Is there a plan if this message board goes down?

Glad this place is up and running again.

[Helles]

I agree.  I checked the website many, many times a day like a crack addict.

YUP!

[Boonrassi]

yes, the plan is to be boned and hosed if the site goes down.

Should we start a Discord server?

Mirroring the uploads to Pirate Bay would be a good step forward. I'd do it, but apparently PB registrations are closed and there's no way to make an account. WTF....

What about Telegram?

[Skipjack1925]

Torrents are really the best way forward. Mega likes to censor and delete stuff. All the other "file host" sites are nothing but scams to get you to pay for "premium memberships" to the tune of $90 a year etc. These files need to be uploaded to torrent sites so they can be spread without restrictions. FFS, most people that watch these Rifftrax files keep them on their computers, so it's not a huge deal to seed torrent files. It's 2023... is bandwidth really still a problem?

I'm thinking more so we can point everyone in the right direction in case we end up moving forums or something like we did when KAT went down. Like yeah the torrents should absolutely be seeded but that wouldn't help the community stay connected.

When the servers go down, there's not much to be done on the user level.  We've seen the messages from the admin / owners regarding what is happening when things go wrong.  Not sure what can ever be done about a "community", but I'd surmise most users here are concerned with the file sharing, and torrents help that situation.  Personally, I enjoy the Rifftrax movies, less the social media aspect of the site....
