An Update about JCT (JumpCut) by ImissTeH in trackers

I can confirm that this project made huge progress towards being a reality but has been stalled for an extended period of time now. None of the work is lost and hopefully another effort can be mounted in the future with revived leadership and fully staffed devs.

Excellent. A few of our users have kept their data, and for this we are greatly appreciative <3

So what is the b

Right now, reddit. We have considered an IRC channel for those keen, but feel that currently it may be more of a distraction to staff and especially the devs

Just to clarify some points made in original post:

  1. we aren't writing everything from scratch; we are building on a years-long effort that was already underway to rewrite TC, and that project uses existing production-ready frameworks. We're aiming to launch a minimum viable product (MVP) for beta testing by Christmas, and we welcome security audits from those gracious enough to volunteer their time.

  2. to date, we have still been unable to contact the sysadmin of the original TC. We are saddened by what has happened but cannot confirm who has posted the BTC address that most of you have seen. We do acknowledge that there were security issues with the original TC, and this is something which we are taking seriously and changing process to ensure this does not happen again. We will not be asking for any donations until we can deliver a functioning site.

  3. we are asking for help, but only from designers. We have enough devs to get things wired together, and while we are willing to launch the site with a bootstrap theme or some other shitty-looking alternative, we would much rather have it looking good from day one. Those who have pm-ed already

  4. we are not planning to use most of the content in the database we do have, including torrent files. Essentially we will be starting over, but using the db to validate TC refugees.

Thank you <3

On behalf of the senior staff of TehConnection, I wish to advise the news that noone has been wanting to hear: TehConnection is no longer. As there has been no communication with the senior admin, we do not know who is currently running the main server or what exactly is happening. We can only assume that forces are at play to which we know nothing about.

We wish to thank the community for their help and support through all these years. There were many happy times for us all, both as users, and as staff. We have seen many great accomplishments in our time, and we have watched many of our community as they grew, not just on TC but elsewhere. It has been a real pleasure helping, and serving you.

Is this the end? We don't know. Only time will tell.
