Let me clarify some things, I will talk straight:
1. The new owner doesn't have access yet, it will have when we finish the transfer, most probably on tuesday!
2. When we anounced that the affiliate system will be paused, 90% of you didn't uploaded anymore, so that means we didn't made money anymore. Also all of our money got stucked in investments for servers, bandwith, etc
3. The uploaders who continued uploading and even a part of those who didn't but bringed us big revenue in the past were paid, and there are still some who will be paid during these days
4. The users who will not be paid will be recompensated through other options, like receiving premium membership for a longer period of time. You should appreaciate this considering that other filehosters didn't paid, didn't answered and didn't give any other compensation!
5. The new owner is a big Company that has money and resources to keep this website working, to buy servers and to pay all affiliates at time, but he wants to start from begining, I coudn't just give them the website with debts
Thank you for your cooperations and we are sorry for all problems and inconveniences!
I had my money but I find this a very strange attitude not to pay the "bad" uploaders because you think they are the reason you stopped making money.
So, my understanding is that you gave away the website for free to the new owner and are now completely bankrupt ?
What you are doing now is chasing away your uploaders so the new owner can indeed make a fresh start, a brand new site without uploaders. But is seems you don't care...
Giving away free premiums is easy, as it cost you nothing and will only negative influence the new owner's financial results. Top uploaders should have free premium anyway.
