Demonoid changes domain without any warning

[connor17]

Yesterday demonoid changed its domain from pw to cc.
The new address have new banners and you have to log in again. A new banner asks you to disable the addblocker. The forum link doesn't work. If you write the old forum address it loads ok, but no admins there, only a few users who don't have a clue.

The problem is that no one there have said anything about this. They have a tweeter account:
https://twitter.com/DemonoidP2P
and today they have posted with the new domain .cc like nothing happened.

My guess is that some new owner wants to monetize the site in a more aggressive way, yifi like.

I noticed that and had been waiting to see an explanation...haven't heard one yet.

No need to change domains to monetize more aggressively though, you can do that using whatever domain you're on (as TPB has done). And I'd expect a fanfare if there was a new owner/change in the air. Whether the change was truly positive or negative it would be trumpeted as positive.

My guess would be that it's a simple reaction to a real or perceived imminent domain name seizure. Again, nothing we haven't seen (and experienced outselves) many many times. It often results in a few breakages which are generally fixed in a day or two.

But I'll not be logging in there until I hear something official for reasons which I hope everyone here will understand.

The domain has changed again, and now the search page only loads if the adblocker is disabled. If the adblocker is enabled the page never loads.

Oh?

Well...it was a major player 10 years ago but it hasn't been relevant for at least half a decade.

Yeah, it's not too important now, but also most torrent sites change their domains all the time. How many has TPB had now?

from then it is problem to log in there ... now you have to disable your ad-blocker to check torrent now !

Even when I disable my adblocker on demonoid.to, the search feature won't load, and the new domain is dnoid.me, which is the same as it ever was. I don't know what demonoid.to is all about. It seems to serve no purpose.

After I posted this I found out Demonoid.to is a phishing site. They might have my login data, but nothing else. I'm using an anonymizer, so I'm not concerned.
