    There are a lot more albums on What.CD. There are currently more "albums" on What.CD than there are torrents on Waffles afaik. More than double the number of seeders/leechers too.

    However, I'd say it's still quite cool to have both accounts, because as others say of course very occasionally you will find an album on Waffles that's not yet on What.CD, however this is getting rare.
    What's Beta Team indeed knows much more than the ordinary member.

    Wait, what?

    Waffles staffs must be kind of enraged since both trackers aren't on pretty good terms.

    I remember back when What opened they were still alright with Wafles.
    Back after going through many ordeals of paying for my internet.

    lol, well, hmmm. There are a lot of ex-waffles staff on What (even WhatMan is technically ex-waffles)...

    edit: sites tend to ignore eachother, but yes, threads like this really piss people off.

    you left out an important part of that equation:

    Members Waffles: 36,558
    Members What.cd: 83,706

    they have less than half the number of members, but more than half the number of torrents.

    also, doesn't waffles remove seedless torrents after one week, and what removes them after two weeks?

    Not really. The What.CD log checker shows you a lot more about how well a FLAC rip has been made, and you can actually learn what you're doing wrong from reading the output... This is a lot more useful from a ripping education standpoint, and it also is not susceptible to human error.

    There are a lot more albums on What.CD. There are currently more "albums" on What.CD than there are torrents on Waffles afaik. More than double the number of seeders/leechers too.

    that's nice except last time i checked, the log checker is not accurate.

    Well, I'm sure in your opinion you like how What does stuffs compared to Waffles.

    In no way should anybody compare any trackers even if they can offer the same content.

    So, does contribution per member really matter? Oh right, you're all "in it for the community"
    What's overall stats are better
    And before anyone says what stacks formats, what have more unique albums than waffles has total (or at least it still did a couple days ago, waffles homepage is not loading)
