Just got this in my inbox:



This should allow some of you with invites to finally invite those friends of yours that you believe to deserve a place here at SceneTorrents.
lt i
You will not get banned for inviting a leecher, as we appreciate it is their fauf they leech, not yours.
However we do punish users who invite cheaters, but we like to think that's quite obvious.

Only 998 spaces left since I've typed this, something makes me think we'll reach 16k easily

Please read that post kim, you misunderstood me I think.

Both sites are great. If someone was to ask me, "FTN or SCT?" I'd reply with both. Why? They both have things the other doesn't. Two completely opposite sites, both with great potential and both with their benefits. I have nothing against sct, I was once a staff member there also if you remember. If anything, SCT is anti Brandon.

The fact that there's 26,500+ invites still in the system and less than 1000 spaces doesn't suggest ScT should give older users a chance to use their invites first?

It's a struggle getting decent users to use their invites at the moment anyway.

I've invited 12 members so far, still got 3 invites, and I haven't paid a cent, nor asked for any extras. ScT has handed out enuf invites for everyone, if you haven't got any left, you either got waaay too many friends, or you're not just a cheap-ass like me =P

Good that ScT decided to open up more slots, let's see how this goes.. :naughty:

10-08-2007, 09:01 AM
Couldn't you also look at it from this viewpoint?

Because so many invites were dished out (basically to users who either don't have many friends or just don't care to use their invites), now newer users from within the past 6 months to a year have to resort to buying invites in order to invite family members, close friends, etc.

I just think the invite system needs a little tweaking is all. Obviously they are happy with the way things are but I just wanted to voice my opinion no matter how insignificant it may be.

I was trying to find that info on the FAQ but I didn't find it. Or do they randomly decide to give invites every once in a while like PT or NB?

you can buy invites, or wait till they feel like giving them out.
i know people who still have 7 invites and didn't buy one, if that helps.
but i wouldn't count on getting one for free.

Neah I think they give invites to everyone every once in a while. I'm pretty sure they did that some months ago.

older users have tons of invites available. Vidde for example who is a member since the beggining , over 2 years ago said himself he gave 12 invites , without paying. So just find a friend and earn an invite instead of crying they ask money for invites :shutup:

As dragos has said.There are many old users with invites.I am another of them :P And I have have invited 7 trustworthy people.That I know from other Sites and have known them all for over a year at least... :P And still have a few invites left.
So listen to dragos advice and do it the right way.. ;)

It's true there is no need to pay for an invite there are plenty of people out there who might pass one on to you (I speak from experience) I just wanted on for myself :P

Are you sure? probably the luck depends. Sound like easy to take one but no... I probably have or had the main trackers but this it's "special"
If there are people out there with invites, that's why they don't expend them.

yeah I want to make friends but.. they don't want to!!
Hope all people be like you, because the most stc users want to trade invites all the time, so it's impossible.

If anybody want to confide in me, will discover the truth. so please an invite!
