What makes a Private Tracker popular?

[DeadPoet]

Well, question was "What makes a Private Tracker popular?" not "What I like about tracker (or something like that)".

So here's the formula how to make a popular tracker (only works for the start, if your tracker won't be any good, popularity will drop in a short time).

First thing to do - get a catchy name with the.net in the end (this is must have).
Second thing - it must be ratioless. It's the new hit, everything ratioless is popular nowadays.
Third - get a nice layout/design to attract users showing your reviews on FST or any other filesharing forum, but remember, showing pic's of your tracker is forbidden...
Last thing - get a nice review on torrentfreak.

This is how things work nowadays...

So my vote goes for "Media and hype".

content and speed , what else

fourth thing - close the tracker and give invites to vip/donors only.

You seem to be ignoring the point I tried to make that being the most sought after by a small percentage of people isn't the same thing as being "popular"

Last thing - get a nice review on torrentfreak.

I think you mean FSF?

I'm not ignoring anything.
You might think this way but the truth is I often don't understand what you mean in your posts. Your way of writing is pretty complicated for peoples with not so good skill of english.

Maybe, they all seems so similar as I don't read those blogs so often.

The poll totals out of 214.82% btw.

It's because you could choose more than 1 answer.

content and uploader

speed is also important, difficult to say

And here I was assuming it was because I usually don't make any sense.
