Why do people want so much FTN?

[Aerozin]

When are other trackers with much more files and with excelent speeds

[fOrUmAs]

Ftn dont have ratio system so everything is freeleech forever

so i think this is the reasone why many people want FTN

[Nemrod]

Because is the very best of all? :huh:

[Aerozin]

Ftn dont have ratio system so everything is freeleech forever

so i think this is the reasone why many people want FTN
i didnt know that :B

[SAM]

FTN has no ratio system,good community,very nice staff
great content and blazing speeds.
but if you ask me most people asked for it cause it's high level tracker.
it's sad but true

[killingspree]

three main reasons:
1. no ratio system.
2. maybe some trackers have great speeds but in ftn you can download in your maximal speed even a torrent with 10 seeders.
3. rarity

[bikernin]

they send you $100 by paypal as soon as you join :yup:

[kaffeine]

There are beautiful naked girls inside.

[Totti]

use search option....

[TP635]

Firstly, why do you assume everyone wants to be have an account there? I DON"T; not for the moment, and not in the near future.

[King of kings]

the only reason that peoples want FTN is that Brendon is there :)

[fOrUmAs]

three main reasons:
1. no ratio system.
2. maybe some trackers have great speeds but in ftn you can download in your maximal speed even a torrent with 10 seeders.
3. rarity

for sure second is not the main reasone

on most sites u can get maximum speed,ftn here is not exception

rarity?

well if we compare with other sites also ftn is not that special:)

as i said the main reasone is no system ratio + its high lvl site:happy:

[Innos]

Ftn dont have ratio system so everything is freeleech forever

so i think this is the reason why many people want FTN
Does this goes for iTS and ScL(flower) :huh:

[fOrUmAs]

You can talk by you, not for others. :P
And yes, being a ratioless site is a good thing, but not the only one one.
In my particular case I can say I love the site because it´s the only one where I have no stress, and that´s priceless... OK, ratio again... and I can assure you that if in FTN they´d have ratio system I´d have 4 or 5 +... but I know if I need ask something I´ll be heard and they´ll give me a nice answer, and not a warning like in many other sites, I can read the forums and discuss serious things with mature people, I don´t see almost any crap there, and many other things. I have not to be worried about unfair scripts, staff whims or mood, etc.
But the short version is that I am sure that as long I follow a very simple and not very demanding rules, I won´t have any problem. It´s the only stress free site, in my humble opinion. :D

[wheeloftime]

The communal showers.

[fazzy07]

Because of Brendons sexy salsa dance and Midget Porn

[vinhkhang01]

Community & Staff, Ratio System, Fast BW, decent Pre't.

[seppypom]

if you have to ask...........................

[jam0980tr]

FTN is a friendy community and thats why few people want it bad
torrents speed fast , content good, staff so nices on the irc ;)

[bikernin]

Firstly, why do you assume everyone wants to be have an account there? I DON"T; not for the moment, and not in the near future.

of course! why would you even think about it. after all you've got TPB!! :D j/k buddy

[danio]

i doubt that the no ratio system is the main reason why many people want FTN.. i mean i'm pretty sure the demand was just as high before they changed the system? i wanted it because i had heard alot of good things about it (good 0day tracker with a tight community).. but that's my reason, and i bet that they vary between individuals just as much as taste of food :).

[Nemrod]

:lol:

This thread brings to my mind Aesop´s fables... "The Fox and the grapes" fable more precisely. :D

Well you're right, FTN was already one of the most wanted trackers before the ratio system was removed, so the actual demand has nothing (or very few) to do with it

[titofat]

i think ftn is the best in every thing

[danio]

i think ftn is the best in every thing

Considering your signature I take it that you are not a member, and yet you think that this tracker is the best there is? How do you know this? :)

[SgtMajor]

Publicity because of threads such as this.

[Sekai]

It's pretty obvious actually.
Whenever you download something from FTN you'll always enjoy more than twice as
much as you would, if you had downloaded it from another tracker.

[dunson]

Because they think F*N stands for FUN!

[fOrUmAs]

i think ftn is the best in every thing

well u are wrong,when u become member there u will see and then u can commet something abouth ftn (since u not member there)


they are far from best

:)

[Torture_Artist]

No, I'm sure people mostly want it because it's no ratio. But if that's a reasonable reason to want it or not I can't really say. Well, actually I can. I'd say it's pretty unreasonable.

[Swordfish]

Same reason why most people want it. It's a high level tracker, and because it's rare. The no ratio system is obviously another bonus.

The grass is greener on the other side... :whistling

Having said that, I wouldn't mind being a member there myself :naughty:

[bl4dy]

i think because it it one of the best tracker

[Kyl3KK]

Cos FTN rulez. :P

FTN is a site for people who are torrent veterans, who are mostly looking for a place to chill with each other and grab a couple of files. Thats why you have to be careful on who you invite. If you don't plan on being part of the forums or IRC, you don't need FTN, no matter who you are IMO.

When I go into IRC, the people in there greet me by name (probably because my name is obvious but still)

It's like a close knit e-family there.

[mrnobody]

Given: is an assumption that everyone is addicted to porn

To prove: why does everyone want FTN

The law of epenis says: hotness of porn torrent is directly proportional to lvl of the tracker.

=> ABC porn is hotter at FTN than ABC porn at TPB.

Then stick with what you know, some want a more rounded experience than just torrents alone, if you want to share with friends and at the same time have a chat or two, so what, if all you want to do is download torrents, so what again.

Don't diss what you don't understand, or better still just ignore it and walk on by.

[Brandon]

they are far from best

:)

I won't disagree that we are far from best, however I do feel that statement is more of an opinion rather than anything else. I get countless pm's from people daily thanking me for inviting them, saying how they love the site, things like that. No site is perfect, I think we can all agree on that.

From majority of PM's i've gotten (this is from people ON ftn, not people who are making up shit just so i'll invite them) most people want and like FTN b/c I'm told we (the staff) are a bit more accommodating to the members vs other sites. I don't know what all the "other sites" area, but that's just what the general overall census seems to be.

Most torrent sites run in a business nature, meaning their mindset is more on things such as profit, publicity, etc. Ours is and always has been our users. Anyways, just my 2 cents.

Hate it, love it, like it.. It's just a torrent site ;)

[shyman]

ppl usually desire something they dont have....

+1 100% agree with that, but I agree that FTN is very nice tracker and I'm happy to be part of it ;)

You know we did have a midget porn pack at one time, and it was actually very popular lol.. Perhaps we should compile another :dry:

[dunson]

It should be easy to fit a bunch of midgets in a pr0n pack, just stack'em on top of each other!

[kayvanblue]

FTN followed a good strategy by bringing up a lot of hypes and of course they successfully gathered all the good users in bittorrent 's industry..i believe the amount of members who run seedboxes in FTN tracker are way more than any other private trackers in web! this hype also leads to less cheaters! Simply i believe FTN is an active tracker!
Just remember that If you can do good in FTN you will probably do much better in TL!

Wtf ? no one said the real reason ,fags
the truth is every one love Ftn couz i am there ask brandon if you dont believe me

[Adama]

no ratio system and also great content

[boxmanuser]

i think it all relates to levels and ratings.

Yes it is my opinion but since im member there and i have seen other sites that is why i have said that ftn is far from best(there is no best site) IMO

but it is for sure great site:)

[juodis]

ScT or FTN ? ho beter?

[Bionic]

ScT got some bad Staff as members from here have mentioned this earlier... FTN with no ratio and quick speed.
Let me say, ScT is better in the deep torrents, like out-dated, I guess. FTN is with no ratio, guess you wouldn't find some old torrents being downloaded easily. Just my 2cents. I'd like to try FTN tho, gotta check it. Maybe it'll be my next fav torrent site.

[deuce6000]

Because it's a good tracker.Why else would everyone want it.Some times if you just use a little bit of brain power you can do amazing things like answer your own questions.

From what I can tell you're not a member at either sites, so why are you making a comparison?

[paladinx]

I wonder
if every sites have no ratio system
which one is the greatest?

[Tokeman]

the one with the best community that continues to share beyond the minimum requirements.

[OmaRin0]

SCT > FTN
sct better pre times + better speeds + more torrents + 0.75 of ur dl is counted + ....

the only thing that FTN is better than SCT is that it don't have ratio system..

[9NINE]

i will tell you why we are special

everyday when i log in i am ready to meet friends that they allways with me at forum (its some thing like undated meeting )
also i never remove a torrent cos i think it will help another friend or just member, untill that torrent is copletly die
so i feel there as its a big familly , i think i know every one every post
when i log in i feel that i open my house door , actually its not just a tracker for me

[asoto]

:yes:

I find it funny how it always becomes an sct vs ftn issue. That immediately tells me you're an sct fan and your comment is worth nothing.
Funny how you can state you've never been a member, yet agree with something you know nothing about. :rolleyes:

Lets see, sct bans users for no reason, has a horrible cheat detection system, cruel staff, sells invites, sells GB's.... look at all the complaining threads on here..

I'd like to disagree with your "better speeds" comment also, considering ftn uses gbit servers to seed.. so like, does sct have some new line I don't know about?

Seriously, don't always make threds into sct vs ftn threads. This thread was asking why people want ftn, not "why do sct fanboys think sct is better than ftn LOL" You're just trying to start a war.

Have a nice day.

[Zaxx]

ummph...looks like he didn't put much thought into that post before he clicked the button. :pinch:

[Detale]

OK now the last thing we need here is another FTN vs. SCT thing the thread title is "Why do people want so much FTN?" loosely translated I believe it means Why do people want FTN so badly so lets try to keep is on that topic ok. Thanks

[Dark Archon]

another thumbs up.

comparing trackers and putting off another would only deem oneself as someone arrogant and disrespectful. it's just comparing an apple with an orange, it will never end.

trackers are not competing against each other in some kind of "market share", they are there to provide community and file sharing, and if you happened to be part of one, just be glad to and be appreciated.

there is no reason to engage in a war of [S*T vs F*N], each tracker is unique and we should respect that.

just my 2 cents

[singing_sol]

seemingly true to voice but not so perfect to the notion man u should think about the tackers rep before u say anythin

[ceasar]

I get countless pm's from people daily thanking me for inviting them, saying how they love the site,

One of two:
- you can't count
- you lying

Lets imagine how many from less than 5 K members (even less, if you talking only about ppl, you invited personally, which you do) will send you a pm in 1 taken day. Will this number be even in 2 digit? Don't think so. Can Brandon count from 1 to 99? Hope he can :lol: Then the conclusion is simple - you are lying about that number. Next question is why you are lying, to create more hype about FTN probably, to make more n00bs fell in love with your site and push 'em to lick ya bowlZ to get that invitation. Who knows, who cares, but one thing is obvious one lie create more other lies, lots ppl on FST will keeps lying and breaking their moral principles just to get to FTN and their will be disappointed, cause site is actually not that great. Someone may think otherwise, it's their total right to do so, but most of FTN members even if they think that site is not that good, won't say that just to keep that hype alive and not to get BRANDON THE GREATEST, mwahahahaha, mad. It's a shame ppl, look at yourself, you betrading yourself and your principles for the reason that not worth it. Open your eyes and give teh world an honest opinion on the site, stop licking Bs balls! Respect yourself.

Why I don't see here any other tracker's stuff talking about their sites: Bla-bla-bla, we good, bla-bla-bla, we superb, we user oriented, others are about business. And then when someone admits the truth that there are trackers better than FTN then we see "your comment is worth nothing".

I like this two comments:


Firstly, why do you assume everyone wants to be have an account there? I DON"T; not for the moment, and not in the near future.


Publicity because of threads such as this.

And this one goes to the human stupidity bank:


It's pretty obvious actually.
Whenever you download something from FTN you'll always enjoy more than twice as much as you would, if you had downloaded it from another tracker.

And to ppl saying about the "very nice staff". I haven't seen the other FTN stuff than Brandon here, but looking at his posts and actions here, and attitude to the FST members, and all the stupid jokes and self-hype, and lies must say you must be kidding me :O Really hope that the other stuff at FTN not like him and much better ppl, otherwise, omen FTN :dabs:

[Lowfront]

FTN is my favorite tracker by far

security
community
content
speed
small user base

[TP635]

My above comment that you quoted does not mean that Ftn is not good, it just mean that I am not not suitable to have an account there and therefore will not even think about getting one, at least not in the near future.

And to be fair I don't even need an SCT account even if someone offer one. (I don't have the speed)

Now, can someone offer me an invite to TPB:cool:

[DasFox]

Do someone knows when they will let invites open again?

[The Wanderer]

I find it funny that everybody talks about SCT and nobody about BitmeTV where in my opinion the p2l is so much worse.

I remember seeing a member getting a warning for some minor offence (post in their forums) and then being advised to make a donation just to please the staff. And no they were not kidding about that.

Judging by the fact that your post related NOTHING to the topic, I'm going to state the obvious that this was a personal attack towards me considering it was pretty much only that..

First off, before invites were closed I did get pm's daily saying "keep up the good work", "love the site man, thanks for having me", etc. You state that I can't count, however I don't remember throwing a number out there. Who's the one who can't count now?

Secondly, if I wanted to create hype.. why would I close invites? Explain that one.. No sense in creating hype about a site that nobody can get into.

Thirdly, I'd like to ask you this.. Can you read? Because apparently not.
Lets try again, click here http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/p-why-do-people-want-so-much-ftn-post2691546/postcount41

Let me quote myself for you. "I won't disagree that we are far from best"
So.. are you ignorant? Or are you just trying to create a pointless argument? I find it pretty funny you can state i'm trying to hype up my site yet I'm not even saying it's the best :rolleyes:

Hate to break it to you but your post just lost all credit bro.

PS: I love how your signature says "Won't reject SCT invite http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../images/smilies/whistling.gif"

Open your eyes and give teh world an honest opinion on the site, stop licking Bs balls! Respect yourself.

What are these "moral principles" you speak of?
And if you don't mind me asking, how do you know if FTN is good or not?



And this one goes to the human stupidity bank:


It's pretty obvious actually.
Whenever you download something from FTN you'll always enjoy more than twice as much as you would, if you had downloaded it from another tracker.

Haha omg, haven't you ever heard of a "joke"? I doubt any moderately intelligent person would take that post seriously.

And why are you attacking Brandon? If you think that will get you an invite to scT then you're wrong.

[Lowfront]

FTN is my favorite tracker by far

security
community
content
speed
small user base

Security is in every Tracker site... Community is everywhere and content aswell as speed.
Small user base is just vice versa to the above.



ya you clearly are not on FTN,

FTN has the best users on the net

the forum is unlike any other

[psychophil]

People will always need things, and the harder it to get their hands on what they need, the more they need it.
I don't know Brandon personally but FFS give it a rest, I think he has better things to do than answer lame posts, slagging him off.

[Innos]

When are other trackers with much more files and with excelent speeds
You got the answers please close this thread ...it`s becoming something els ;)
:offtopic:

[jonny81985]

One of two:
- you can't count
- you lying

Lets imagine how many from less than 5 K members (even less, if you talking only about ppl, you invited personally, which you do) will send you a pm in 1 taken day. Will this number be even in 2 digit? Don't think so. Can Brandon count from 1 to 99? Hope he can :lol: Then the conclusion is simple - you are lying about that number. Next question is why you are lying, to create more hype about FTN probably, to make more n00bs fell in love with your site and push 'em to lick ya bowlZ to get that invitation. Who knows, who cares, but one thing is obvious one lie create more other lies, lots ppl on FST will keeps lying and breaking their moral principles just to get to FTN and their will be disappointed, cause site is actually not that great. Someone may think otherwise, it's their total right to do so, but most of FTN members even if they think that site is not that good, won't say that just to keep that hype alive and not to get BRANDON THE GREATEST, mwahahahaha, mad. It's a shame ppl, look at yourself, you betrading yourself and your principles for the reason that not worth it. Open your eyes and give teh world an honest opinion on the site, stop licking Bs balls! Respect yourself.

Why I don't see here any other tracker's stuff talking about their sites: Bla-bla-bla, we good, bla-bla-bla, we superb, we user oriented, others are about business. And then when someone admits the truth that there are trackers better than FTN then we see "your comment is worth nothing".

I like this two comments:




Publicity because of threads such as this.

And this one goes to the human stupidity bank:


It's pretty obvious actually.
Whenever you download something from FTN you'll always enjoy more than twice as much as you would, if you had downloaded it from another tracker.

And to ppl saying about the "very nice staff". I haven't seen the other FTN stuff than Brandon here, but looking at his posts and actions here, and attitude to the FST members, and all the stupid jokes and self-hype, and lies must say you must be kidding me :O Really hope that the other stuff at FTN not like him and much better ppl, otherwise, omen FTN :dabs:

Judging by the fact that your post related NOTHING to the topic, I'm going to state the obvious that this was a personal attack towards me considering it was pretty much only that..

First off, before invites were closed I did get pm's daily saying "keep up the good work", "love the site man, thanks for having me", etc. You state that I can't count, however I don't remember throwing a number out there. Who's the one who can't count now?

Secondly, if I wanted to create hype.. why would I close invites? Explain that one.. No sense in creating hype about a site that nobody can get into.

Thirdly, I'd like to ask you this.. Can you read? Because apparently not.
Lets try again, click here http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/p-why-do-people-want-so-much-ftn-post2691546/postcount41

Let me quote myself for you. "I won't disagree that we are far from best"
So.. are you ignorant? Or are you just trying to create a pointless argument? I find it pretty funny you can state i'm trying to hype up my site yet I'm not even saying it's the best :rolleyes:

Hate to break it to you but your post just lost all credit bro.

PS: I love how your signature says "Won't reject SCT invite http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../images/smilies/whistling.gif"
Who's the one licking sct's balls? ;)

I have no idea who that dude is, but I for one can say that the way he portrays ftn is completely wrong.

I just joined today and I think it is a great site. It may not be the best in pretimes, speed, blah blah but we all have other trackers for that. The thing that makes ftn so great really is the community. Within half an hour of creating my account I had like 15 pm's welcoming there. This was from people i know and dont know.

Then i went on the irc. Everyone their is extremely nice, helpfuuul, and know how to joke around. As far as I am concerned ftn really is one of the best sites, but not for all those stupid reason that dont matter.

As far as Brandon wanting people to kiss his ass and suck up to him, that isnt true at all. I dont know him very well at all, but he was the one who invited me their. He didnt expect or require anything from me at all. He saw I was a good user and just asked me for my email. I no way did he act like he was any better than me or that he was the shit cause he owns the tracker.

I personally have a lot of respect for someone like that. In reading your post it seems like you are either ignorant or jelouse. Really doesnt matter which, but I would atleast hope you could think about what your sayin before posting in public.

It's mostly because of FTN's humanitarian work in feeding underprivileged torrent users for years.

[fuzzyrabo12]

Ftn dont have ratio system so everything is freeleech forever

so i think this is the reasone why many people want FTN

That is a good point, or maby to show-off with it lol:D because it is very hard to get.

[Annoyed]

The main two reasons(that have been mentioned over and over and...) are the no ratio thing, and the overall nice community.

It would just be nice to be a member of a site that gets all the new stuff very quick, and if you have a slow connection, you don't have to worry about downloading it. And also to go into the forums and make a post and not get flamed/criticized for it.

Because they can't have it and people want what they can't have. Is the same with any rare tracker.

[gconway]

rarity more than anything most likely.

[VIZFX]

I think this question has been fully answered now. Let's move on...

[fOrUmAs]

probably 80% of members at FTN are from FST lol

i just wonder is staff didint no about this place from where will they picking members to FTN lol

[briand5379]

Because they can't have it and people want what they can't have. Is the same with any rare tracker.This pretty much describes the reasoning on people all though it doesn't just go for FTN there are quite a few other sites out there where it rings true. I think for the small membership FTN does well.

[sokrates]

probably 80% of members at FTN are from FST lol

i just wonder is staff didint no about this place from where will they picking members to FTN lol
can you explain the 2nd sentence so i can understand it properly?

I think he means:

[soulreaper]

Ftn is a combination of rarity,quality and profanity which is why everyone wants it.
They also have a special section(accessible only to ftn heros and above classes) in the forums where celebs like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan whine about their weight loss regimes.

[sokrates]

hm then i have to become vip! :P
@renwickftw your sentence isnt correct either..
i can think of what he means myself btw.. but its not about what i think.. its about what he meant to say ;)

[mera]

I am not a member but I've heard good things about it - friendly staff, good community, content & rarity.

[danio]

i think it's all because of the midget porn

[grimms]

Just like all the rest of the top sites. Great community(With helpful members), Great content(Mostly through requests), and a warm overall good feel. Same with FSC and some of the others. Just a great place to hang out and chill at really.

[GOOLOOMGOOLOOM]

very easy answer to your question m8 : beacuse they cant get it :D

probably 80% of members at FTN are from FST

more like less than 8%

[SenorBubbz]

Firstly, why do you assume everyone wants to be have an account there? I DON"T; not for the moment, and not in the near future.

Me neither.
Right now I don't have my sights on any tracker. I'm perfectly content with the ones I have right now and when the time comes that I feel I'm ready fr something more, I'll make my way up the ladder. I won't jump from a level 3 torrenter to a level 9...

[The Gladiator]

Because they are collectors... :P

[jonny81985]

I dont think its fair to say everyone who wants FTN is a collector :)

[idsos]

People want what they cant have.

[fOrUmAs]

probably 80% of members at FTN are from FST

much more then 8% for sure:)

[The Gladiator]

I dont think its fair to say everyone who wants FTN is a collector :)

I was just kidding, in your case, you got FTN some days ago and i don't think you are a collector :)

[Gish]

this question is asked so much and still becomes the longest thread ever. over and over like a skipping record and people don't know how to use the search feature!
LoL.....

[saulin]

lol yeah! just like FTN requests.

[rogerse]

Pretty much everyone wants to get in..and those who say they don't would probably take up the chance in a heartbeat.

[saulin]

Is just another tracker dude. The one thing that makes it especial I guess is that there is no ratio now and I think that was put in place because people were not using the tracker because it was hard to seed.

Other than that I really don't see what the big deal is. Wow I guess the staff is very friendly too. Which I agree with since Brandon has given so many invites here to strangers. But really just another tracker.

[rogerse]

No ratio system?, WTF?.It must be a snails pace they're then, I really don't see the big deal.

[jonny81985]

I dont think its fair to say everyone who wants FTN is a collector :)

I was just kidding, in your case, you got FTN some days ago and i don't think you are a collector :)

LOL dont worry i didnt take offense to it, I jus think sometimes people think because something is a high level other people cant want it for what it offers instead of rarity :). I can definetely agree that alot of people do want it for rarity and collection. I just wanted to make sure the good guys get credit to ;)

Jon

[sanjana]

I guess community, pretime, speed and infact free ratio makes FTN unique..

So, it is proud to be a part of it...:)

[dmanjohn]

I think it's just for peoples e-penis'

This the first time i've heard of ftn. either they must be bad or really good that no peole wants them to share abt it a lot

[Idanp]

ppl want it just because the rarity..nothing special in it
ScT the best tracker out there in everything speed/content/pre times/community

[wevotedno]

Probably because of the ratio and for sure because of the ranking here in FST. About its community, a pal told me they are very friendly.

But mind you, even mentioning ScT and FTN and sites like that makes ppl very defensive and offended apparently.

Check thid thread i started earlier and you will get an idea. You cant even joke about them

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bittorrent-invites-90/t-i-have-sct-297401

also the "rediculus" avatar never helped. :whistling

[singing_sol]

might be the speed is the trick of the day

[robotpirate]

most notably the no-ratio thing.

[ewerest]

just to feel special and say "i have an account of FTN"

[The Flying Cow]

I find it funny that everybody talks about SCT and nobody about BitmeTV where in my opinion the p2l is so much worse.

I remember seeing a member getting a warning for some minor offence (post in their forums) and then being advised to make a donation just to please the staff. And no they were not kidding about that.

That's true. ScT may have racist and sometimes daft staff (a bit on the 'closing topics whenever they feel like it' attitude), but if you're not a complete idiot, and read site FAQ/rules, you shouldn't have any trouble there. I'm active in their forums and never had any problems.
But BitMeTV staff is the real rotten apple. They just suck.



cruel staff

In a nutshell, yes.



FTN has the best users on the net
the forum is unlike any other

I don't know how you can tell it has the "best users on the net" and what your principles are to make this kind of judgement, but I'll agree that their forum is quite impressive for a private tracker.



It's mostly because of FTN's humanitarian work in feeding underprivileged torrent users for years.

True dat.



cuz they are gays

:wacko::pinch::O:ermm::whistling



ppl want it just because the rarity..nothing special in it
ScT the best tracker out there in everything speed/content/pre times/community

ScT is a top tracker contender, in the practical sense, but you can't say it has the best community. It's the best torrent factory, is how I see it. Very good, established uploading team and quality pretime work (many if not most of the time in 0second/0minute speeds), and very large arsenal of content.



just to feel special and say "i have an account of FTN"

Also true. A lot of people (I notice) get in FTN and have signatures on here with their FTN nick or showing they own an account there, but then I am active there and never saw any of them. So they are inactive there, but active here bragging about being a member there. :lol:


My view: the OP should ask himself (if he's already in FTN now) - why did you want FTN in the first place? I wanted it coz of the thrill of the unknown. I had heard of a no-ratio system, which I thought was a novelty. iTS has the same system. Anyway, upon arrival, I was more than impressed with the generally welcoming and chilled out atmosphere there.

You can't compare it, in that sense, with most other private trackers. I'm not @ FSC or FTWR, but I can tell these are like FTN in that respect - a nice community. At the end of the day, if you just want to leech away, stick with TL/PiSexy/etc.

[monk3y]

Most users in FST wants it for the same reason they want uk-t, e**** and f***.

Others wants for the great packs, community and the fact it's ratio-free.

[EMZ]

When i didn't have FTN i wanted it because "FTN and ScT r the best 0day trackers on the world" (u know what i mean). When i got it i realised that it's nothing special. Yeah, yeah they have nice speeds. I heard from a lot of ppl that FTN community is awesome. Well, forums are as awesome as on any other trackers imo. I don't hangin out on their IRC so i can't make a statement about it.
All in all, FTN is a nice tracker, but that's all :)

[0riGiNaLBoX]

i think because it is a high level and no ratio system

[Sonnentier]

because it's high-level tracker and everybody adores

[F.B.I]

Most users in FST wants it for the same reason they want uk-t, e**** and f***.

Others wants for the great packs, community and the fact it's ratio-free.

Just that.

[ahcorac72]

Yes, because FTN is high-level tracker, and not have ratio system.

[~Ryo~]

any one needs a free invite first so if u can give me an invite i will be gratful

[markupmaster]

Unfortunately.. Many only want it for their e-penis.. :(

[fOrUmAs]

because it's high-level tracker and everybody adores

probably why is he high lvl site becuase its very hard to get in,and that is probably the main reasone,its almost like any other site there

ftn dont have ratio (1000 said before)

and ftn also have great community (compare to other sites that dont have even close like ftn)

other than that its same as anyother good site (with great speed..bla..bla)

That lvl list is a big BS anyway;)

[BlueLabel]

WOW I cant believe I read the all 15 pages......

:(

A very sad thing, in my opinion.

I don´t give a crap about stepping down to level 1 or climbing to level 33.

As far as I know FTN has not had problems with reaching the monthly costs, and if that would be that way, I´m pretty sure that if they ask for help offering nothing in change they would get what they need.
With this, FTN, at least for me, has lost something of that that made of it an unique site. :cry:

[Costello]

FTN it's just for fucking lvl,rarity & most of all trade....!

[sokrates]

it's gonna go down a few levels soon, because invites are being handed out to all donors..
not to all donors.. only the ones that donated this month till it reached the 100%. after having invites disabled for quite a time i am really wondering why they are giving them out that easily now. lets hope they wont regret it..

[1000possibleclaws]

FTN it's just for fucking lvl,rarity & most of all trade....!


are you a member? the content and community is great. many members seedbox huge packs which is very generous of them

[LuckIEE]

because of people who make FTN what it is today.
thats what i think and i dont have FTN lol

[Presto]

They want it only for one reason - they don't have it and because you people have made them believe that it's a place like no other. I admit being one of the victim of this hype.

fOrUmAs' post is an example of how misleading some people with their information can be..

- They have no ratio, neither do they have any peers.. that's actually quite interesting phenomenon, because to most people it's the primary reason to join ftn - why don't you use the opportunity once you have given it? I guess it's either because the tracker doesn't offer that much or because people simply prefer the upload/download/ratio system.

- I guess "great community" is a bit more subjective. The truth is that the forum is relatively inactive and it looks like only a really small percentage of the users are actually posting and taking part of forum activities. And to be honest the users don't really have much to look forward to, because there simply isn't much going on. There are no comps, contests etc. sort of fun, which would involve all the users. I don't know about the IRC myself though.

- Well I don't really whine about the speeds etc., because I'm thankful for every file uploaded. But I guess the fact that the speeds are not always that good and many files don't even get uploaded is a reason why many users prefer other trackers and keep their accounts only for their bragging rights.

And I'm quite disappointed that they've become Pay2Invite site, the very same site that they bashed some few months ago. SCT(ftw) was made the object of all the e-dramas, because of pay2invite and now they're going the exact same path. Too bad.

Anyway I don't have anything against ftn and hopefully the situation will improve.

[calate]

Great 0-day, with a no ratio system

Cool forums

Cool design

Active IRC and forums

Great packs

Great speeds

Anything else?

[NA_Magus]

It's a 0-day tracker. Community is irrelevant. That's what real forums are for. No reason for me to join it as I already have my needs fulfilled.

[ClodiuS]

Because they are stupid,me too!

[pone44]

Cuz when i get into FTN (Oh and I will)..ill change my nickname to lozzerbozer and start a thread on ever "bitorrent" forum, on every torrent site and name drop FTN and Sct as many times as I can. Then Ill do a comparison between Sct and FTN and shit on users who can't get it. Ill name drop FTN like its nobodies business and the Cayman Islands, Big Black Dick premium rum!

[Brandon]

If you don't want it leave. But you will eat your words very soon.

SCT and SCC aren't the only ones on Spa... I'm sure they'll know what i'm talking about.

Are you talking to me? I didn't mean any disrespect to FTN, in fact if you see the post I made about FTN in this thread you'll see I'm not bitching in any way about it.

Just stating that the thread is going nowhere. Surely you've noticed that? :cool:

It was aimed at the thread in general. I'm just saying, yea FTN has slowed down a lot lately due to obvious reasons that were spammed to hell on this forum and others, but things are going to change very soon.

I was just hinting that I know what topsite sct and scc use, and gave the first 3 letters of the name, also hinting that it's not some big secret. Just because a torrent site can charge users for GB's and make a ton of money and pay for topsite axx and gbit servers doesn't mean they're a better site.

FTN pays for no axx, yet we're on the exact same site. To me that says a lot. Let me give you an example, keep in mind sct did this using an auto, we did it as a manual (you can see auto's on ftn by the torrent having FTN- in front of the .torrent name).

FTN uploading it manually (this takes longer)
What.Happens.In.Vegas.R5.LINE.DVDR-mVs
Uploaded 5m, 34s after pre

SCT using an auto (it's immediate)
What Happens In Vegas R5 LINE DVDR-mVs

30 seconds.
All i'm saying is, we're just as capable. So talk all the shit you want, say FTN sucks bla bla, but just because we hit a small speed bump due to my absence, doesn't mean we're finished. Just don't beg me for another invite when I prove you wrong.

[fisherman]

The answer is plain and simple for me why I want/use FTN anyway.

The site/tracker is very secure, it has all the latest scene releases with quite fast pre times, it has a very good community and.... there is no ratio!!

The no ratio is a big factor. A lot of torrenters use seedboxes to build up they're ratio's. For some very good trackers having a seedbox "was" nearly a must. I used a seedbox for a very long time but I've knocked it on the head for a couple of months as it was quite expensive as you get what you pay for when it comes to seedboxes. So to be able to go one to a tracker and not have to worry about ratio as long as you follow the rules is great.

Everybody to their own, but I'm glad to be part of FTN anyway.

[pwarrier]

F*N has it all ..... speed , rarity , community ........etc a big list ..... it has lot of packs in it .. ratio system is koolll ....a great group of staffs ..... what else can you ask for ?? i am not a member ...i have heard this from many and also to some extent u can know from the review .... i had a chance to enter provided by B but my post count here mattered ...... F*N is a tracker where ppl with slow speed also can survive .... so definitely the reasons are many to get into F*N .

[The Wanderer]

If you don't want it leave. But you will eat your words very soon.

I fully agree with that. In spite of all said in this topic, FTN is and always be a great tracker. There is something really special about this tracker imo and it has nothing to do with speeds, pretimes etc. People are actually very proud to be members of FTN and I've never see anywhere else this thing.

People are also very friendly and ready to help you with any problem you might have. If you have a low speed connection, than this tracker is for you. You can download anything and if you can't make a 1:1 ratio, you'll have to seed for only 48 hours (although this might change soon, if Brandon decides to revolutionize... yet again... the way we know the torrent world). :D

[IP.00]

When are other trackers with much more files and with excelent speeds

It is not about files..

[Disme]

I am no member of FTN so i'll restrain from venting my opinion about FTN. One should not talk about things one doesn't know.

What I do know is that this whole thread can be summarized into a few sentences, without the need of spending 18+ pages filled with bold statements from various members, some of them qualified to express their opinions, some others just wanting to vent their frustrations for not getting into FTN, and some others that are judgemental just because they are members at other trackers than FTN.

There are some things in this thread though I would like to react to because i find them a little odd.

On page 8 you (Brandon) say this:


if I wanted to create hype.. why would I close invites? Explain that one.. No sense in creating hype about a site that nobody can get into.

Do people want to get into FTN because access is hard. If you are honest with yourself you have to admit that a lot of people want to get in just for that reason. The demand is far greater than the supply. That is a universal law of economics and although I do not consider the 'BT-world' as the real world I have to say that some symptoms of the 'real' world apply to the 'BT-universe'.

By closing the invites you made it even more difficult to get into FTN, thus creating even smaller supply, ergo people will start to try even harder to get into FTN. Indeed...if you closed the invites for ever, and never let anymore new members into FTN and no FTN user would ever trade his/hers account than I would agree with you that closing the invite system wouldn't create a hype.

Once it would be clear for all the invite/account-diggers that there was 0% chance to get in you would have succesfully stopped the FTN hype.

I don't claim that all users are interested in FTN because of it's difficulty to get in, but surely a vast majority of them considers this fact (conscious or unconscious) as their main reason to get into FTN.

Second fact is that a lot of FTN-members are expressing their opinions about the tracker and I see a lot of positive points...the no-ratio system...the speeds...the content...the friendlyness of the staff...the warm and hearty athmosphere...maybe not the best but still very decent pré-times, etc...
This is the second reason why people want to join FTN...they hear some great things about the tracker (I am not claiming they are true because I cannot judge about that). If you would take a tracker that is as difficult to join as FTN, but without all these things the FTN members like so much, that 'hype' wouldn't last all that long imho.

I don't see the point of writing 100's of posts when the answer is really straightforward, but I believe it is only straightforward if you aren't in some way subjective because of greed, envy or vendetta.

Let every FTN-member decide if they like it or not...if they don't, they should ask the staff to delete their accounts and move on to another tracker that would fullfill their needs better.

In general I find it very courageous of you to come here to FST (and stay here) to defend your tracker, Brandon. You have not been spared by other peoples comments and keep answering them, although I am sure if I were you I would have stopped replying to those insults long ago.

Enough with my ass-kissing intermezzo ... there's something else I would like to point out about this thread.

Something has happened between ScT and FTN ... I don't know what and frankly I don't really care. I've seen a lot of threads about FTN and a whole lot of them just end in the comparison between those two trackers, sometimes it ends rather calm but most of the time it takes some mod's interference because the flaming is never far away.

You seem like a reasonable person and that is why I find it strange that you post things like this:


PS: I love how your signature says "Won't reject SCT invite http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../images/smilies/whistling.gif"
Who's the one licking sct's balls? ;)

Although you said yourself somewhere in these 18 pages you don't want this topic to evolve into a comparison between FTN and ScT you are giving yourself a very bad example.

Nobody asked, nor really needs to know the info about where ScT gets it's releases. Same goes for the pay for invites ... I think everybody knows by now how the invite-system works at ScT.
The fact you get your hands on the releases for free and ScT isn't, is really not important and anybody could come here and claim things like that, without any proof.

You yourself are starting to compare FTN with ScT (and S*C) without a real reason. It is much more credible if you just defend your tracker by naming all the positive points that were pointed out by the members of FTN that already posted here and in various other threads, than saying why you are a good tracker in comparison to others and in the mean time talking sh*t about them.

Off course I am well aware you could dismiss this post because you don't know me, because i am not an FTN member, or it would be easier for you to think I'm just another ScT-fanboy, but I can honestly tell you that I am in now way influenced when I write this and I mean this as a word of advise.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

First off I just want to say that I respect you for taking the time to write all of that and put as much effort into it as you did.

You seemed very sincere, and very neutral. I agree with what you said about the hype, and that makes total sense. I would love to be more open with the invites, however they truly were shut down for legitimate reasons other than those related to "hype". You have to understand, there truly is no point in hyping up a site that people cant get into. I worded that completely wrong in that post, the first part makes no sense now that I'm re-reading it. But my point was basically that it's pointless to create hype for something that most people won't get. It's like me showing you the new 8Ghz processor that costs $10,000. Are you going to go out and get one? Probably not.. because you know the chances of you being able to afford it are slim to none unless you have a ton of cash to blow.

The real reason we're being so short with invites is because it makes it sooooo much easier for me to control them. Say for example I see someone offering an invite for $500, I now only have to look through 20 people in order to find that person, versus say 300. Hype really means nothing when you get down to it, because eventually they're either going to like it or hate it. I could open up signups right now and I promise you people would signup regardless of hype because they're going to be curious. I can't even count on my fingers the amount of no-name trackers i've signed up to just because I wanted to check them out ;)

Regarding the last part, I only said that to make my point in saying that those hating will eat their words. When I finish working on a few things and FTN is not only getting its pretimes back in shape, as well as a few new pretty sweet things being done that I can't mention, I promise you you'll eat your words.

I drifted off for a while there, and FTN suffered for it. But big daddy B is back.

So if you don't want your account, and you'd rather say we suck when we're not only winning pre's, but also giving you the releases for free (without having to worry about ratio) and giving you those releases guaranteed with speed.. Then please PM me on site and I'll gladly disable you.


Oh, and I'm not sure if I answered the original question at all earlier in this thread, but I really think most people want FTN for the fact that you can download for free what you want at literally no cost. As in, we'll give you warez for free without you having to feel obligated to move to sweden or purchase a server or even buy GB's. Torrentbits set out to spread overpriced goods for free to those who otherwise wouldnt be able to get them. FTN is all about giving you that same mentality. Maybe some people really do appreciate that.

[BadFungus]

FTN will once and for all kick SCT ´s ass :D

and i hope Disme opinion is really that "neutral" as he says ...

[Brandon]

Actually, to be correct we were quite a bit faster every day until they "obtained" CT's auto upload script. It just took us a bit longer to re-coop in regard to the fact that we couldn't spend a couple grand a month on servers and axx because we choose not to charge the underprivileged for the same luxury as others.

But, those problems are behind us now. We will continue to do what do best. Spread overpriced shit for free at as little cost to you and to us.


PS: You can say I'm talking shit in this post, and I might be.. But I'm just being honest and correcting the above statement. "Operation Lush" was only a temporary solution.

PS2: Also for the record, I still think this "who has the fastest pretime" thing is stupid ;) Judge a site for the fact that they constantly put themselves at risk every day for you and fight to keep this stuff public and free, not because they can get it from one FTP to another FTP faster.

[BadFungus]

Well we all express ourselves just like we are and this is a community ruled by freedom of speech.

That makes sense indeed but you don't need to justify why you don't open signups or hand out loads of invites to every member. Thx though for explaining.


I can't even count on my fingers the amount of no-name trackers i've signed up to just because I wanted to check them out ;)
I second that ... I think all BT-users in their 'BT-life' have at some point done that, until some come to the point of being satisfied with what they have. And even than it's hard not to signing-up into new trackers. It's just human nature I guess.


Regarding the last part, I only said that to make my point in saying that those hating will eat their words.
I hope that you succeed in whatever you are planning to do. That kind of 'revenge' can be very satisfying. :)
I just wanted to point out that you shouldn't have used other trackers to point out the quality of your own because from what i read from FTN-members already, your tracker has more than ample positive aspects you can quote to prove your point.


When I finish working on a few things and FTN is not only getting its pretimes back in shape, as well as a few new pretty sweet things being done that I can't mention, I promise you you'll eat your words.

I guess this part wasn't meant for me but for the general public and the unsatisfied members of FTN. :P


and i hope Disme opinion is really that "neutral" as he says ...

The point isn't IF I am neutral or not ... I am sure that if you read my post carefully you cannot say I tried to create 'havoc' in this thread or was just flaming Brandon for something he said and I didn't agree with.

I think I did the best I could to discuss things in a civilised and 'neutral' way without the (usual) flaming or swearing.

I can understand that FTN and ScT aren't best friends, after all they have a lot of history between them, but since none of them has ever done something wrong vis à vis myself who I am to judge either of them.

[The Flying Cow]

Brandon said it. Freeleech on everything for ever, and soon with no forced seeding time (if it goes ahead), is something I think few sites with (even if some will still complain and bitch, because they're so 1337 they have FTN and despise it - wow, why don't you disable yourself then? :lol) a dedicated upload team, some very exclusive DVDR packs, and constant influx of ohday can boast to possess.

Let's look at iTS for example. Nice close-knit group of people, original tracker, etc. Also freeleech. But in terms of content, not the biggest treasure coffer out there, if you get what I mean.

So yeah, at the end of teh day people will always bitch and brag, and say it's overhyped and whatnot, but if you sincerely dislike it, like Brandon said, go ahead and ask for a disable. Otherwise, no point in being there, right?

And these will be the last words I say here.

FTN was and is at the forefront of the BT universe. It isn't afraid of trying new things out, and for that it can only get my approvement.

As a last statement, I think ScT and FTN can both live in the same world. Both are great at what they do, even if one or the other choose different routes. They're both excellent sites.

[BOOM]

I still think this "who has the fastest pretime" thing is stupid ;)
Agree 100%, cuz I think no one will be sitting in front of pc, pressing F5 to download a movie "1 minute and 13 seconds after pre" instead of "1 minute and 53 seconds after pre" !!

It`s crazy and ppl whit that habits should be banned from the earth imo :lol::lol:

[colombianino]

my opinion:
when i first found out about it i said BIG deal, its just rare. but then i read the review and said OMG WTF???? no ratio?!?!?!?!?

so that's basically it, ratios are a thing of the past. seriously, why track what you have taken if what counts is what you give back :happy:. off course the no-ratio system is to be monitored well.

but in some cases ratio makes it possible to maintain a site like BMTV. i think a no-ratio system would totally mess the tracker up, maybe, but maybe not.

FTN will once and for all kick SCT ´s ass :D

i must say, it makes me wanna be in FTN only for their community :P(lol call it-FTC- For The Community). its great to hear this, it seem that people that know a lot more than p2p and BT are there.

Not sure if you're talking to me, but the above was related to Ersan and ST, not me and FTN. FTN has never been backed before, in any way.

No disrespect to you, but you need to get your facts straight before you make claims like that. My ego is actually quite small, and I would hardly call defending my creation having a large ego. FTN isn't perfect, which I stated before which you might have skipped.

Have a nice day.

hey B .....why waste time replying here .....just ignore all this ..... F*N is one of the best trackers now and hopefully will continue to dominate for ever .... its quite obvious that F*N or maybe all trackers cannot fulfill each and everyones needs ... i guess all members of F*N are happy with the tracker and those having problems dont deserve to be there ..... just a piece of advice for all ........ pls stop pointing at trackers at the forums and stop d politics abt trackers .. .... there may be some flaws at each and every tracker ... Efforts are always put in to satisfy the members ... and if any member really is not happy ....no one compells him to remain ..

[Theif]

^^ Spot On. And mostly thoes who are bitching about ftn are not even members or probably have been banned. The main thing is majority of ftn members love the site which is all that matters.

And Brandon is one of the nicest and most humble down to earth sysop along with stoi.

Just wanted to add, you have a very large ego... Didn't you get owned and all of your money donated away a couple of months ago?
Have to change those passwords huh, quit using Fedora, get Debian and learn :)

No disrespect to anyone on the board, but your posts our immature and a waste of text.

I can hardly believe I responded to this. Don't bother responding, I will not read it.

These kind of posts are the real immature ones ... do you actually believe people are going to read this flame-post of yours and take you serious.

Grow up and if you have any problems with somebody/some tracker just express your feelings in a civilised manner and explain what is bothering you.
You never know if the people in charge take your criticism into account if it benefits the tracker.

[drewvs]

A hypocrite I am but I could not help but read this post again....

Your response was solid, but as I recall FTN did get "owned."

There are always two sides to the story and I respect the other side.
I could be completely wrong, I made the assumption that you were the owner of FTN, who is also named Brandon.

All assumptions aside, If I recall correctly FTN was hacked because of poor security (a password that has already been hashed.) Anyway, anyone using torrents will soon learn; torrents are garbage.

My obvious point, quit sucking ass to torrent admins, it's a waste of time [core axx is not scene].

I would like to add that if it is true, I am truly glad your distoros are Debian.

If you run X, Gnome, kde, xfce, or other? just curious.

I do not intend to flame, this is the first post I have ever responded to on any site; I do not usually waste time with this. An exception was made when I read this post, I expressed how I feel about FTN and torrents in general (an opinion.)

I stopped editing this response for the sake of not caring, it's a waste of time.

Take it or leave it, I have no one to impress. In my opinion torrents are shit, get scene or settle for groups.

Well I might be the owner of FTN, and I might not. I don't think that's really relevant, however regarding the hacking here's a link for you: http://torrentfreak.com/hackers-spend-bittorrent-tracker-donations-071229/

FTN has never to my knowledge ever been "hacked" at a site level. And if it has, they must have seen the furry friends post in the staff section and become too warm and cuddly inside to actually do anything b/c no damage has ever been done to the site in that regard.

Regarding the last part, I only use CLI for servers. I do run gnome at home for one of my main desktop PC's, but I personally find it retarded to run any type of GUI (gnome, kde, or X in general) due to the fact that it's not needed and wastes resources. I'm not a linux noob if that's what you're trying to aim at, and I do use linux as my main OS (no not ubuntu although I am impressed with it in its terms of trying to become more mainstream). If your next question has to do with the other most common when someone points that finger, my password is an alpha-numeric password that consists of a length of 14 and has both upper-case and lower-case letters, I do not run ssh on port 22, and I have locked the sshd port to my IP through iptables on the majority of my servers.

I'll be modest and say I'm not what I would personally consider any expert, but I'm in no way or shape anywhere near noob level.

Regarding the posts above about me wasting my time in here, I agree.

So having said that, carry on and have a nice day. I have an exciting dentist appointment to get to. :naughty:

:D gud one

Oh, and I'm not sure if I answered the original question at all earlier in this thread, but I really think most people want FTN for the fact that you can download for free what you want at literally no cost. As in, we'll give you warez for free without you having to feel obligated to move to sweden or purchase a server or even buy GB's. Torrentbits set out to spread overpriced goods for free to those who otherwise wouldnt be able to get them. FTN is all about giving you that same mentality. Maybe some people really do appreciate that.

That's exactly the appeal of FTN for me. I have absolutely no interest for any other trackers that are levels 4, 6-10 (except for plain curiosity, but even that is mostly satisfied by reviews).

I really don't understand why people are so interested in levels. It's my understanding that they were originally designed to help traders decide what a good trade is. Of course, I don't like trading, which is probably why I don't care about the levels at all.

[ISashaI]

I don`t understand why there in FTN are a lot of guys who don`t have the accounts for content or for that community and they have it for trade or for level this is very frustratig....I don`t say that I`m the best member but in that moment I think that I`m an good one and I have 0% changes for FTN so...

[forthat]

might be good atmosphere ok

[king2008]

Because is the very best of all?
has no ratio system,good community,very nice staff

is community really that important?..it seems like thats the cliche for FTN..i mean they're good sites like TL,What.cd but no one ever says ..oh I want access there because of the community. Im not personally commenting on the person above me but I think by now FTN (users/higher ups) know that ppl saying because of the community is BS.

[sert]

Generally I agree with the comment above me. Most people talking about community never post in the forums after they get invited.

[sear]

It's sad that t people have latched onto community as an acceptable reason to be invited to a tracker. It's become a bit of a cliche and will probably go way and be replaced with whatever flavour of the month excuse seems to work. and what sert says is true many people don't even bother to post in the forums use the irc or even download torrents :| I'm not really speaking about FTN because I've never invited anyone there more about other trackers that I can see what kind of impact people have after going on and on about how they're looking for a great community. The idea of community however isn't bullshit...some sites particularly smaller ones value their community feel and it's a shame people feel the need to abuse that.
