Golden Torrent Weekend IX

Golden Torrent Weekend IX has come to an end.


'What's a Golden Torrent Weekend?' I hear you n00bs ask.... well, during a GT weekend the tracker treats Golden Torrents a bit differently. Basically:

Anything downloaded on a Golden Torrent during the weekend will not count towards your download amount!

And to reward seeders: anything uploaded on a Golden Torrent during the weekend will count as double towards your total upload amount!

So, basically: Everyone's a winner!

You can view all of our Golden Torrents here, find more information about Golden Torrents here, and join the discussion here.

Keep on rockin',

To celebrate our third birthday (see post below!), we're also launching a special Underground Gamer RPG some might know as the Legend of The Green Dragon.

On August 18th, 2005 Underground Gamer officially launched with twenty five members. Today, three years later, Underground Gamer is a thriving community of twenty five thousand members. Our journey from a small group of people sharing gaming OSTs into one of the most comprehensive resources for retro gaming goodness on the internet has been an amazing one. And we plan to uphold that tradition by continuing to build and improve the site going forward.

First of all, we would like to announce that we will be switching to the Project Gazelle codebase in the near future. Project Gazelle is a major upgrade and rewrite of the traditional TBSource code (on which UG is currently built). Gazelle is highly customizable, with the themes being easily manipulated with CSS. Therefore, we will be holding a CSS competition for Gazelle in the near future. This will allow us to launch the Gazelle version of UG with some unique, user-created styles. We will have more information on this in the near future.

Also, next weekend will be a Golden Torrent Weekend in commemoration of our third birthday. The GTW will start this Friday and end on Sunday (22nd-24th August). During the Golden Torrent Weekend, anything downloaded on a Golden Torrent will not count towards your download amount! And to reward seeders: anything uploaded on a Golden Torrent during the weekend will count as double towards your total upload amount!

Finally, we would like to thank every member of the community. If it weren't for the consistent support from every one of you along the way, Underground Gamer would not exist today.

Thanks again, and here's to three more amazing years!
