Seems like most tpb users are now on KA

[Hmm888]

Even their forums are "busy". What a pity.

It wouldn't be a pity if most TPB users were on KAT.

It would be a pity if most KAT users were on TPB.  

I've had an account on KAT since shortly after it launched. It gives me more options--when we are down, they are up; when they've deleted torrents following DMCA requests, we haven't--it costs nothing, and neither site even attempts to prevent people using the other. Anyone smart enough to use TPB is smart enough to realize the value of redundancy.

As for their forums, your use of quotation marks shows you realize that 95% of their posts are mere fluff. And most of the rest are nonsense--the quality of the advice given out there is appalling. There is no way in hell I would want anyone stupid enough to post there posting here.

2 heads are better than none,
both TPB and KAT are one of the front liners of P2P sharing communities alongside with other p2p "band of brothers(/sisters)"
I just wish there's more

All animals are social but some animals are more social than others. And guys here aren't! Even for me my computer talks with the world (a.k.a p2p) all the time is enough so I don't bother anymore. KAT is actually a good site, I like it but their DMCA shit is indeed a shit. Otherwise all are part of hydra; people spend their time here or there makes no difference.

I use KA if I can't find the torrent i'm looking for here but 9/10 times its always on TPB so I'd rather have a back up if TPB goes down....

plus if one goes down you can bet money that the other leaders of the P2P giants will get a archived version of the site up and running within a week if its something major.

What's better, KAT or a ratio site?

KAT forums are a big happy circle jerk.

Like an annoying sibling, it would be terrible if anything bad happened to them.


I've been tempted to join a few times, but realized no one there actually cares about having a real discussion. They just like to rack up meaningless internet points and collect inane achievement badges.

For those who like those things, by all means join.


(If there really was a circle jerk achievement, I'd have that one in platinum.)

Like others said having 2 major torrent sites around is useful in case one doesn't have what you're looking for or it doesn't have enough seeders. I don't think that KAT following DMCA is a good idea, but that's their choice.

They just like to rack up meaningless internet points and collect inane achievement badges.

I'd +1 you if I could, the social parts of the site are a mix of Facebook and game system achivements. Which is why I haven't bothered posting in their forums. Also, please don't ever add that into Suprbay. A April Fool's Day thing would be funny, but nothing else.

I like that KAT is a tad bit more "indexed" than TPB, but I like this community more than KAT's.

I also have more respect for TPB for all its gone through, it has been quite the journey, if I must say.  

I believe KAT will never reach the level of infamy TPB has gained, and I believe we all should be proud to be pirates of ThePirateBay. We all share a common goal (freedom) and obstacle (Government), but sites like KAT will indeed follow up DMCA, to protect its own existence.



TPB's pirates are cooler than KAT's, but in the same sense, we are all pirates who want to do whatever we want, and I believe we have to be united to achieve our dreams together. Because, in all its entirely, TPB is against the world (or at least most of the governments) and we have to be strong in numbers to oppose anybody/anything that stands in our path.


But then again, that's just my opnion :

the quality of the advice given out there is appalling.

qft
..except I wouldn't have used the word quality in the same sentence as describing the worthless and often harmful advice offered.
The blind shall lead the blind, with great vociferousness.

At least on tpb when you put it up it stays up.
