'Ever considered the fact that not all sites might actually want 100,000 users?saving a tracker for people who get invited to their site and then try for the next tracker because they heard that tracker also had great community...the balls
It's not about "saving" anything for anyone, it's about trying to keep the size of the userbase under control.
The mentality of filesharingtalk users and their site levelling systems doesn't really come into the site plan for most trackers to be honest.
Im sorry, but a torrent site is all abut sharing. "dont want 100.000 users"? So fucking what? Who cares what you want, share and share alike right? So lets limit the people who can share? Stupid.
This is whats wrong with the mentality nowadays, yes the leveling is part of the problem, but the bigger problem is trackers who think that are too special to have 100.000 members... news is, you arent. 100.000 is better than 5.000 any day sorry to say.
Exclusivity is the devil and everyone should know that.
Go Leafs Go.

Each and every "elite" tracker has this mentality. Somehow, limiting your userbase to a very small, "select" group of people (which, in large part, are members on all of them) makes you super special. It's complete fucking nonsense and will inevitably lead to stagnation and a total lack of interest, but that's their choice, I suppose. It seems like a lot of trouble to go to just to end up being just another tracker, but with "an awesome community." The quoted part of that sentence makes me want to wretch, by the way.

EDIT: to clarify, even though some of these trackers are desirable, this does not necessarily mean that its a good thing. Yes, a tracker that serves lossless music is desirelable to me, but does not need to be be so "community based" or "exclusive", thats just anti-sharing. Please dont give me this 'security' shit. If I were an agent of a organization who wanted to do harm, I could get any tracker just about and get all the info I needed.

If someone wants to start a torrent site and limit the number of members to 5000 why is it wrong for them to do this and how on earth are they somehow ruining bitorrent?These are the places that ruin bitorrent IMO
Nobody has the 'right' to join any private torrent site no matter how big or small the membership base.
As for these sites being 'elitist' it is the traders here that turn these sites into 'elite' sites, not the sites themselves or their users.

what is it with people like this that desperately hold on to this lvl/elitist mentality?? elitism has nothing to do with it.. if a tracker wants to remain small they are called elitist.. and if a tracker want's to grow people start crying about lvls ??? you guys need to make up your minds on what you want because you can't have it both ways..
and you say TRACKERS HAVE ISSUES!!??....
TRADING SUCKS DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
