eD2K Server:
As most if not all of our users by now 2007 also brought forth the closure of some major eD2K servers.....so in response TVU started our own. After a few days a story was picked up by Slyck and lead to an interview....since then our server has been upgrade, better configured and continues to be sponsored by our users.
New and retired/missing staff:
There has been too many changes so instead of making a list and forgetting someone I'm not gonna mention any of them.
But we are glad/sad to have you on/off our team.Web drama:
As some of our users were here to witness we had a brief run in with MoTV over the posting of certain rips early to the mainpage. It has since been resolved and we wish them all the best in the upcoming year.
To our users:
Seriously people......THANKS a million for your continued support and submissions. For the most part we have some great users that make TVU an enjoyable place.....and to the problem children.....come by IRC and sL will sort you out.
But seriously.....thanks for staying with us and we hope to see you in the many years to come. Random Fact:
Our database is built off a spidered version of TRW that at the time contained 75,214 links......TVU now boasts over 180,000.
Conclusion:
We at TVU would like to thank everyone that had a part in building TVU into what it is today. There has been many many many hours spent on making TVU better and there's no way we could've done it without everyone doing their part......be it for us specifically or eD2K/KAD in general. We also would like to take this chance to wish everyone a safe New Years and many more pirate days ahead. {YAAHHHRRRRR}
Thanks,
sLAUGHTER, CheGuevara, DarkPariah, Prower and Staff
