IS IT THE FINAL DAYS OF BITSOUP!!!!!



Many feel that we have sent this broadcast out over and over. While you may think everyone has a chance to read the broadcasts many people only log into Bitsoup a few times a week or even month. This is is part why these broadcasts go out so often. If you really want to enjoy the services of Bitsoup but don't want broadcasts sent to you then donate and become VIP or even more so donate to become Platinum VIP. If we don't reach the goal in the next 72hrs then these broadcasts will be the least of everyone's problems.

Being the first torrent site to offer a credit for donation system in the early days Bitsoup did really well on the donation front and has always had plenty of donor’s to help keep the site growing. In the big crash of 2008 even Bitsoup took a big hit donation wise. While many people say we make tons of cash running this site it’s farthest from the truth. All the staff on Bitsoup are volunteers. Most of us have day jobs we to pay our own bills just like you, our valued members.

The core group of Bitsoup people have been here since day one and are still here today. To explain this message to everyone I’d like to reflect on a few things we at Bitsoup have learned over the years.

Over the past couple years we've had to offer larger amounts of credit just to boost our donors. While it worked for a while it has come back to bite us, as with so many members having insane ratios there is now no desire to donate. We have tried prizes in the past that for some worked great, now in days prizes seem to be worthless.. Thus, we had to stop offering prizes. In the past we have had to run hardware promos when gear is near end of life. That has come back to bite us as well as we're being hammered on needless fundraisers.

Effective Jan 1st 2014 we began to seriously consider our options and talking about which avenues to take to resolve the financial issues . We have had to limit the access to invites making it a perk of donating. We have had to limit RSS to VIP and above to limit the taxing on our gear and to offer it as a perk of supporting our great site.

Our huge promos in the past years have managed to upkeep us, but as we now run less and smaller promos it seems that the donating support we are receiving has been brought down to those few that support us on a monthly bases.

We are gratefully thankful for these supporting members, but even together we are still too few to foot the bill for a long periods of time. 9 years being on the forefront of the torrent world has been highly enjoyable.

With the insane amount of credit given over the past years people are now waiting to see even more insane credit promo's before donating.

This has come back to bite us as we are unable to or willing to offer such large promo's. With summer here now things are even worse. Even offering a insane summer promo to try and get funding up isn't working.

Bitsoup relies on people. It relies on people willing to carry the responsibility for this site. It relies on people willing to put in their time and effort to maintain this site, and it relies on people willing to put in time and effort to share what they have, or what has been brought here by others for them.

More than anything though, Bitsoup relies on people that are willing to support us and help us to make sure that all of the mentioned above is and remains possible.

We hope the members of Bitsoup understand that without you, Bitsoup will not be here much longer. Last chance to get your ratio set before credit becomes a thing of the past.


While some members already know how important a site like Bitsoup is. We are not out of the danger zone yet. Due to being behind on our bills our main creditor expects monies on Aug 1st.
We are still short quite a bit. I understand summer time the site isn't as active content wise but from the numbers I do see its still quite active member wise.

Many people have said that they are afraid to donate due to site might still get shut down. I can assure you that if Aug 1st comes and we have not paid our bills off the site will close for some but not all. We will be forced to downgrade into a smaller configuration thus making it much harder to support a larger user base Let alone the peer base. So people donate what you can so we can buy some time to create a new format that everyone can enjoy bitsoup. All we need to do is cover Aug bills to truly be out of danger for a least a while.

August 1st is only a few days away where we will once again be faced with the never ending onslaught of site costs and operations. Please keep this in mind as the Bitsoup grind never stops.


If you haven't given your site your support yet, please do so. If you're not able to do so at this time, then please do so next month, as your site needs your support every month, just not when things hit the fan. As a community, your site is only as strong as you the member makes it. So please give what you can, whenever you can.

Please keep your site strong every month as you'll never know how much you'll miss us, until we're gone!
