VIP and upgraded only private tracker.
IDE can make it happen, you know. Thanks for the project idea.

A takedown Is a takedown- It makes no difference whether It's private or how well protected they "seem" to be.
Copyright Infringement Is taken very seriously, and those who think they can escape even with the best legal representation, are kidding themselves. They may stall the process via appeals and some loophole, but eventually they'll get done.

Most likely shut down to avoid further legal actions.
Domain has not been seized.

Similar to the way Installous went.

So you reckon they just got scared? Well, that's totally plausible, interesting point of view.

I'd say this Is more so the case than not.
A lot of sites tend to either cease operation altogether, or alter the way they operate. For example, when MegaUpload went down, "FileServe" stopped their sharing functionality to avoid any legal Issues. They're still up and running, but only used to "store" the registered user's own files.

Psychological domino effect pretty much, the feds are smart.
