Orpheus News - Sweet, Sweet Updates

Sweet, Sweet Updates
It's been about a week since our last update, so here is a new one for y'all!


Log re-scoring
Thanks to our very dedicated team of moderators and developers, we have successfully re-scored nearly all seeded torrents with a log file. There are still a few torrents that have connectivity issues or are unseeded, which means that we are not able to re-score these at the moment. However, we will continue to work on this, to get even more logs re-scored in the future.

Toolboxes
Thanks to the hard work by ****, Orpheus now has his own toolboxes, for both Windows and Mac. These torrents will permanently be marked as Neutral Leech, which means that you can download them without affecting your ratio.

The toolboxes contain software that may be useful to you as a member of this site. For example, they contain audio codecs, tools for analyzing the quality of audio files, IRC clients, CD ripping programs and programs that can be used for transcoding. For a full list of programs, please check the torrent description.

The toolboxes can be found here (Windows) and here (MacOS)

Staff Changes
As you might have seen on the staff page, there have been some changes in the past weeks. Unfortunately, Batwings had to resign from their position as moderator due to real-life obligations. We wish them the very best of luck in their future endeavors.

We have also recruited a new staff member that some of you might remember from the old Apollo days. We are very happy to announce that Merlin is back on staff once again. **** is an excellent moderator and a very good addition to this team.

Bonus Points
Without you, our members, a site like Orpheus would be worthless. Therefore, we are very grateful for your continuous efforts and loyalty to the site. When we started this project, we knew it wasn't going to be easy, since we lost a substantial part of our user base and torrents. At the moment of writing this, we already have slightly under 10.000 members, and over a million seeders. With these million seeders, we have already reseeded about 70% of all Flac torrents, but this number is still increasing quite rapidly.

To express our gratitude to you, we will be giving out 10.000 Bonus Points to each user of the site. We encourage you to use these Bonus Points to buy FL tokens and download some music that you like. We will be giving out more BP in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled!

Torrent re-assignment and APL Buffer
As some of you might have read on the forums, some members have not yet received their (reduced) APL buffer and torrents back. This is because some recovery cases are very complicated and cannot be processed automatically. Members that used the recovery page to sign up but still don't have their buffer and torrents, should make a post in this thread. Please read the OP carefully before making a post.

Invites
Besides Bonus Points, we also want to give all of you some invites as a reward for the hard work you have done. All Users will receive * invite, Members will receive *, and Power Users and above will receive *.

Please keep our invite rules in mind when sending invites.
Golden Rule 2.2 wrote:
Do not trade, sell, publicly give away, or publicly offer invites.
Only invite people you know and trust. Do not offer invites via other trackers, forums, social media, or other public locations. Responding to public invite requests is prohibited. Exception: Staff-designated recruiters may offer invites in approved locations.

If we find you offering or selling invites in public, including invite sites such as TI.org, both you and your entire invite tree will be banned permanently, without any chance of appeal.

All invites will expire at the end of this year.

That's all for now, we hope you enjoy the Bonus Points and the wonderful community that is starting to take shape.

Love,
~OPS Staff
