ADC-servers seized in police raid

Yesterday Swedish authorities raided a ISP (RixPort80 where PRQ is a branch) as they were looking for servers belonging to The Pirate Bay. At the same moment 50 officers raided the homes of people connected to TPB in over 10 locations all over Sweden.

What does this have to do with ADC? - We were customers of PRQ and it appears that the police has taken all their servers (to secure TPB evidence), including the ones that belong to other people, for example ADC. Hundreds of sites have been shut down, we are one of them.

The still have our servers and we are doing our best to get them back and have ADC up as soon as possible.

However I must say that people that used ADC do not need to worry about anything. You won't get in any trouble because of this. I will update this blog with new information as soon as I get it.

By the way it was ADC's birthday yesterday, I discovered that the site was down when I was going to update it with fun competition as well as launch a site I know you all have been waiting for a long time.

Some birthday, huh?

I know I sound like a paranoid ninny but how can we be sure that we won't be bothered since we were users?

In any case, this sucks...I hope it turns out alright.

As for Asspop. I was in Beachwood Ohio today, it's not bad there really. That besides the point. I want to thank whoever's still holding on to the torrents and seeding. I've been slowly getting one fine spring day forever, thank you.

Don't forget that since the police didn't have a warrant for the ADC servers they can't go through them. So if they play that card on you, ask them to fuck themself :)

Happy birthday

There's nothing to be said that haven't been actually said before, eh? But, god.. I love your site, guys... it's, BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE TO ME, a source of studying japanese language and culture. Thanks to it I developed a love for it enough for me being saving money already for 1 whole year so I can travel to Japan. I mean, which government wouldn't say thanks to sites like yours for that? Gosh, I live in BRAZIL! Sources like these are the ONLY ones! Keep it up, keep moving guys, and thanks a lot!

Well happybirthday. Hope you will get up this great site soon again.. (I wonder what "Anti-piratbyrån" got out of there police aided raind exept pissing people off and just being jurks as usual?)
Well see you all at the site soon I'm sure.

Too bad about the raid fellas. I'm missing ADC already, in spite of the Tik and other sites doing the biz. It's time to take stock and watch some of the good stuff ADC has given me over the past nine months. There is plenty of it, I'm glad to say.

It's not all that expensive in Japan now if you know the ropes. Just don't come expecting to have discussions about Japanese films (esp. the classics) with everyone. Most people prefer Ghost and Titanic.

kdkdiedie: you're leaving adc because of one post from one person, with no evidence. And then you assume we're all going with you. Yeeesh.

Yes I'm sure ADC is racist. If you don't like it, sod off. That goes for you as well Antiradical.

I for one anticipate the return of my favorite tracker. :-)

@westley,

as an uploader i know... haha

uh checkout emporium
or better yet, try javtalk forums.

best source.
there's also various chinese forum based sites that have that content but i assume you don't read chinese, so javtalk is your best bet.
