No wait, that makes perfect, evil sense. They rip like, the first two dvd's of a show, and then refuse to rip the rest but offer "deals" on them through their shop. The stupider of the leachers would really fall for it (though I suppose that's even more immoral and illegal than normal dvd-rip groups).

To clarify my words:
- Afaik Anime-Xtreme.com was run by the same people as another popular anime torrents site, which is still online right now. Main difference between them was that AX listed DVD rips. - It is a _fact_ that the people who run that other anime torrent site (and thus most likely AX.com as well) are trying to setup a online DVD shop. I've already visited it. They're just not quite ready yet. - With "But I can only speculate if this is the case..." I was referring to whether the opening of the DVD shop and the closing of AX.com has any relation to eachother. - And afaik, yes, last time I checked AX only offered complete series and/or seasons for download. |

If I remembered right, AX also did WildStriker with Sekai but that died about a year (or two) ago.
To add to GHDPro, additional reasons why AX died. One of the Admins was getting hammered about how slow he was ripping DVDs by leechers and making them available so he basically told everyone to screw themselves. As the saying goes, crime doesn't pay :P |

Anyone know what's up with Anime Coalition?
I just went to check their website, which I tend to do about every 2 weeks, and it would seem that thier domain has been assimilated.
Anyone know what's up with AC? http://www.animeco.org/ |

Our webhost died. And I believe we had the DNS with them as well, as irc.animeco.org could not be resolved for a while. It works now because the domain has been transferred to another server.
We are in the process of setting up a new site, but I have no idea when that will be up and running. Until then just follow the topic in our irc channel, or look at our BT site for any new releases (none lately, though more nadja should come before the end of the year). |

What happened to the SEED Fansub website?
Does anyone know what happened to SEED Fansubs? Their site seems to be down and none of their bittorrent dl stuff works. I was counting on having their sub of GSD episode 8 out today...but I'm kinda worried now.

A-K's domain resolves to the machine where www.downloadanime.org is hosted. I heard they had some troubles with spam so they closed the site as a temporary measure.
WannabeFansubs is still there, they just had a server failure. |
