What the fuck has happened to UKNova?

[Wazzerphuk]

I don't know if anyone else here uses UKNova, although I would expect so.

Can anyone shed any light on what the hell is going on there now, since the site has been replaced by some weird streaming beta for overseas locations?

maybe has something to do with todays date?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Unlikely, given the manner and design of that page.

 

[Ch3tan]

it looks like an april fools to me. did you actually read what they are syaing?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Well considering the streaming player for foreign countries has been in the pipelines for a while, this isn't really much of a surprise.

If it is an April Fool's it's a) very well done and b) stupid, as you can't get to the real site behind it.

 

[Ch3tan]

How are the participants for the public beta to be chosen?

In this phase of the test, we're concentrating on existing online TV enthusiasts. We have taken obtained ownership of several domains previously being used to operate illegal TV file-sharing services, and hope to attract many of their users to this exciting new service.​

come on wazz.

[Wazzerphuk]

How is that unbelievable? UKNova is basically one of the only torrent sites that posts UK shows, and it has a very large user base. You'd start there.

 

[Ch3tan]

the link at the bottom of teh page called "meat& veg" that goes nowhere but is meant to link to a page called potato? I would point out more, but I'm bored.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yes yes, but if you look the only link that works is the one to signup, much like it would appear as if you putting down a placeholder.

It still makes no sense that there is no way into the real site if it is an April Fool.

 

[Trem]

The Box is way better.

PM me if you want

 

[GReaper]

I think it's time for...

Once you "sign up" for the april fool it sets a cookie to allow you into the real site. Go do it and I'm sure you'll be able to access your favourite torrents once again.

I should ban you all for damaging the coc with your torrentzzorszors

Is this your way of saying you want an invite?

 

[Tom]

UKNova is a load of shite. Trem has it right.

 

[Trem]

Tom was also right when he said the same thing to me about the Box over UK Nova as well

 

[Wazzerphuk]

How is it shite exactly? Shows get upped quickly, the site is free and isn't facist in the way it treats you and the speeds are very, very fast.

(Other than this abortion of an April Fool).

 

[Trem]

Its doesn't have all you want, it doesn't have dvd releases of English stuff, you get left alone on The Box as well but you have the added bonus of actually getting pretty much everything made in the UK from now and from years ago and its just as fast as UK Nova, I was on UK Nova for ages then Tom got me on The Box and it was so long since I went on UK Nova after that that I have now lost my Nova account.

Up to you, stick with what you like.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I've never found anything to be missing from UKNova that I need, except for a couple of the big nature docs, and they're easy to pick up elsewhere.

Fill out the sign up form you shitcock

PS: iplaforol = aprilfool

 

[DaGaffer]

"Project Marsupial" is also a bit of a giveaway, since the real BBC outside UK streaming service is called Project Kangaroo (if it ever fucking happens now - thanks Sky).

It has the gayest user interface in the history of the internet. Go to the box, its better.

 

[nath]

On the signup sheet it asks for "Fathers maiden name".

ehehehhehe

There should be a FH award for biggest fool imo! Must have Mr. T as avatar for a week.

[ChamRider]

I think the fact that the new service that they are promoting is an anagram of APRIL FOOL kinda gives the game away!
