It is with great sadness that I must announce that the following RLSLOG staff members hereby resign from their positions:
Over, Christian, Nyr, sc0rff, Nikola, Mr.X and myself.
Edit: Check PLUBE.COM for updates on this issue later this week.
Unfortunately it’s not the 1st of April this time around.
During my time as a RLSLOG editor and admin I’ve seen a lot of people come and go. Most people make a very minor contribution (a couple of posts or so) then they leave their editors account unused. I’ve also seen major contributors leave RLSLOG. Shiny and Lee left the site without really stating their true reasons. Their reasons however were the same as ours, but the editors above including myself are hereby giving you, the reader, the courtesy of knowing why we must leave this site which we have put endless hours of work into.
RLSLOG was once a very small project. I don’t think anyone ever suspected this site would grow as much as it has. At the end of July this year, we peaked at 237,814 UNIQUE visitors in one day. On a regular day we’ll get anything from 200,000 to 230,000 unique visitors. This growth came about relatively quickly. RLSLOG has only been around for a bit over 2 years. As you might imagine, the curve of ad revenue growth over time must look pretty sweet.
The truth of course, is that only one single person sees the full profits from the RLSLOG ads and that is Martin (the founder and owner of the site). The majority of the staff including myself completely accepted this and continued to write our articles. RLSLOG was a fun hobby for us and never something we expected any money from. In the past 5 months however, we’ve witnessed the regard to quality from the owner slowly decay. When the staff has had their eyes set on improving this site, his aims have been to increase ad revenue. To do so, he has turned this site into something we can no longer proudly write for.
On a personal level I’d like to thank all of the great people that have made my time at RLSLOG such a pleasant one.
Some of the editors had a couple of things to add:
Mr.X:
As the second longest running editor on rlslog.net besides Martin, I have decided it is time to call it. Spanning over 16 months and 1000 posts I’ve decided to quit while I’m ahead. There have been too many disagreements between the staff and the site’s owner, and we have all collectively decided to completely cease operations from here on.
Christian:
Being an editor for a site which does not value the input and feedback of its staff is not something I’d like to be a part of. Thank you to everyone who commented and I hope you’ve made good use of the applications (my main category) I’ve posted about.
sc0rff:
I have not been an editor for very long here on rlslog, but from my short time, being involved with the wonderful staff, the forums and the awesome irc community I have discovered the true face of rlslog from the inside. I have dedicated many late nights to cover TV releases from across the pond with nothing in return. Unfortunately the owner is unenthusiastic and has no desire to maintain quality on the site.
Nikola:
RLSLOG is great because of all the ACTIVE editors here. Thanks to all readers of Rlslog, & thanks for your comments. Greetz from Nikola.
Over:
I’d like to see RLSLOG grow and be more than just a SCENE news site. I could really imagine a great community here, and I am not only talking about the forums I am talking about things on a different scale. My Thanks go out to a lot of cool people i met in the staff and on IRC.
* Good morning ladies and gents. In my disappointment I have red this article a few minutes ago and the comments are too many to read them all. I just wanted to thank the editors who have participated in the website with all their heart. I understand the disappointment in their faces and also why they stepping out. Myself I’ve stopped posting because I thought it was time to give the new staff some space for them to post. I’m still in this website cause it has been my homepage for two years now.
- Mike,
Here is the proper release of Kung Fu Paanda. Optic has done a good job. High quality screenner. Just check video sample & sample pictures- you will see the diffrence. Jack Black is so funny in this movie. he gives voice to panda. There are a lot of ”big names” in this movie. Enjoy this release. Greetz to Otpic for this very good release.

Noodlabs released Dvd rip of the movie Purple Violets. This is drama\romance genre movie directed & written by Edward Burns. Quality of this release is very good. On IMDb this movie has a 7.3 score , but again very small amount of votes. I think this movie is not bad. Watch trailer maybe you will like this movie. Enjoy this release ….and see you later… in another post. 02-02-39].jpg)
Group TheScene released a first cam of new comedy Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging approximately 30 minutes ago. This is movie mostly for teenage audience with teenage actors - there are no big names in the cast, however the film holds a decent rating of 7.5 points at IMDB. The READ NFO tag in the (misspelled) release name points out to few paragraphs of cursing in the NFO aimed at other groups. If you’re a scener, you may find it entertaining, other people just skip that junk. The quality is not very good as it’s just a cam, but there should be better copies soon. Oh, and don’t ask me why’s the poster German.
A minor scene group CoWRY released a dvdrip of 2007 romantic comedy Expired. This movie won a Best Actor award because of Jason Patric who plays one of the main roles, and it was also chosen as Official Selection at Sundance Film Festival. It celebrated big success in Cannes as well, so I guess you don’t have to worry about the story. Quality is also great, classic 1 CD rip with a slightly lower bitrate.
I haven’t heard anything about this movie, so I am not really sure if it is good or not. Doesn’t have the best rating on IMDB, but someone out there has to like Dax Shepard, right? The trailer doesn’t make it seem horrible, so maybe it will be a good watch. Video looks great, 1cd, and the audio seems good as well. Enjoy!
