Sad news on the front page. GFT also has issues with its Paypal account, so more donations needed to keep the site alive.

From what I understand they don't necessarily target torrent sites directly, although they don't particularly want to be associated with them either. The main reason trackers have been coming to the fore and being targeted recently, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is due to the high number of disputes put into paypal linked with the accounts used by the trackers.
A lot of these disputes, although not entirely limited to, come from traders donating to get invites, getting the invites then 'claiming' their money back from paypal...
I know this is gonna open up a huge can of worms again... "Traders are scum of the earth" Vs "Trackers shouldn't offer invites for donations"... but who cares...
As far as I understand it, that's what the recent problems have been caused by...
Burnsy is correct with his comment.
Alot of it is traders/sellers who get caught after donations for an invite.
After you get too many disputes within a short period of time the account gets flagged and paypal tries to investigate why there are so many disputes going on.
Also from what I have been told there's alot of users from countries that are not supported in paypal using paypal to make donations. When they are found to be using paypal from these countries Paypal has been investigating where they are sending the money to as well.

You're correct, GFT news says that the high amount of disputes could possibly caused this.From what I understand they don't necessarily target torrent sites directly, although they don't particularly want to be associated with them either.

GFT says they may not make it to next year.
Other than paypal, what else is available for trackers to use?
So I'm wondering if the disputes are related to the donation percentage getting frozen in the 90-ish range over the past couple months, or maybe they're just sandbagging for more donations...
I'm sure they have more money than they claim.
Persona non grata
I had no idea that anything like that was even happening.
Seriously it never ceases to amaze me the depths to which some people will plunge.
Respect my lack of authority.

If it does die, it'll be very unfortunate. I'm sure a lot of people, including me, will miss it. However, "ah well."
Ellipses go here.
