expected upgrade etc.

Since recent floods and fires, many have not returned.
Result: mostly Art, Warg, Phuzzy, Kev and ghost (and yours truly) have been posting, especially ghost.

OTOH same as it ever was, e-mule is not dying.

So I've decided to up a bit.
Uhm which means I'm going to improve availability of files,
Higher band width,
More shares with accurate information,
and longer shares.

Focus is more on subtitles,
completeness of series,
more international titles.

Changes will take place from the 1st of december, 2019
If you have particular requests, let us know!

kind regards
popdrome

Hi, sounds good. Just wondering what do you mean by recent floods and fires?

I'm glad Jezevex is still posting.
But where did guys go like PTGuardian, Katzenjammer, loverboy, Rich, emuler ?
And many others?
When I joined, ghost, there were like, 40+ posters. Where have they gone?

Rich hasn't been around since a little after I first got here in 2009. Many/most people didn't return when we had the sudden shutdown in 2011, and afterwards there were only a few people posting at all, let alone releasing. Nobody's heard from FLL since then - he just disappeared. Katzenjammer was an admin but decided he needed to do other things and hasn't returned since 2012. loverboy had a kerfuffle with another member in 2014. emuler hasn't been by for close to two years. Ptg and starfish found they weren't getting much return for their efforts. They drop in anonymously once in a while but not regularly, which is a shame because they're missed.

People change. Things change. FLM has been here for 15 years which is forever by internet standards, and things move on. ghost is the true old-timer :icon_old - he was the 3rd member after Rich and infiniter (who hasn't been here for a year). It took him quite a while to find us again, but look at him now - he's the top releaser/upgrader by a long shot. There may not be a lot of us posting, but we're still doing all right.

Fire, flood, sudden shutdown. Things you can't control..

Thanks for enlightening me, Phuz. I didn't know all that, except for that 'things change' and people do - very true.
I for one, go out half of the year for business sitting in trains long days and talking with people about talking with people, when I have no time keeping aMule up.

Thanks Phuzzy and the other admins and silent contributors behind the stage keeping this site up.
Thanks for keeping this an open place. And all present and future contributors!

I'm sure one day I'll buy you a drink. Or two. :all_coholic :bigups :bdaysmile

Hey guys here's a little update on my anounced upgrade. :lol:

I have now better bandwidth! Yay!
Which means I can share more, (and download faster, small detail)

but what I still don't have ATM:

- a cute girlfriend
- time
- a 16 core cpu computer with
- 4TB of SSD

Nope. Working on that though..

Have fun with my new shares and make sure to leave me a like.

greetings,
popdrome

Wow, thanks that you named me among the FLM nobility :icon_bis (didn't notice it when you wrote this) - but for the sake of fairness we then have to add deadman too ...

BTW Art. I cannot remember to have seen his nick the last 2 years or so ... :think
