well for now it would be best to be offline anyway as u can all see what i going on these days with what.cd shutting down and many trackers are also at risk

This is an official explanation, direct from a Waffles Admin:
OK. here, finally is the story. Waffles went down for financial reasons, and stayed down due to staff issues that will not be hashed in public, don't bother asking. Lack of communication was because of the staff element, I was hoping the downtime would last a day or two at most at the beginning, but that obviously isn't what happened. This happened at a really inopportune time, we were just as surprised at what happened since we went down as you were.
We've changed hosts to get a situation that is within our current means. We still owe a debt to the old host that will need payment, and we still need money to pay it. Because we're changing hosts (and equipment), we don't know how long it will take before we are able to come back up. But I will make sure our twitter and this space are updated with news as it comes, particularly if an ETA arrives.
Some answers to frequently asked questions: No, we're not adopting gazelle. The amount of development time it would take to do that is not available. For now, things will be as they were when we went down.
No data appears to be lost, we have the site code as it was when we went offline.
We're keeping the current invite policy in place when we reopen. We recruit at a couple of private torrent sites, plus invites are open. So will we offer something more liberal? That depends on what we find our current capacity to be after we get set up.
That's all for now. Let's hope the migration goes simple and easy.
....as I would have gladly donated again. I usually do it around this time of the year anyway. Right before free leech. Sadly after they went down the last time and changed to .ch, things just didnt even begin to come back as they were before. Seemed like more than half of the users never returned and a LOT of the torrets were not close to seeded as well as they usually were.
Waffles had become my new oInk, even had the pink theme going. Sad to see them go, once again, and I don't think I'll hold my breath for a comeback. I have NO idea where to get quality rips now, and what.cd is also gone, guess I'll have to settle for apple music or one of those deals.
If you guys are interested in music only in FLAC and other lossless audio codecs try losslessclub dot com. They are open for membership and you can apply for an invite. Will help get you through till waffles (or by some miracle even what.cd) comes back up again.
Hope to have waffles back again soon.. !
According to my Deluge program, my waffles torrents are now seeding again (3/1/17) although the actual Waffles site does not seem to be up other than to provide a link to reddit; anyone else know anything more now?
it's seems impossible now
