Happy 6th Birthday!!!

As you may have noticed, today is our sixth birthday fellow pirates! It's been a grand year, filled with lots of movies and quite a few changes to both the front and back end of PtN. The changes are too numerous to list in an announcement, but we'll go over a few further down the page. We have several contests to talk about as well. We wish to thank all the SKALiWAGZ encoders above all else for their wonderful releases week after week. With that said, without further ado, lets get to the news.

Features

People Pages:
First, we introduce People Pages. We have been running this live for a few weeks now, and have worked out most of the kinks. On people pages we have made available, with tabs for cast, director and writer, much more in depth information about whoever you're curious about. People pages can be accessed from movie details pages, and we also added a search function with autosuggest.

Subtitles:
A few more weeks ago, we added a subtitles section where users can upload the subtitles to any movie they have available. It's quick and easy to add more subtitles so we invite everyone to upload all the subtitles they have, especially to movies from PtN.

Similiar Movies:
Similar movies is our way of introducing you to other movies in the same vein as the one you are viewing. Similarity is based on genre, name and storyline, and in lieu of a tag system will serve to bring you other movies you may be interested in. It is being rolled out today, so look for it in a movie details page near you.

A new gold system!
Finally, we have come up with an equitable system for gold, which rewards size, length of seeds and number of seeds. I can tell you that it is far more rewarding to seed long term and most of you will notice the difference right away. More details about how this gold system works in detail can be found here

Contests:

Raffle Mania:
For our first contest, we are bringing back the VERY popular raffle from last years birthday celebrations! The rules are simple, you buy between one and ten tickets, and you have the chance to win 1,000,000 gold to do with what you please. It will run for about a week so get your tickets as soon as possible! The thread to buy your tickets is here

Birthday Card Comp:
For all you photoshop fans out there, this contest is for you. Simply create an electronic birthday card with the PtN logo in it, and you could win gold and corsair status. The rules are quite simple and every entry, whether good or bad, will get a prize awarded to them, so keep the entries coming! The thread to post your entries can be found here


Snatch till you Bleed:
This contest is the easiest to enter, all you need to do is download your favorite movies, seed them and keep track of them. This will prove to be a lucrative contest for the winners, so get some space ready on your hard drives and get ready for a wild ride! The details, rules and prizes can be found here

News:


Invites:
We have an opportunity for every one of you with friends to invite and no invites to give them, for the next week each of you, regardless of userclass have been given 2 invites. Now there is a catch, these(and all invites, except for donors and staff) will expire March 26th, so use them while you can, but PLEASE, only invite people you know and trust, for your safety. We look forward to some new blood folks, so get your friends here!

Double Donations
As many of you have noticed lately, donations have been pretty slim, so in an effort to bring those numbers up and help keep this ship sailing, we are bringing back Double Donations for the month following our birthday. So please, if you can dig into your change jar and spare somthing for the ship, we will give you double the perks listed on the donations page.

Diamonds:
Well folks, we have some sad news for many of you who are obsessed with collecting shiny things. We have decided to turn off diamonds until we have a better grip on the diamond shop and everything that entails. I am also an obssesser and love to collect them, but they haven't done any good for a while, so we have disabled them for the foreseeable future. We will work as time permits to bring them back, but unfortunately we have no eta for the moment.



Well that about wraps it up for this announcement folks, other than to say that all the staff here hope you have had a great year this past year, and continue to have a great time wherever in the world you may be. It's with your support that we've stayed online for six whole years, and with your continued support we'll make it six thousand more!
