Seriously users, you should just quit.
I am a exsellent speller and I use grammer very good.
Actually, speaking first hand here, the reason it's so hard to get into has nothing to do with e-penis, leetness, seed qualifications (although that does become a factor later on), wallet size, breast size (although I've never been one to turn down a pretty lady) or any of the other elitist assumptions people make about the tracker. It's hard to get into because the initial goal from day 1 even before uploading any code to any server was to keep things personal. If I wanted to build a site full of people that I'd never get to know on a personal level, who become just another name on a page with little to no contact or if any, hateful comments towards one another then I'd just start a public tracker. Or on the flip side, crank up the userdb size, start selling invites and ratio and turn it into a business like so many others and quit college so I can live at home for the rest of my life leeching off other peoples money and success while blindly calling it a donation.
I disagree that no ratio is a bad thing. The purpose of a torrent site is not to have a ratio, it is to distribute files. The only reason ratio was ever put into the equation was the balance out the system. This was then exploited later on to make money, which is also not what a torrent site was meant to be for.
I honestly can't see how you could argue that no ratio is a bad thing when used in conjunction with a strict infrastructure. P2L has a far greater negative impact on torrent sites than no-ratio, when with p2l the entire system is unbalanced helping nobody except the person walking to the bank. You do realize that with a p2l system, you basically cancel out the ratio in terms of functionality?
At least no-ratio sites put the users first rather than their wallet. But I think you already know that. You opened up a can of worms attacking a site that's been able to successfully survive for almost 3 years off the legitimate support of it's users voluntarily without the need to sell something in return. To me, that says quite a bit about the site on it's own Must be doing something right.
PS: My BT rep is even higher than yours.
Do not pm me for invites. At the moment I will not be participating here in that regard. I will ignore your pm.
I would like to see ALL "private" trackers fully closed for ever. Opening a tracker makes people TALK about that tracker. It puts the spotlight on it. And that is the LEAST thing that owners should want.
They should also change their addresses, put fake front pages, and use SSL and HTTPS.

@ Brandon - the reason FTN is so successful, is due to the fact that you keep it a closed personal community. As you say, you could easily just turn it into some money grabbing scheme. There are a few of 'em around.
But you can't deny the HUGE hype that engulfs non-members and these forums, just because it's a closed small personal community. For most people it's the whole reason for them asking/begging for it. But yeah, um, you doin' a great job so far ^^
So...
I wish that all the stupid hype and begging that surrounds trackers could just piss off.
