CZTeam (formerly Czone) is back online after years gone

For anyone who used to be on Czone / CZTeam in the late 2000s and early 2010s - the tracker is online again at https://czteam.me. The site has been brought back on the original codebase + 2016 database dump, then quietly rebuilt across late 2025 and 2026 on a modern stack.

If you had an account back then, four ways back in:

1. Log in - if you still remember your old password, just hit /login.php. The original passhash format still works, no migration needed.
2. Recover by email - if the email you used back in 2008–2012 is still alive, go to /recover.php and you'll get a one-time link to set a new password.
3. Guest chat with staff - on the login page there's a small chat box where any visitor can talk to staff in real time, no account required. If your email is dead, you can't remember the username, or you just want to ask something - that's the fastest way.
4. Make a fresh account - signups are currently open, no invite required.

Brief on what's changed since the old days:

\- Security overhaul
\- original codebase ported forward, not rewritten. All historical uploads, forum posts, comments, snatches and mod-comments are still there under the same userids.
\- Modern frontend - 8 themes (4 dark, 4 light), full mobile-responsive, hover-poster previews on browse, IMDB cards + MediaInfo tabs on torrent details.
\- New chat replacing the old shoutbox
\- Auto-uploader pipeline keeps fresh content flowing in (movies, TV, anime).
\- English FAQ + Rules - class ladder, ratio thresholds, promotion / demotion criteria, all documented.

Coming soon : Integration with /arr software

Old uploads, old posts, old PM threads, the entire forum, and your historical stats are preserved. If you used to be there, you should still be there.
