Some people looooove drama

Posted on 23. January, 2011. by Jarudin

C/P from IRC

[20:34] <Person> Hello, since you’re a legit owner of BBT, I would aks you to do something, I already asked for my group to be added to the do not upload list, which I think is my right? But Duki refuses it. I don’t want to have to go further and do like dattebayo and tag my releases with a hardcoded text saying “not to be uploaded on BBT”. So I would ask you to grant my wish to be in the DNU list, thanks a lot
[20:35] <Jarudin> we normally don’t do this
[20:35] <Jarudin> Dattebayo was ‘very convincing’
[20:36] <Person> I know, but I wouldn’t have to go as far as them to be on that list
[20:37] <Jarudin> Sorry, we cater to popular demand. If that means stepping on a few toes, so be it
[20:38] <Person> Bad then, I didn’t want to have to copyright owner even if I’ll also suffer from that
[20:38] <Person> writte*

Oh dear me .. here comes the drama.
Can we avoid it? Continue reading →

Final farewell for greenseed

Posted on 05. January, 2011. by Duki

BakaBT seems to have lost another user, which has left our entire staff devastated.

Our faithful user who has been with us for the past month has abruptly decided to leave us upon realising that all anime is licensed and that authorities in Norway are hard to crack down on all illegal anime downloaders going as far as attaching electrodes to your balls and zapping you a number of times for every anime episode/song you acquired.

Illegal Norway downloaders beware.

So it is with a sad hearth we bid him farewell~
He will be forever missed 😥

Staff Tree, v2

Posted on 23. December, 2010. by Xiong Chiamiov

Some time ago, an outside contractor produced her vision of the staff family tree.  Due to the changes that have happened since then, we thought we’d give you an updated look into the relationships that shape BakaBT.

A little hard to read? Well, we have a little explanation for each. Continue reading →

4 Things I Don’t Miss

Posted on 25. November, 2010. by kureshii

So, it seems people are finally getting used to the idea that I’ve stepped down. Among the first questions I always get asked in response to this is “Why?”. The primary reasons are already outlined above, but surely there’s more to it than that, you wonder? Of course.

1) People PMing you with inane questions
“Hi I am new here I saw you are a staff so can I ask how do I get rid of warning and download animes?”
“Hi I am warned how do I seed?”

2) IRC Tattletales
“kureshii .kb [Trollface] plox”

3) Being pinged for no reason whatsoever
“Oh you can ask kureshii he’s staff he should know”

4) Kids
Fuck you and your specified limits, admins always have their head too far up their ass […]
“I was seeding this torrent halfway why you delete pls give me a good reason or I will quit”

I believe the quotes explain each point clearly enough (although usually with worse grammar than in the above examples). These four things I certainly don’t miss in my newly-found normal-guy life 🙂

Some fun from staff lair

Posted on 08. November, 2010. by Duki

With the recent hardware failure we lost some our database among which were a few blogs… So to make up for the lost – time for some staff leak.

Here’s a small collection of snippets from some of our discussions lead in our super sekrit lair~

[14:50] <&Duki> Is it my fault that most ignored when I asked for your opinion?
[14:51] <@MTR> Of course not, Duki.
[14:51] <@MTR> !blame
[14:51] <+BBT> Newy did it! Continue reading →

Fail of the week

Posted on 23. September, 2010. by Duki

Recently we had a user who get into a heated discussion and apparently didn’t value anyone’s opinion other than his own, very true to his username actually. Discussion there gets a little heated which causes the user to lose his temper. Unfortunately beside the warnings given by from other users, asking him to cool down a bit, he finds that the best option is to start insulting and cursing other members…

From this point, staff gets involved – 5 day forum ban was to be expected, hopefully to get him to cool down a bit and realise the error of his ways. This however, does not help the situation as the user is now harassing other members through private messages on the tracker… That happens to be the last straw, and the user is now fully banned from BakaBT.

The story would have ended there, however, the ban triggers our system to disable a second account, one of a user who was participating in the argument as well… Plot thickens… Continue reading →

Membership Milestone Reached!

Posted on 18. August, 2010. by Chiyachan

Twenty three days ago, BakaBT reached a milestone figure of registered accounts. We hit the big 1,000,000 member mark. In order to celebrate this achievement I sent out a PM to the person who signed up BEFORE and AFTER to see if they’d be willing to talk to me about their experiences and the like.

What follows is a modified copy of the “interview”(ref #1) with member #999999 Suey. Continue reading →
