worst, poorly spelled and misdated. Anything? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.100.218.156 (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Haha, obviously you're either terribly misled or willyfully misleading. People often even post FLAC copies with .cue files and all, can't get much more complete than that. Maybe you're just self-righteously attacking piracy, and there are arguments to be made there sure, but you're not exactly helping your cause with blatantly false accusations. Then again, I guess I only download GOOD music. Maybe if you're downloading the new Simple Plan album the 9-year-old that posted it didn't tag it properly, I dunno.

LOCKING THE ARTICLE

People are using this as some sort of forum, I have just reverted a forum like sentence, please lock the article from people or at least put a warning up!. I'm too new at it to put a warning up... LOTRrules 20:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

If anyone has any information about demonoid going offline, do us a favor and post it here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.101.10 (talk) 20:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

TorrentFreak.com is reporting that the Canadian Recording Industry Association has taken the site and trackers offline. Demonoid was operating out of Canada. Article here: Leahzero 21:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Current Shutdown Section

People keep re-adding this section, the section does not state reliable sources, albeit it states sources, but not reliable ones, it is pure speculation nothing set in stone. If people want to add this section again, my only suggestion is to rewrite it, find reliable sources and don't make it look like its an update service. ScorpO 01:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I have removed most of the section, leaving only what has been reported by Torrentfreak.com, and have requested semi-protection for the article until things blow over. Sfacets 01:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I just went to the CRIA website and it says nothing about the recent shutdown of demonoid. Should this be mentioned, that they are not gloating? Stargate70 01:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

They are probably lying low, given that they have just annoyed millions of people. Sfacets 01:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Also "current shutdown" doesn't belong in an article. We're not a play-by-play website. If people want to report it like that, they should visit wikinews. This is a non-issue. their irc channel states its unscheduled maintenance, hardly a notable event.--Crossmr 01:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

It is widely being reported that it is down because of the CRIA - can any other sources (besides what it says on the IRC (which regularly reports that the site is down for maintenance anyway) negate this? Sfacets 01:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

A dutch news site, and a blog are hardly "widely reported" if you have other sources which aren't just quoting the dutch news article feel free to provide them.--Crossmr 03:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Widely reported, as in widely circulated. Sfacets 03:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Blogs picking up a single news source doesn't make it more reliable.--Crossmr 04:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I like he way it is phrased now: "Nu, a dutch news site, has since reported this is due to legal actions from the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) who ordered Demonoid's ISP to shut down the site.". Sfacets 04:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Because that is the appropriate source. Torrentfreak in this case is a tertiary source as its citing the news article. Whenever possible we should be citing the original source.--Crossmr 04:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
