My Request - big surprise - FTN

[tiolewis]

I been here for 5 Months , I help some people , I make some friends .

And i want to join to FTN one day too , but i never make a public request for that .. because i feel like I must to do more , and be a better user here. (Not just request the invite)


I think that SgtMajor have a good point

Not all the member can request high lvl trackers. You must to deserve it.

Thats all.

And you ask for the same invite with 8 - 9 post ?

everyone has the right to make a request if it's done in a proper way.
i rather read 20 requests than one stupid trading offer.

don't put yourself down too much. if you want something, ask for it!
if it didn't work, think about what you can do better and try again.

Im not putting my self down ... if someone think of giveaway an IMPORTANT invite , i want to have facts and reasons to be consider ... not only a simple request.

Nop..
8 weeks and 200 gb upload if I'm not mistaken...
FTN power
After you've past that you can request an invite,
This doesn't mean you'll get 1

yup!!!

Waiting 5 months requires hell of patience which you have. In addition to that, with 100 rep points you are more than a trusted member. So i think, it's time you should make a request m8...i am sure there is an invite waiting for u...you just gotta call for it.

brandon doesnt seem to be giving them out anymore after those couple he did a week or 2 ago, im sure most members who have been here for a while and are active expect that if they request it wont happen, at least thats what i would expect if i were to start a thread for it. although i do have a b-day coming up in about 2 weeks, maybe i could start one around then and get lucky.

things that help when requesting a high level invite:

- introduce yourself. people want to know who they invite.
- don't tell people what you know about the site. they are members there and know that it's a great tracker.
- tell them why to invite exactly you. what makes you different from others

most important rule:

talk about youself and you bore me. talk about me and you fascinate me.
show the inviter the benefit he gets by inviting you

nobody needs to invite you. persuade people by talking about their benefits.

basically before writing a request be able to answer this questions:

-who am i?
-why should the inviter invite me?
-what's the benefit for the inviter.

quite simple.

Makes sense. In reality the onlly thing that someone can say benefits the inviter is that he will be inviting an active member of the torrenting community, one who contributes as well as takes. Of course - this is filesharing, requiring both actions. I look at some sites with ~15000 users and see that the most active torrents are downloaded maybe 1000 times, and most are downloaded 15 times, with popular tv shows being downloaded most on average of 500-1000 times. On several trackers I leech then seed simiply for the sake of leeching and seeding, and being an active member. Of course the way torrenting is set up, the best member is an active member. This is what gives large sites like TL and oink advantages over smaller ones - even if 10% of the userbase is very active, that's still a lot of active users on every torrent. This is the strength of the bittorrent protocol

This is what I have to offer - being active in the filesharing scene, and the only advantage I can think of is that the inviter will have invited a good sharer, and an active member. I'll probably see the argument that I'm not very active in this particular forum, but I never claimed to be. Of course, that said, I obviously have no proof of what I claim, which again, is why I understand that the odds are essentially 0 that I'll get an invite.

Odds: essentially 0 if asking for invite, exactly 0 if not asking

I'll take the essentially 0

In response to your post, tiolewis, I agree, you should have priority over getting a high level invite than me. I wish you luck in getting any invite you desire. You've obviously helped out a great deal and particularly by your btrep you obviously deserve it. However, I don't see the point in responding the way you did - I can ask all I want for an invite - most people don't have one, and even fewer would give me one over you.
