As part of a desperate but probably futile effort to decrease the sluggishness of the site, old torrents which have no hope of being revived will be purged. This could but likely won't speed up searching as well. You have been warned.

In the near future, unused user accounts will also be purged. They're mostly spam accounts anyway.

While the rest of you have no doubt been goofing off the last couple of days, I have been guzzling hobo piss developing a new way of filling ConCen up with even more irrelevant junk content that nobody wants - using automatic uploads!

Since my expenses now exceed my income, I cannot continue to pay the $48 monthly hosting fees.

A list of our donors with a link to their profile pages can be found on the donor page. On behalf of the users of ConCen, I thank them. I encourage you to thank them as well by sending them a message.

I'm wondering whether or not ConCen should continue as is, or go back to being a private site. Maybe it can be both - a semi-public site with a private section with properly cataloged and archived stuff which is well seeded.

Radiant Farms believe that ConCen is a great site to reach their target demographic. I agree. Should I take them on?

Some may have seen ConCen suddenly drop off the internet for 24 hours. In reality their IP address has been automatically banned for one of various reasons, like failing a login 4 times.

As you might already be aware, my Etch A Sketch was modified to use WiFi. Just recently I managed to add OSR (Optical Sketch Recognition) software, so now I can sketch out new code for the site so much faster! The more observant among you may have noticed a couple of things. I don't want to give anything away, but soon a part of the site will be exactly where I've always wanted it - nothing but freshly baked stats and refried torrents! My mouth is watering already! Woo Hoo!!!

OK so living in a frozen piss soaked box under a train bridge just became much easier thanks to a generous member who made a large ($200) donation. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!

I used the money to buy some frilly frills for my frisky feline friends,

and a WiFi enabled Etch A Sketch.

Greetings fellow ConCenners! Merry Christmas!

As you know, I have made ConCen free for everybody since May 2016. That meant I could no longer afford my rent, so I was evicted. I now live in a hobo piss soaked cardboard box, but hey - at least you guys get a free web site!

Happy New Year!
