Welcome BitGamer Refugees

[Guest FAGuru]

GazelleGames

We have hit our user cap and do not plan on upping it any time soon. Anyone who tried to register at this point will be denied. We badly need a server upgrade and to let things settle a bit and then we might consider upping it again.



We'd like to welcome all of the new users coming from bitGamer. It's a sad happening that bitGamer closed down on New Year's evening but we hope that many of you will find a new home here on GazelleGames. The next days will be a little chaotic and I'm sure many of you will have quite a few questions about our tracker. That's why I would like to advise everyone PM'ing Staff or asking questions in the help channel to be precise and clear about what you need to know.

PLEASE read these items before uploading or asking questions to staff:

• Wiki ( /wiki.php ) - contains many general questions and answers
• Rules ( /rules.php ) - GGN works quite differently than bitGamer did, make sure you don't get banned!
• Refugee Forum ( /forums.php?action=viewforum&forumid=60 ) - There's a special forum for refugees to talk about where to go from here.
• Some notes on Uploading ( /forums.php?action=viewthread&threadid=2417 )

If you plan to upload, know that we use Gazelle as our CMS and uploading torrents will not be the same to you as it was on bitGamer. Our philosophy lies in quality over quantity. You also may want to have a look at an existing torrent description in order to get a feeling for how Gazelle works and how you create a new game group the proper way. Have a look at the Skyrim group for example before you upload anything: /torrents.php?id=2753
Its the most important thing to know about Gazelle, everything has a group and if you upload something that is related to that group then you do that via the [Add torrent] button on that group and not via upload.php.

If you still need help, feel free to open a thread in the support forums /forums.php, send a staff PM /staff.php or visit us in the IRC help channel #GGN-Help /irc.php.

Please note that we are currently facing tracker issues from the big user load. Our userbase doubled in the last 12 hours. If you get a "Torrent not registered" error or similar just wait, this will resolve itself after some time.

If you are using a seedbox, don't worry about PM'ing staff. You're more than welcome to use it here!

Also I want to encourage all bitGamer users to read this awesome FAQ by bigfluffytail a BG refugee aswell: /forums.php?action=viewthread&threadid=2380

I'm going to miss bitgamer so much.

:(

I checked it every day at exactly the same time.
