no way.
a while ago the only tracker that had no ratio was FTN...maybe there were few more but FTN was the significant one from what i remember.
then another site iTS (?) implemented no ratio...and them bam bam bam no ratio trackers growing like mushroom.
all no ratio trackers that exist today still run on ratio free concept ftn created over a year ago! they still have those "have to seed to 1:1 ratio or minimum of xx hours" rule. none, have actually experimented with it. most of them have sticked with 72 or 48 or w/e hours seed time from day one....WHY? just for the heak of it.
most of these trackers probably have not asked themselves "does ratio-free really work?"...they likely just did ratio free coz it's 'kwel' to do so. i mean, if they actually knew if it works or not...if they actually had experimented with it, their seeder/leecher column in browse.php would not be empty.
just watch and see...90% of new ratio-free trakcer have or will phail.
P.S. i'm not against ratio-free concept. I love it. But i certaily don't like when trackers implement stuff, especially those that someone else already did, just for the heak of it.
