[cinephilia]

I don't see any poll

Edit: ok, i see it now

I vote for PTN.

[ben99]

vortex? are you kidding me?

anyways hard choice between ptn and sbits as they are both great sites. In the end I chose ptn as it gave me the opportunity to meet a bunch of really cool people.

[1000possibleclaws]

I don't recognize half of those trackers since you've decided to make acronyms for all of them :pinch: Where's GFTracker?

[respawn40]

I chose PTN because everyone there is awesome. And I just love their gold system/total traffic :)

exactly my thought

[Polarbear]

Where's GFTracker?

not founded in 2008 according to the nomination thread.

[alcoholik]

i think ptn is the best :D

[dragoi92]

i think ptn is the best :D

I am not member in PTN but i heard that is a good tracker
so i vote for PTN:)

[Rigel9]

StC FTW!

[1000possibleclaws]

Where's GFTracker?

not founded in 2008 according to the nomination thread.

Ya, and read my post as well. It seems it's pretty much the same situation as TiT. Again, I'm not 100% sure, but I know that there are no accounts over a year old in that version of the tracker. I dunno I'm just not gonna vote then.

[bebytza]

I vote for TiT ;)...

too late. blame the guy who posted a wrong screenshot. i don't know the tracker i couldn't know.

[BluRossonero]

Don't know what skittles and vortex are.. never seen them.. so I'll go with PTN !

:thumbsup:

[mrnobody]

i only know 3 or 4 of them :pinch:

edit: nomination and poll in same day? weired.

i'm just saying, not like i care or anything.

[spark]

TV-Vault, the design sucks but the contents rock

[roon3y]

stb ftw!!! <3

Ptn rox too :D

[Detale]

Well well. Look who crawled out of the litterbox. Good to see you.

Where's TTC?? They should be up there as well.

[Polarbear]

Where's TTC?? They should be up there as well.

not founded in 2008 as you should know.

[piratebot]

PTN pwns all the others combined.

[puckface]

Feed the Meter hasn't gotten any votes yet :(

[respawn40]

:huh:

[Detale]

Where's TTC?? They should be up there as well.

not founded in 2008 as you should know.
No but it was "changed" in 2008 wasn't it? Same as Tit was reborn this year. I'll check when because I may be wrong.

[Night0wl]

SDBits for me I think. I really like their content.

[viru5]

STB diserv it.

[waki]

skittles, obv

[TrAnCeTaSTiC]

PTN 4tw!

[integral]

Why is TiT on the list and GFT isn't?

[abosamer]

Voted for PTN

[(I)]

If PTN is the best, then this year was a shitty year, sorry
Lots of secret sites with 1 seeder 0 leecher for all torrents lol, what is bittorrent all about anyway

[Cabalo]

here is the poll for the official fst bittorrent newcomer award 2008

vote! and feel free to leave comments or something else.

the winner will be announced on january, 1st 2009.

[NA_Magus]

Don't know a single tracker, just heard of like two or three.
Abstained.

[manbearpig]

I voted for ptn :)

[respawn40]

Thanks for the funnies, Cabalo :P

[bumrocks]

I voted for PtN myself...Regardless, of what you think of the tracker they have one of the best staffs around, imo.

I find the two votes for iFi rather funny, btw...

And I second Cabolos statement...It is rather funny being "official" and all...

[Funkin']

I also voted for PTN. That tracker has been so many times this year, but they just keep coming back up. The staff is very commited, along with being some of the nicest staff that I know.

I will also going jump on the Cabalo bandwagon. :P The dude always tells it like it is.

[kukushka]

what polarbear is saying, it's always official, remember this, you noobs :P:frusty::sick:
wonder if skittles came out of beta stage and what does the term "founded" could mean exactly ;)

ps not voting, sry :)

[pone44]

P*n is a great site, great staff content, point-traffic system. On the bandwagon for my own reasons. :P

Love the site, great work DC and staff!

[Polarbear]

SDBits for me I think. I really like their content.

i voted for sdbits as well.

[Funkin']

Yeah, I was actually debating between SDBits and PTN. These were my two choices. SDBits has some beautiful content, but I chose PTN just for what it's been through.

[Disme]

I simply don't give a crap ... it's just another way to find out what trackers people have so a ton of beggers can start sending PM's for invites, only this time it's an 'official' thread :rolleyes:

[Intr4ns1t]

I haven't voted yet, and i won't do it in the future. So I believe I am not lying when saying I don't give a crap what tracker is the best newcomer in 2008, or any other year.

What i do give a crap about is the quality of a thread like this, and the thousands of other 'what is your favourite tracker' in all it's varieties. :frusty:

I can't argue with you on this second post at all. I'll chalk my response to the first post up to a lack of specificity, and the appearance of animosity :P I guess I was being a bit more literal in my definition of "giving a crap" by including a negative opinion in caring one way or the other.

[010]

Skittles

[EstelleD]

PtN for sure :happy:

[Rigel9]

lol, what idiot voted for vortex...

[hijump]

PTN ftw

[tX]

lol, what idiot voted for vortex...

OR the two that voted for IFI :ermm:

PTN leading... Can't say I'm surprised though, their users would be sure to make a trip here to vote :dry:

[BluRossonero]

Everyone has the right to vote. No one is an idiot for having a different opinion. It was their choise to vote for ifi, for vortex. I don't even know how these trackers are, but it doesn't matter how they are. If the other persons found something interesting there, it's his problem.

[conopida]

It`s an unfair poll,PtN will win for sure...Anyway,good luck to all involved in those trackers,I wish you an new year full of leechers and donors,new designers ,faster servers and old seeds.

God bless p2p,BT,scene and all pirates

[jars]

I voted STC because of my love for no ratio trackers. When brokenstones down, it became a must have for mac torrenters and even to this day, it arguably as good as the returned brokenstones for content yet ahead due to no ratio (INHO). I would've also voted PTN for the exact reason but you can only vote once.

[buggyfresh]

here is the poll for the official fst bittorrent newcomer award 2008

cartoonchaos :D

[ajsi]

well, i would like to vote for gft cause i think it was found in 08, but whatever, op knows better. so my vote goes for sdbits

[monk3y]

congrats ptn, great staff - had overcome a difficult situation.

[basilhaydens]

OMGZ ptn is so awesomeness it cannot be put into the same poll as these other trackerz. W00tz

Well, at least when the site is operational.

[Polarbear]

i just noticed that i made a small typo. ptb is supposed to be ptp (passthepopcorn). i don't know anything about this site, maybe that's why it happend. i doubt that it'll beat the winner, but nevertheless i'm sorry about that.

the poll can't be edited.

but u can write this in the first page so everyone can see that ptb is ptp(passthepopcorn)

How is an open poll, with each person getting one vote, not held in Florida, an unfair poll? To be frank, I do agree with disme on the fact that this is an overdone and unnecessary subject matter, but really?

w00t, that 52 votes out of the how many thousands of members of FST sure makes me positive that it's a fix. :blink: I personally could care two whits about winning a poll at a site that has never borne any kind of favoritism or above average consideration for our site(in fact in alot of cases, quite the opposite in me estimation)

Thank you much for the well wishes, really, and I wish the same for any site out there that is willing to persevere and make their site work even if luck, life, and the world around them appear to be stacked against them as those are the sites that embody what sharing is all about. Not just the good times and the high esteem, but the shit rep and crap talking too. All the feeble seedbox ddosing and broken machinery, the kick ass packs and good conversation, The bugs, that sometimes turn into butterflys, the great ideas that don't quite work. All that shit is why I do this, and I'm sure the same can be said for alot of our loyal active users who've been there from the start. We aren't the only site in the world that suffers from downtime you know, we just happen to get it talked about disdainfully more frequently from people who hold a grudge for whatever reason.

While at the outset, we had a horrific reception here, and that was partly our fault and partly the fault of a bunch of kiddies that decided to make their own userbars for a site they knew nothing about(ffs, some of those user bars were on this site well before we we're online) . That is where alot of the animosity on this board started as far as I can tell, and I don't get why it continues. We work hard, we change the things that need changed as time permits, we try to create a user friendly environment, and I guess our users appreciate it.

Sorry to present all these words and stuff, but I get really tired of the PtN bashing. if you don't like it, then please PM on site and ask to be disabled. If you aren't there, then what do you know? If you don't care, then why even bother? I'm posting here because for ill or nil our users feel more comfortable with expressing their enjoyment of our tracker. It's laughable to me that a site with 1400 users could possibly be considered to have an unfair advantage in this affair, but hey, it's an opinion poll, so we are all entitled to our opinions huh? :frusty:

[flashback3r]

Anyway,good luck to all involved in those trackers,I wish you an new year full of leechers and donors,new designers ,faster servers and old seeds.

God bless p2p,BT,scene and all pirates

Well said :happy:

[hagckz0r]

I have just voted for PTN, it is my one of my favorites

[kooftspc11]

this list is just a giant pile of shit...who in their right minds would vote for any of these crappy sites?

I'm assuming he meant unfair in that other trackers (GFT,TTC,etc..) were left out, which would have sucked up alot of votes

[puckface]

this list is just a giant pile of shit...who in their right minds would vote for any of these crappy sites?


haha, youre right. SDBits is the only site worth anything on this list. Thats only because of the internal encoders.




I'm assuming he meant unfair in that other trackers (GFT,TTC,etc..) were left out, which would have sucked up alot of votes

and I do this think that *someone* established that GFT and TTC were established in 2007. Not like it matters. And in that respect TiT shouldnt be here either.

[mrnobody]

and where the f**k is RTS v10?

[Albo Da Kid]

lolol squirr3l

[wiseD]

and where the f**k is RTS v10?
They went down recently mate.

v11 coming up though - check the blog for updates :)

[maldini 3]

Of course PTN

[thrillerboy]

Tehconnection.. I don't have any other :/

[NA_Magus]

v11 coming up though - check the blog for updates :)

The blog requires you to go through five fake pages and two passwords for each page.

[cinephilia]

I'm really surprised to see that tehconnection get more voices than SDBits

[tX]

I'm really surprised to see that tehconnection get more voices than SDBits

I would've ranked them about the same, and above PTN
Sorry, but a tracker with 1.5k members will never get my vote. Let's not mention forums where the forum games and pr0n threads seem to account for half the posts :dry:
Don't get my wrong, PtN is unique in it's own ways, but best? Not quite.

[pone44]

Not a member of the other but P*n is a great site. Heard good things on sdbits too.

[apextwin146]

@PB - If GfT wasnt a part of this Poll in 2007 then surely it can be made a part of this poll .. It wudnt be that lopsided then with every tom dick and harry supporting a site that has just managed to kept itself alive through the year .. Its get too many sympathy votes
I get it that the staff it good but if u r a good user then u dont need the staff to support you all the way .. Ultimately its the content that matters in the end and u have a strong contender in form of the mafia family .. IMO it actually beats teh PTN straight out in terms of security,uniqueness and content ..

allright, so once again:



was gft founded in 2008 or not?

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/8725/gft818ln8.png

look at the date

i'm not a member of gft (nor ptn btw.), so i can only rely on other's information. according to this screenshot gft was founded before 2008. this poll is about sites that came up in 2008! it's not best site, but best newcomer.

if the information is wrong, blame the user who posted the screenshot. the poll can't be edited anyways.

if you want to know fst's opinion about gft, open a thread: "what do you think about gft?" or "ptn vs. gft" or whatever...
