Why do popular sites prune inactive donators?

[Qlix]

You guys expect that you can remain inactive forever just because you donated $5? Oh man...

Thank you for your marvelously contributing comment

And thank you for presenting us with this opportunity .. bty i really cudnt tell if u were being sarcastic there .. But i guess thats inherent in your spastic nature isnt it ?

Well, I can see why somebody like Cirno dislikes this site so much. I haven't met many users on here, but if the majority is like you then I come to understand his reasons for it.
BTW did you see me twitching? Or how is that "spastic" explained?

The answer to the original question is rather simple: on most sites, pruning is done automatically by a script, without the intervention of staff. It's nothing personal, there is simply no code in place on most sites to distinguish between donors and other members when it comes to pruning inactive accounts.

There is, of course, the principal question of whether a donor should be getting a preferential treatment on a tracker or not, but that is a totally different question.

why is bcg so hard to get in? do they ever open regs anymore?

no never

but we do have 122,000 referrals in the db just ready to use, problem is, only 500 of those get used a month.

members are very picky who they get in.

*sigh*
man, it's all about the contents, the speed is quite relative, though on the fresh releases it is quite enough to max out my poor connection.

Well if all he cares about is speed for new releases then there's no point wasting an account on him cause he won't appreciate it. Love the site, it has practically every pc game I'd ever think of playing archived, and that's most important to me. The speeds on older torrents are generally still faster than on 0day sites IF the torrent has even been kept alive on them. It's got everything in one place and you can count on the releases too work and if something's weird with the torrent the comments are generally more helpful than your typical warez sites 'thank yous'.
