Yikes, almost 1 year without any updates!
Well, as some of you might have noticed, we've been puttering away on some smaller features, but most of that is transparent to normal visitors. Things like revising the search and torrentHound rating so that it gives more accurate results. Optimizing the database and cleaning things up so the site runs smoother. Since early December we've been doing quite a bit to make the site faster and more available. When pages load slowly, a report is generated with the time and which page that loaded slowly and refunds are issued for the 8 second of your life we wasted.
The unified categories have been created and torrents have been sorted, the first implementation will be on the search page, where visitors will be able to show only results in Videos or Music for example.
As to all the messages we've been getting about people wanting to be moderators... we appreciate the sentiment, but we do our best to keep things automated, as all of the site currently is. We've also been getting alot of requests to allow user uploads of torrents, however we have noticed that almost all of the torrents that were uploaded during a test period were fakes (shame on you, spammers). If you want your torrent on torrentHound, you can add it to pretty much any other (edit: public) torrent site that accepts uploads and we will hoover it up within a few hours.
Keep the feedback coming! It's always great to read thank-you's and of course the few insults we get every once in a while usually get a chuckle too (and occasionally an equally constructive reply).
