More drama from PassThePopcorn (PTP), a hugely popular dedicated movie torrent tracker. It was only a month ago that PTP switched over to a new management due to an internal dispute – although it was announced earlier that the site would shut down, new management wowed to continue operations. Things have since been fine with PTP, until a strange message was Tweeted from the tracker’s official Twitter account earlier today. According to the Tweet, PTP had run out of donations money and was going to close down. The Twitter account had more than 500 followers and needless to say some loyal users of the site panicked. However, there is nothing to worry about – apparently it was just the site’s previous owners messing about, trying to create confusion among members.
Quoted below is the message Tweeted from http://twitter.com/passthepopcorn several hours ago:
After being open for just over 2 years, PTP will close its doors. We have run out of money and can no longer afford our cars off donations.
This however was denied by PTP staff – according to what esophagus posted on the forums, staff no longer have access to the said Twitter account:
Current PTP staff don't have access to that Twitter account. Feel free to ignore Pham/DAQ/whatever old sysop that is and anything they are spouting.
This wouldn’t normally make into news on this blog but having featured the same Twitter account a couple of months ago in our “BitTorrent Trackers on Twitter – 25 Torrent Sites You Can Follow” article, we felt we should let our readers know. At least for now, you should check PTP forum if you want updated site news.

Who da fck cares?!!
@father
At least show some respect to our dear blogger. This is one of my two favourites news blogs. I do care cause i'm in PTP.
Meh, all the drama always scares people away from sites, I wish that people/staff would stop being such children, seems like every time a site gets really good, they get cocky and start in-fighting.
Thats why I love SeedBytes, there the staff always agree and they have uploaders dedicated to bringing you the most recent HD material.
check em out.

@microd20:
You are the worst spam troll with your crappy seedbox scam and wannabe tracker ads.
But you already know that don't you?
An advice to all newbies: stay far away from any of this guy's sites.
He's a scammer.
yes , follow evil say. whoever ads seed-bytes.com is scammer. seed-bytes.com = shit-bite.com.
Thats really funny that you mentioned it being...
Shit Bytes....especially since youre are the same person
How about this...you let people check out a site and get their own opinion rather than listed to a a prick who sucks his own?
