"It's the end of an era", reckons one piracy fansite. BTJunkie users took to Twitter to express their disappointment:" }-

I'm expecting torrent using to focus more on private sites. The days of Mininova-like websites are probably done. The closing of this particular engine isn't shocking at all, so I don't know why people would be. ACTA, SOPA, they don't really matter, that was proved with Megaupload. These guys are just taking the safe road because they're probably smart enough to realize that Megaupload was a sign things were about to change.
