The Web, conocida por ser heredera de Pordede y Plusdede, comunicó a todos sus usuarios donde informa el fin de la web. Justo dos años luego del cierre de Plusdede, la nueva página de descargas por streaming pone fin a su servicio, en unas conditions similar to their previous versions.
Megadede has been presenting a whole series of problems with its service.
Megadede lowers the blind without giving great explanations
Registered users of the movies and series portal can see a small statement, attached to the top page of the web. No details are explained in the text nor is it argued for the closure of the website.
The members of the team are forced to announce that in less than a week megadede will come to an end. We hope you have enjoyed this time with us and take the opportunity to download your lists. Thanks for everything #megabye
Como vemos, en este comunicado se explica que se podrán «descargar vuestras listas» y muchos usuarios esperan que be posible descargar sus bases de datos con las listas de series y películas. Se trata de una situación equivalente a la vivida con el cierre de Plusdede, donde se habilitó una tool to export the list of movies, series and chapters y poder pasar a Megadede. Al igual que Hispashare, la web se ha visto obligada a finalizar su servicio por cuestiones legales
«I understand that the tool will be similar to the one they enabled the previous time, but I think it does not allow to do it with the ones you follow, the finished ones, etc ”, explain the administrators.
Sobre las aplicaciones de Megadede para móvil, probablemente dejen de funcionar ya que no son oficiales de la web, al no haber acceso API. «Suponemos que cuando caiga el server con la base de datos, dejarán de tener servicio».
The transition from the original Pordede to Plusdede occurred when a database administrator decided to transfer the information and part of the team left.
According to the current administrators of the web, without access to the database or remuneration, the move from Plusdede to Megadede occurred at the same time they received an email from the owners of the portal telling them that "the Justice in South America ”and that for that reason“ they had sold or transferred the web ”. These two administrators were informed that "the new owners would get in touch again," but with the feeling that in reality despite the name change, those responsible were the same. "We know that some computer scientists worked, apparently there were 5 or 6 between Brazil and the United States," they point out.
What is the reason for the closure of Megadede? "Even being administrators, sometimes we receive and receive information in the same way as users," they explain. unable to justify the decision to close. However, they do point to possible causes.
«Creo que habrá sido una mezcla del traffic de la web, que obviamente la han dejado morir por mala gestión, porque los usuarios les importaban cero, y una decisión sin más». La relación entre la comunidad, moderadores, los dos administradores y los responsables de la web no era fluida. «Los dueños básicamente se conectaban como una vez cada dos semanas o una vez al mes y durante unos 5 minutos», reivindican.
Según datos de Alexa Rank, Megadede is ranked number 72 in the most visited portal in Spain, con una importante caída del tráfico durante los últimos meses de 2020. «No les salía rentable mantener una web así, cuando estaba Plusdede por lo visto la advertising les ayudaba a pagar los servidores», nos explican.
Alternatives to Megadede and possible spin-off
"Do not be surprised that working as these people do, the database has not been sold or that we even see a spin-off website, like Megadede after Plusdede, etc", the administrators conjecture. It is not ruled out that soon those responsible for Megadede decide to open another portal, with another name pero con el target de volver a entrar en una dinámica de tráfico positiva.
Among the alternatives to Megadede, several have been postulated. From Movidy it is reported that they will be working until 2021 and if Megadede allows downloading the lists of series and movies, could create a mechanism to import them. Another alternative is DixMax, of whom they explain that "there were several hostile takeover attempts while the web was working." Finally there is the recommendation of Repelis.io, simple and practical to find movies.
Los dueños de la web emplazan a contactar con ellos en caso de estar interesado en comprar el domain o el proyecto.An additional message appears from the Help and Support section of Megadede. In it, it is stated that «If someone wants to buy the domain or the project, you can send your offers«. As a result of the message, it follows that the owners of the portal are interested in selling the project, but the administrators of the web distrust.
"If they buy or sell, it will be in Bitcoins, the last time the price was about 7 (about 130,000 euros)", they explain, without ruling out that it is a maneuver to get rid of complaints and reappear as if they were new owners.
En una semana, Megadede llegará a su fin y habrá que esperar para conocer qué otro portal de descargas ocupa su lugar. Se suma a lista de web clausuradas junto a HDfull me.
Pordede, Plusdede and Playdede ...
If we are one of those who like movies and online series, then surely we have already met Pordede, which was later baptized as Plusdede and which finally returned with the name Megadede. In its beginnings, Pordede positioned itself as a site with a large catalog of movies and series of all kinds that we could watch online for free.
However, in mid-2017, the platform announced that its databases had been hacked and user information was in danger. As a result of there, arose Plusdede as a new stage for Pordede, a site that followed the same philosophy and offered a good number of films and series of all kinds of genres and for all audiences.
But its popularity lasted relatively little, since in September 2018 it announced its definitive closure through a statement published on the portal and that surprised all users since the reasons for the site's closure were not specified.
Is the catalog the same as Megadede's?
At the moment it is not known if Playdede has taken the Megadede repository as a base, although everything indicates that the servers have been created from scratch. In any case, the web catalog is quite extensive as of today, since the portal has been developing for some months.
Can I import my Megadede playlists into Playdede?
Correct. From the platform options podemos importar las listas de Megadede en formato CSV to have a history with the series and movies that we have seen in Megadede.
Are registrations open or can they only be accessed by invitation?
From the day of its opening, Playdede keeps the records open to all users who want to access the platform. And is that unlike Pordede and Ultradede, the site does not require an invitation to access the user registry.
Can I access Playdede as a guest?
Unlike Megadede, Playdede requiere del registro para acceder al contents de la web, so we will not be able to access as guests, at least at the time of writing these lines.
