Yes
No
WTF does FST or NZB or WTF stand for?
Ok Beck38
Lets try to simplify this explanation...
Are you talking about paid NZB sites are always better ??
Well I have a few that are completely free and retention goes back to day one (there is some fakes but they are usually marked pretty quick) and unlimited downloads
Private web sites are encrypted ??
Are you saying that the paid or invited NZB sites are uploading all there own files on Usenet servers or binary groups for there members to access only ?? Well how are they doing that if that is what you mean ?? I always assumed that the files are uploaded (first not re uploads) by the person closest to the source who gets the original files (or leaked) , and return may change the name (gibberish names) add a NFO (hopefully) and it is found by searching the Raw search way or loading headers, and then producing the NZB to point at the files.
Is that Wrong??
You also talk about Hiding there Postings here
Are you saying that once you search for this site on google or whatever link , and the first page that pops up is the NZB file list ??
Well if that is what you are saying... You think it should have a splash page like all private sites before you put in your sign in and password ??
I think you do have a valid point , Free or Paid , I don't think it will deter people to join here and it is not wide open if you do come by this site by accident. If that is what you are saying GOOD POINT.
You talk about running it as a business...
I am not a veteran here like some , but my use in this site is chatting in the forums , it is not my main source of Usenet downloads. And the big problem here is I don't know really what the sites main purpose is ?? I mean it is called File Sharing TALK not File Sharing NZB so what is the real main priority of this site ?? (No disrespect to the owners , to me it is a great forum talk site That is my main purpose here). Even if we make suggestions it is up to the owners how they run there site , I can honestly say I don't pay there bills , so If I make a suggestion and they like it great , but if they don't approve?? it now becomes my choice on what I want to do , to me that is cut and dry.
The biggest problem in any site private or public... none are perfect , or at least I haven't found one.
Do I think the posters here do a good job?? It is fine for the odd one I do pick up here , but my private NZB sites are quicker in most cases , and my public one I use is about the same upload time as here(the ones they choose to upload here) , just at that the other public site I go to , the selection is much larger , meaning a lot more alternate Usenet binary groups to choose from , and way better retention.(and as long as your Usenet provider can pick up the files)
I have followed a few of your post and you have mentioned that you do Mega Uploads and Downloads (with very few takedowns). Well I don't see it here , especially compared to private sites , And you must be doing it somewhere else , So I am assuming this is not your main site either.
What is your main purpose here ??(No disrespect is intended)
Now you talk about Commercial Services....
I have no idea what you are talking about ??
Could you explain that a little better so I may understand
Thanks

Both the best and the worst thing about FST is that isn't anyone in charge who actually gives a fuck*.
That means that you're perfectly welcome to drink yourself into unconsciousness in the middle of the street, just don't expect an ambulance to come and pick you up when you get run over by a truck.
*See I just cursed and yet no hypocrite censured me for supposedly corrupting the morals of some 12 year old who just spent the last two hours non-stop watching porn and videos of the Islamic State beheading people .
Anyway sorry to intrude and I now return you to Beck38.Someone so dry that he is now by himself considered the single biggest threat to the Amazonian rain forest.
Respect my lack of authority.
What upsets me now...
You are a Retired Staff Member ..I would assume that if there was a fellow FTA member drunk in the middle of the street , and the truck is barreling right at him , you would sacrifice yourself to save him. That is what I would call loyalty
As for the second analogy you are slightly wrong...
If it is a 12 year old Jewish boy (which I assume you were referring too) ... He is not allowed to play with his Pee Pee until he becomes a man and that is the age of 13 (you know a Bar Mitzvah the testis drop and pee pee is good to go) so the only option is to spend more time watching ISIS or ISIL beheading innocent people , and being disappointed that you cant play with your Schmeckle
And Beck38 I don't have any comments at this time or I plead the fifth , either one would be applicable or acceptable

Thread traction, must contribute.
Noted and accepted. Speed is not a priority for me but I understand why it is for some[what ignorant or desperate] people.
Agreed and that's a very good question! Maybe I should start a poll?
Not sure I agree or disagree, what did you say?
Props to them as well, perhaps that approach actually serves a greater good?
But you might have said some smart things, couldn't tell.
I'm so fuckin' wet !@$@!@!~!!@$#EVD#
This is your problem... you've let FST upset you.
Astute. Very astute.
Just like the NSA, I'm compelled to copy everything I want to.
DngrMs..
It was very nice how your Critiquing skills were used to break down all the thought that went into those posts.(Idol Beck38, Myself)
In my case...
Speed and Other tv programs that are not even posted on this site are important to me because I prefer to watch the shows on the same day they come out , not 2-3 days later when they are posted here(and that does happen).And if I did want to watch them while they are broadcasted , I do pay for cable (a lot of people this is there main source of viewing movies and shows , they have no other options), I just prefer to watch the shows without commercials.
So if that is not a priority to you ?? Great !! I am glade for you... To most people who join private NZB sites , I would think that would be one of the major points they are there. And I hope we both agree this is not a private site ?? So what happens here is not my major concern , being , it is not my main NZB source.
It is also nice to see your concern on how people feel....With your effort of doing these polls...
Even Know the results mean "THE SQUARE ROOT OF COCK" , and are a waste of time.......(you would get the hint on the participation I would think)
All of this is Banter , Suggestions , and Complaints , it is whatever the owners decide which way they want to site to go ,it is there decisions.
And it is not my concern what they do until it affects my uses for this site.
Again I really don't know what the sites main priority is ?? DO YOU?????
What are you trying to accomplish ???
If the things you want changed are not accomplished ?? Are you leaving??
I am not leaving because my purpose and needs I use this site for are met. I added my 2 cents for comparisons to other NZB sites.
Is this really a NZB site??? Or a bonus for the posters????
Figure that out DngrMs and you could win a "Cuppie Doll"

It's the latter as I see it. I post what I want when I feel like it.
If a user donates with some expectation of consistency, thoroughness, or speed, shame on them.
For the record, I will gladly bet you money (no Canadian) I'm faster than 99% of sites when I choose to be. It's a game.

I've lost any track of thinking along the lines of this thread (i.e., "Do you use FST as your primary NZB source for TV shows?")
Except that exactly what 'TV shows' are you talking about? Occasionally, when I miss something off a subscription service I'll find it here, sometimes weeks afterwards, so it hasn't been 'whacked' in all that time.
If it's some scripted show that's decent, I'll simply do what 99.999% of folks do, wait until it becomes available on BluRay and process it then (first for myself, then post it for whoever).
If you're talking about over the air 'free' TV shows, I don't quite get the reasoning, I'm afraid, as most of those are so poor as to remind one of 60's fare like 'Gilligan's Island' or 'Brady Bunch'. Both of which are, I might mention, completely available by subscription service at extremely low cost (as will current 'free' TV shows in the same category).
If one has bought into the 'cord cutter' mantra, and refuses to pay anything more than the cost of drive space for these 'shows', then I guess paying $x for one of these private groups access makes warm fuzzies for some folks. Go for it, but I'll bet again that simply paying a little bit for the subscription services (one way or the other) probably is cheaper and easier in the long run, rather than paying for the expanded internet access and all the other 'group' fees and machine costs that add up.
But whatever warms your cockles.
And no, I don't post the nzb's of what I upload here on FST; it's all quite obvious to anyone who does simple searches with the publicly available search sites, or by simply watching the raw headers on selected newsgroups.
