Demonoid is back

One of the most useful site I know in the world is back online. For those who does not know what demonoid is, kindly go over and check it out at wikipedia. For those who have a demonoid account, welcome back to the party. For those who do not have a demonoid account, just too bad.

Even Wikipedia is pretty happy about the return of demonoid.

To quote what was on the entry dated 16th April 2008, time of this post:

On April 14, 2008 : Demonoid.com finally came back online

WELCOME BACK DEMONOID WE LOVE YOU

The return also marks the change in adminstration (leadership) with Deimos handling over to Umlauf.

Deimos made a statement over at subDemon on 10 April 2008:

Hello Everyone,

It is with great sadness (and not a little relief) that I announce that I will be stepping down as admin of Demonoid, with effect from today.
Demonoid is currently suffering from a number of things, prime amongst these being my distraction with real-world issues, and so I have handed the reins over to a new administrator - a close friend of mine, which I trust completely and has the knowledge and time to take care of the site.

He will, in due course, be making his own announcements about the future of Demonoid. Of course, speculation over the future of the site is fun, but it is ultimately fruitless - you will all, in the near future, become aware of what the future holds. I trust that you will all give your support to the new admin as he finds his feet while he resurrects Demonoid.

Thanks again for your support in making Demonoid what it was and is.
Goodbye and good wishes - it has been a blast!

- Deimos

And Umlauf open this statement with:

“Welcome back!

Since a few months ago, Deimos, the site administrator, lacks the necessary time to take care of the website, because of personal matters he’s been needing to attend to. For this reason, he has decided to leave the site staff.

Before leaving, he assigned a new site administrator from among his friends to take care of the site. The old moderator team will continue helping with the site, unchanged. We will try to keep running everything just as it always has been.

The trackers and website seem to be working properly, and should any issues arise, they will be taken care of as soon as possible. The site might be going on and offline over the next days as we work out any problems.

Welcome back, and enjoy your stay!

- Umlauf

Demonoid Site admin”

Welcome back Demonoid.

Disclaimer: I do not advocate piracy or anything of those sort. But I take a stand that bittorrent opens up knowledge (file) sharing for many. Try searching for out of print books is almost impossible but some might get lucky with Demonoid.
