Merry Christmas and Happy New(Old) Site!

The first ever re-seed contest for the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015!

This holiday season we wanted to do something special for the site. We've amassed such a massive collection and we've done it at such breakneck speeds; it's awe-inspiring, and it's amazing what we've all accomplished. When we got together and thought about what we could do as a gift, of course our very first thought turned to a new type of contest.

Traditionally we've used contests to promote the growth of the archive and give everyone a chance to contribute whether it be uploading or downloading or whatever. Well, we've come up with something new.

Welcome to the first ever re-seed contest. What better gift to get than a site where you'll find less dead torrents, what better way to start a new year than with our archive as strong as possible!!

Without further ado, here's how it works:

Any body can re-seed any torrent, you did not have to be on the snatch list, just go out there and find the same file

Any torrent with a trumpable reason of "Dead (participating in the contest)" is eligible for the contest

Re-seeded torrents get bumped to the front page upon re-seeding, and they count toward the re-seeders total on the leaderboard

Any torrent that counted for the contest, but is unseeded for >48 hours when the contest ends, will be removed from the count on the leaderboard

BUT WAIT THERES MORE!

Here at PTP we take quality seriously. We've given our Golden Popcorn Evaluation System an overhaul as part of our commitment to make sure we have a heavy focus on providing the best quality possible:

We've recruited a new GP evaluation team made up of veteran encoders
They vote on each potential GP encode, standardizing and expediting the process. This way you can be absolutely sure that if something is GP here it is the best quality encode around!
