Pedro's BTMusic : We are 10 years old! (Signup's open for 2 weeks)

[Wild-Tiger]

Dear users,

We are about to hit our 10th birthday this Tuesday! As far as we are aware this makes us the oldest private site both online and ever in existence. We are now positively very close to launching the new site on the new hardware, and doing so in the same year we are hitting 10 years old will be quite a statement of how well we are doing.

For the time being we have a small gift for you: 2 weeks of open signup! Yes, your friends can now register freely for a limited period of time. However, to prevent the abuse there is a small limitation. For another 2 weeks, starting immediately, anybody can register an account (with exception of the blacklisted countries). Please note that the account itself will remain inactive until the signup period ends. Then, after a review, all the newly registered accounts will be unlocked (only if not found violating the Site Rules and our Open Signup Policy).

There is a short excerpt from the site rules accessible to anybody willing to register, so all of this is made clear there. You can immediately review it here.

(xbtmusic) OPEN SIGNUP POLICY

During the open signup you are welcome to create a single new account for yourself. It will not be accessible until reviewed and confirmed by a Staff member after the period of open signup ends. This may take up to a few weeks so be patient. Every confirmed user will be notified by email when their account is activated. Do not write to us asking about your account.

We reserve the right to cancel any account registered during the open signup without explanation.

The following is an excerpt from the Site Rules and the FAQ regarding new registrations. Make sure to read and understand it before registering.

1) Members cannot change their usernames and e-mail addresses so choose wisely.

2) Members may not have more than one account. Do not create an account if your disabled account is still in the system. Write to xbtmusic (at) gmail.com asking for an unban instead.

3) New accounts must be registered from a home connection (and not a remote host, mobile phone link, or corporate/university/public network).

4) The use of proxies is strictly forbidden.

5) The use of VPNs is also generally forbidden. Do not register over any kind of a VPN link (i.e. a seedbox).

6) We do not accept new registrations from the following countries: Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Palestinian Territory, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates & Yemen.

7) New accounts must be used to download at least 1GB and seed more than 1GB in the first 30 days of membership (not counting any start buffers).

8) The language of the Site is English and only English can be used in public. We are a European/Western site and are organized accordingly (think EU/NATO countries and their politics).
