While Sunde certainly would have rather seen the site remain what he considered tasteful, he seems confident that the current community will take the reigns and move in a new direction.

All things that go against Sunde's beliefs and his original vision for the site/community. Instead new management threw a big party with a "sexist company that sent young girls, dressed in almost no clothes," and charged money to get in. He said the original plan was to shut it all down on its 10th anniversary, but the current owners had other ideas. Sunde claims the original spirit and direction of the site is gone at this point. More and more ads was filling the site, and somehow when it felt unimaginable to make these ads more distasteful they somehow ended up even worse. It never changed except for one thing - the ads. The site was ugly, full of bugs, old code and old design. He says it has become "ugly" and bug ridden, with the new owners having done nothing to improve the experience for the community: As anyone who has visited the site recently would know, it is littered with porn and other horrible ads, something Sunde says is a product of new management. After being released from prison, he took to his blog to express his feelings on what TPB has become, along with its distasteful ad selection. It's no surprise Swedish law enforcement cracked down on the network considering the escalating complaints, but the site's co-creator Peter Sunde doesn't appear to mind anyway.Ĭiting the network's loss of vision over the years, Sunde would prefer if the site went away for good.

Recent reports said the number of take down requests pertaining to the site skyrocketed over the last year reaching more than 1 million daily.

As we previously reported, infamous torrent site The Pirate Bay (TPB) and a number of its affiliated sites were shut down this week.
