Not sure what happened exactly.. or if they got sued? But they are apparently done if you go to their site.
A sad day indeed.
Welcome to the Gamebase 64 forums. An attempt to document ALL Commodore 64 gameware before it's too late!
Underground Gamer is no more. =(

Having serious withdrawal issues right now......
What really bugs me is the stupid corporations that force these shutdowns because of a tiny amount of content. Most legitimate sites, UG included, will remove content if requested to do so by the copyright holder.

I wish seeding credit was a bit easier there. Too many people with fast connections. I have had to get most of my upload credit from Folding@Home.Vicman wrote:in the case that UG will be down forever...

Never liked UG. Sure the content was second to none, but trying to get a ratio up from 0 was impossible. Other people in the swarm was always given priority and I always just sat there not uploading, got banned in the end, after uploading 0.
Pleasuredome all the way for me. Free torrents and no problem building a ratio.
Usenet is always overlooked for some reason.

UG was probably my favorite tracker. Being my 1st private tracker, I fell into the 0 ratio hole my 1st few days, and ended up donating to prevent myself from being banned when I wasn't sure I could fix it in time. I agree it would be hard to pull out of a huge GB deficit though in the 28? days they gave you.
It was just about the easiet place to build ratio for me mainly due to the freeleech torrents, and I have a really slow connection too.
I have not looked into newsgroups much since my ISP stopped carrying them years ago. Are there any free servers available?
