One of the most loved BitTorrent trackers, Demonoid, that was pulled down on November 9, 2007 by Canadian Recording Industry Association is now back up again. But TorrentFreak reports that Deimos, the administrator of Demonoid has decided to step down owing to real life issues.

Apparently, he has handed over the job of maintaining the site to a fellow friend, who has all the time and knowledge required. Here’s the message posted by Deimos on the SubDemon forums:

Hello Everyone,

It is with great sadness (and not a little relief) that I announce that I will be stepping down as admin of Demonoid, with effect from today.

Demonoid is currently suffering from a number of things, prime amongst these being my distraction with real-world issues, and so I have handed the reins over to a new administrator - a close friend of mine, which I trust completely and has the knowledge and time to take care of the site.

He will, in due course, be making his own announcements about the future of Demonoid. Of course, speculation over the future of the site is fun, but it is ultimately fruitless - you will all, in the near future, become aware of what the future holds. I trust that you will all give your support to the new admin as he finds his feet while he resurrects Demonoid.

Thanks again for your support in making Demonoid what it was and is.

Goodbye and good wishes - it has been a blast!

- Deimos

I’m glad to see Demonoid up and running again. It was once called as the best private tracker.
