Torasu said: I've been a member of BakaBT since so many years with absurdly positive ratios (compared to my upload speed which is terrible) and now I discover my account has been pruned with no way to get it back. If anyone still has access and can send me an invite pass, I'd appreciate it, thanks. BBT is still closed to new members, unfortunately. |

nocseiz said: Seiya said: You have to keep in mind that every Anime TV series created prior to the millenium was created in 480p or lower, so you can't magically make it "HD," if the source is SD. The compression methods of DVD manufacturing have improved since the early 2000s, and are about as good as SD content is going to get. I own the Bubblegum Crisis DVD box set, and I watched it on my 32" CRT TV with component cables, and the picture was crystal clear. There was absolutely no reason for AnimEigo to put it on Blu-ray, as the difference was extremely minor. Video engineers [i'm not sure how they're called] creates miracles when it comes to remastering. Maybe you saw classic movies like It's a Wonderful Life. I watched remastered B&W and Coloured. Then i found the original SD resolution. It was ... It seemed like i listened a very old record on a gramophone. This will give an idea on what i'm trying to explain: Movies, even ones from 80 years ago, we originally filmed with a fairly high resolution film stock(35mm or higher), and that's why they can put out high quality versions, by using the original source stock. But with older Anime, specifically TV series and OVAs, the original source is 480p or lower, which is different. You can't magically make an SD source HD, as it won't really be of any improvement. |

Yes, but the cels are of an SD stock size, so the difference is only minimal. The only difference is with Anime movies, which are created at a higher resolution than an Anime TV series/OVA. |

Well as an example of how they can re-record the source to be higher than SD quality, here's the same intricate image from both the DVD and BD version of Evangelion. You can see detail in the BD version that isn't in the DVD version. |

| I was going to, like, beg for an invite or something but the thread turned into weird people not knowing how a codec works and the difference between dvd's mpg2 vs brd's h264; or that gengas and cells are actually bigger than film stock because they had to, you know, draw and paint paint them with pens and brushes by hand. Cab I get an invite to AB if I explain what an i-frame is or how the analogue capture process works? |

Terminator_Neon said: wtf? I just found out today that shit has gone total private, and i was even member of it but haven't used the account for like 2 months because of some other work. and just finally when i thought that this season is almost over and head over to nyaa and found out its dead, sadden me to death ;-; and headed over to bakaBT and my username and pass didn't matched, tried recovery but it said accound doesn't exist. GG life is so ***ked up now If your account was deleted that means you haven't used it for like 11 months, not 2. |
|
| I kind of recall having an account there. I remember i couldn't upload crap, because everything that was available, was already on it. So no matter what i downloaded, even with 60.000 leech, eventually my ratio went south. So i asked what's the point of having an account. And some mod told me, nothing, unless i can get my hands on stuff they don't have yet. Which is literally impossible. And now they just go private... I never really liked their elitist stance towards other anime fans. But the their database for old stuff will be missed. |
Terminator_Neon said: i made the account in Feb,2017 and haven't visited it since start of april.17 my first priority was always Nyaa torrents and would find every anime i want but ;-; so many bad things happened in while ;-; Kat died, Nyaa died, Shaanig went down too and now found out BakaBT is gone full Private You should contact the admins of BBT |

| A small quote from the news on the site. Since so many people seem unaware of why and what happened. bakabt said: As many of you are now aware, starting yesterday you were faced with a login screen when you tried accessing BakaBT. This time it is not a prank, we are forced to change our model to a private tracker, and to remove our public component. The reason for the change is a targeted assault by a copyright agency. Despite our cooperation and ban of the reported titles, they kept spamming our hosting provider with C&D letters... ~Duki3003 So, basically, legal bullshit |

| I wish things would go back to normal (or at least the old normal). I have an account but my Internet is so shitty at my house it's impossible to seed/keep a good ratio (I had a seedbox trial for a few days which got me my initial ratio but if I download anything now it'll definitely tank). |

I clicked your link but it asks me to login first. :( Content of that topic below. It also says that if you don't have an account you can get one if you go to the #bakabt-invites IRC channel on Rizon for interview. Duki3003 said: "As promised when we closed off our public component, several months ago now, we have been working on a way to still join BakaBT. Currently our invite system is still in it's early phase of development, but it is possible for new users to join BakaBT by interview in our #bakabt-invites channel. However users who still have a forum account, but had their tracker account pruned will be able to reactivate their account from their forum profile page. Do bear in mind that reactivated accounts are basically treated as new accounts, so stats will be 0 as we do not keep records of your old account stats once they are pruned. Individual user invites will be made available soon, so Power Users will be able to invite people they want/trust outside of the official invite channel, but as mentioned that feature is still under development. Currently I cannot give an exact ETA, but we're hoping to finish this feature sooner rather than later. -Duki3003" |

Managed to recover my 5 year old account :) Thanks for the bump. Wouldn't have even noticed. Probably won't really use my account though. |

When I go on their website it says "And the future never comes" "What comes is always here now"-Osho and displays username and password one now and recover. Is it impossible to sign up for it? If not, someone should send me a link to sign up. If you read the thread, you will find the answer. |
| This was a big loss. i downloaded most of my hentai from there. Sucks this happened, but i have my ways of obtaining anime. |

| I apparently lost my account due to inactivity. Despite me giving up on keeping up with anime, this actually kinda sucks since I don't have BakaBT as an option anymore, and my share ratio was pretty good too. Well, at least I have DVDs, Bly-rays and Netflix, and I might as well sign up with Nyaa for that one thing I want. |

Try to just reset your password on the website, I hadn't visited in what felt like years until this week and my account was still good on the tracker after a password reset and if it doesn't work try reset your account on the forum. Forum accounts aren't deleted for inactivity and you can recover your tracker account from the forum usercp. It's been over three years for me. My account is dead. |

AdmrlAwesome said: This whole forum was hilarious to read for the most part, a bunch of cancerous selfish people (probably millennials) crying that they can't have the way they want with zero consequences. Especially the people using the site for a long time and never making an account. I used it once or twice, and when I was sure I liked it, I made an account. 4.4 ratio too at the moment. The people using money as an excuse are the best. When i was a kid my single mom raised four kids on her own and we had internet good enough to torrent, even if it was slow. I love to see greedy leaches get their just desserts one in a while I laughed that you think people complain about money because of slow internet connections when talking about piracy. |
