    Perhaps this thread has served its point already.
    You're all over the place there. What post are you talking about?

    Come on Disme drop the patronizing tone already. We've all seen you beg Feeling for an ScT invite, with a drawing done by your daughter no less. Don't tell me you started knowing Feeling better before that. The guy's a prick. You just wanted in.

    Everyone here's done their share of efforts to get accepted places.

    It shouldn't be a motive for embarrassment; quite the contrary, it shows how selective and in the end difficult the entry process can be, as it should. Some places are not for everyone.

    You're making generalizations based on what charts and graphs? How are you certain of this 'trend'?

    We all go through a curve of more activity towards the beginning of our experience in a good new tracker, and steady decline as the novelty wears off. Another factor that needs to be equated is free time and the real world.

    Not everyone can surf trackers daily or even weekly, due to work.

    Nobody's a newbie. PB was teasing bilkenter. There's nothing wrong with wanting into the more exclusive trackers, and that shouldn't be bashed.

    Again you speak as if you didn't try to get your trackers somehow. Ultimately if it was through IRC or PM's or REQs or Lucky Draws or Competitions or GA's or whatever is irrelevant.

    It is how you treat the tracker that matters. You don't need to be active 24-7 to deserve respect or to be immune to criticism. People are active according to the time they have available, and that is laid out on a person-to-person basis.

    Leave tracker-chasers alone. At the end of the day the trackers need activity and interest in them, or they'll just wilt and die.

    So now I beg because I participated in a giveaway started by the owner of a private tracker. I don't know but I don't see any harm in that. Not to the tracker, not to FST not to anybody in fact, except maybe you because it ain't the first time you replied to me about it. You were just the Shaman back than. Nothing has changed for me since than so I maybe you should read my previous answer to your statement about me participating in GA's.

    As I said I've been around long enough to see it for myself, i don't need charts or graphics backing me up.
    And if you don't have time to visit somewhere weekly you shouldn't join

    I don't know if its a common phrasing but its quite a common saying where i come from:
    "Even the most beautiful girl has some guy who is tired of f*!*%^$ her..."

    It definitely doesn't say it all, but it says some. There is a thrill of joining a new place of which you have your share of expectations. Whether these expectations are justified is a different issue. It can either be a new Job, a new Neighborhood, a new GF. At the end of the day, as humans, we all get used to to everything, even if we once thought it was the best, and start looking for new "adventures".

    So what makes the difference between one person and another, two (major) things:
    1. The path we took to get to the new "location" and the way we wrap things up before we "move".
    2. The desire for new experiences, our interests and how long that interest lasts.

    Obviously, the 2nd of the two cannot be judged, everyone agree its subjective, there is no right and wrong... I am a strong believer in the path! Though views and interpretations are subjective they are constitute the core part of how we select our friends. Dissing others for their interpretations and views is not something i view in a positive way. Making enemies has never been useful for anyone...

    On another note, i've got to know Disme here and from everything i know i can say that we share just about the same views. Whether its good or bad, again, its subjective. Yet, i am glad to have him as a friend.

    EDIT:I apologize if my first "quote" sound sexist, i did not intend to insult anyone i just thought it might a good illustration to the point i am trying to make...

    That's a quote from the film Hitch I believe.

    I didn't say it was harmful to anyone or anything, did I?

    I was merely remarking on your condescending tone towards people who are everywhere on the IRC active so they can get their next invite.

    Forms of entering private trackers are varied and as long as you end up there the correct way are all valid.

    I was also underlining that participating in a draw like Feeling's doesn't confer with your opining about "getting to know" the tracker people.

    I bet if I ask Feeling who you are he won't know.
