This is the reason I never joined either. Most new music trackers are FULL of nothing but mainly electronic music. I guess it's because they take their releases straight from the scene.

Perhaps it was a last-resort tactic to make users feel guilty about not donating and make them finally give the necessary forty dollars.

All of which keep track of ratios. Perhaps the ratio-free aspect of SqN was attractive to some.

...and that's what Demonoid/Soulseek/Public trackers are for. It really does not take that long to download an mp3 file, you don't need the "best" speeds associated with a private tracker (although with such a small userbase, finding decent speeds may be even rarer on a site like SqN).
