For myself I have not made one single trade -- ever.

For the few invites I am able to generate I immediately give them away. If it is something I have to give, I'll give it. In turn, when I am seeking an invite I'll ask if there is someone out there kind enough to share. Sometimes I get it, sometimes not; but that's ok.

Some folks (and I'm not judging -- just stating a fact) will not give period. It is all about trading, and from what I observe, special attention is always paid to making sure that the trades are either of equal value. In these cases, to obtain access to invites in this manner you need to be prepared to trade. But, one thing I have noticed about this board is that there are equal if not greater opportunities out there to receive gifts of invites. All it takes is to ask, be honest and be respectful and polite. No one appreciates giving something to someone who is pushy or demanding.

One point was made about going to forums. I've belonged to KG for about a year now, and I noticed on their forum that they have a thread for non-members to post and request invites. It's pretty easy from what I can see.

So.... ask nice, join forums, persist, and only ask for what you WANT. Don't become a compulsive collector. Myself, I focus on finding a good tracker for different kinds of torrents: KG for obscure, Demonoid for anything I can't find on other trackers, etc etc.

As the poster said above, get to know people. Good deeds work in circles!!!

So, that's my two cents....good luck. and have fun with it.

I just gave away my last ScT invite 2 days ago I wish I still had one because you're a rare breed on these boards deserving of an invite.

kallieb, it's nice that you share & give, but you should think twice. More than often, those people, who desperately ask for your invite, will get you banned. There's too many of them.

This is true... u need to pay attention to who give invite... otherwise u can make a big mistake... and get baned... i agree with free sharing but take care with whom... good luck!

(sigh) I know you are right, but in my case I really don't have any *biggie* invites. I have given away Demonoid, Maze and SITR invites to whomever really asks. So far, these sites have not been too harsh with me, but then I've not paid too much attention to what the invitee has done.

But I would imagine as time goes by and if/when I generate invites to higher level trackers I'll have to be more careful in terms of *screening* but I do know that when the time comes to figure out what to do with my invites I know I will give them away.

What I have come to see of this site so far is that this will be the first place I'll turn to, to get advise as to how to make sure that I don't make a *bad* giveaway!

u make a good choice...
