As soon as the news was out that the infamous Pirate Bay was starting a new user driven video portal the first wave of visitors hit the official Video Bay website only to find out that there was nothing there except two lines stating that the project was currently in closed beta and that the service would be available for the public when it is done.
There is however a way to take a sneak peak at the Video Bay by adding digits to the url. You will not see the interface or other parts of the website but only the movies. Please consider that these are most likely test movies and that you will not find spectacular content on those sites. The interface itself is pretty basic as well but I think it is worth to take a look every now and then and see how the interface and services develops.
The main url is thevideobay.org which will only show the two sentences saying that this site is currently only available to beta testers and developers. If you however append a number behind that url you will be able to access the videos currently hosted on the site. So, thevideobay.org/20/ will open a video on the website with the option to play it.
You will have to change the numbers manually to cycle through all videos on the site. I personally think it is not worth to view them all but some might find it entertaining. Every number will show the video play but numbers not associated with a video will not play.
