I know that sounds ridiculous and even incredibly but the story has received attention in the Russian news sources and blogs - actually the story as it is really true. I've tested, the news is not no matter now discuss how fitting it for the day could be dated April 1st, but is the entire Russian blogosphere Russia supposedly has now a village named after a site - a site that often criticized in the box and discussed in courts of torrent tracking and p2p sharing works. The only problem is, the story was actually has to be a fake, designed probably specifically for PR purposes, but the idea definitely value that mention is.
TorrentReactor.net, has a claimed the top 10 torrent indexers in the world that is hosted in Russia to about 150 thousand $ have paid, the right to a Russian village named gar is located in the region of Tomsk in Siberia rename to get. The idea was discussed with the population of the village (a total of 214 persons), and people are told to the idea of replacing your short and slightly strong name with a longer after the purchase site support. I believe that with each their small part of the donation such support immensely, especially given the poverty of the people in such small villages reach idea could have helped.
The irony of that selected village is that it is near the nuclear reactor Seversk is interesting similarities in the name of the site and brings. In fact, the award-winning village is noticed instructed randomly after you have carefully selected a number of small villages close to various nuclear reactors around the world - and the number 377 happened be happy for the gar village. And because gar from the Russian can be translated as "burned", I think people should not completely unhappy to get rid of your pretty unpleasant name and something fresh and very contemporary. The only downside here is that until recently that had village only 3 PCs with only one of you with dial-up Internet access, so had no chance to know such website existed - let alone use it.
The agreement was said be permanent so that the village allegedly to its unusual name to keep. And while it is quite obvious that the objectives here are especially PR-related site owners claim that actually support a slowly dying village (which are numerous in Russia) and pioneer one completely new movement with various Internet companies, the support of the other real life settlements with their inhabitants such donations wanted to bring significant PR
The carefully crafted story was quickly tremendous attention among Russian Internet users and visitors actually TorrentReactor.net and many people believed the story true, (in fact, it has even by one of the most prestigious Internet news resources without any subsequent update as of this writing been reported and because this was where I first saw me the story, it was hard not to believe it was true) to be. But some of the local reporter decided to go as far as contact confirm the village authorities the story - in Tomsk and quickly found out that the story with reality had nothing to do. But in fact a representative of such authorities mentioned that while you have received no offers from someone, like it would have considered you if came as the State of the roads in the village is so poor, could really need such an investment.
But even if this story never turned to be real comments demonstrated that the number of people who were ready to buy a House and move around the village was very significant, would like Internet users hoped that torrents somehow be legally miraculously in the village. Now I would definitely recommend renaming a small (or perhaps not so small) town somewhere it should in Europe in the Pirate Bay - definitely exist, and it could quickly turn into a crowded destination with the right promotion and a monument to a torrent (no idea how it should look like, but I think, an online competition could result in a good number of interesting projects) directly on the main square of the city as a place of pilgrimage for all active torrent users of the world. And a small note for Google from the Russian user: should definitely invest in buying Russian post and rename it to Gmail – was this a huge PR campaign and we would finally received a prospect actually receive our e-Mail messages.
