do u donate in trackers.....?

[Swepsycho]

if u do...why? u want bonus or u like help? :)

i donate in trackers i like.... i like bonus and i like help... ;)

[KushBlow]

Yup if it's a good tracker. And I donate to help them maintain their monthly costs.

[megabyteme]

Surprisingly, a good question. You've had some time to think, haven't you. :P

I have a few that I have "been meaning to" (isn't that the excuse we all use?), but I have not. When I do, and I will, it will be to support the sites that give me a lot of joy and entertainment. Some have really made a lot of effort to make a nice, friendly place. They do truly deserve our support!

[ca_aok]

I donate to the trackers I'm active on. I have donor stars on maybe 5-6 trackers I think. The only time I've ever donated for something remotely related to P2L was an invite to GFT for my friend.

[Hombre]

i donate very often, specially to pretome. my favourite tracker, because i have a very bad upload connection and it's the only ratioless tracker i'm part of. once i donated to scenelife and i was so stupid to do that because the site is pure shit and has now 600 torrents, many not seeded. waste of money on that tracker.

[primevil]

I donate to ratio free trackers but not the P2L.

[BrianH]

ya only to trackers that dont suck

[bas1c]

If it's worth donating to.

[akirabou]

i'm donor in all my trackers :)

[peat moss]

You know I never have , I share till my ratio is 3 to 1 . Thought about it but would rather donate to a software developer like Crap cleaner or a site like Black Viper's . Some schmuck that pays for his web space with out complaint .

It's suppose to be free , remember Fosi ?

[respawn40]

No, I don't donate. I'd like to, but I can't at the moment.

[Zaxx]

I donate $20 about once every 3 or 4 months, rotating between my favorite trackers.
I do it to help 'em pay the bills...really don't need u/l credit to be honest. ;)

[Dr-SeMSeM]

3 times for 3 good trackers .

donate directly after checking the materials and offered stuff .

and thats for the monthly cost .

[sez]

I've lost count though it would be nice if they took these as well :lol: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4243/foodstamps2mainfull.jpg

[Yoann64]

@sez : where is dp 5 ?
i donate sometimes, to help them pay the bills as Zaxx

[lisabritpop]

i donated a tracker in my country ...TBH,I wouldnt mind donating if its enough good

[sfsbig]

donate money for maintain severs is good thing!

[MaNiJaK]

Someone worked hard for you to down it 4 free. Servers, bots, time is not free.

[ElGatonPirata]

Yep, i've donated a couple of times in trackers i think are worthy of it, just to feel the "fuzzy" warm feeling. :P

[IdolEyes787]

I used to donate about everywhere but now I only donate at the places that I respect (or seem to respect me as a member ) regardless of how much I actually use the site.

OK that's not entirely true if I see someplace that is really lacking in donations for a given month then I feel compelled ( no doubt stupidly so) to help out.

It's not like I'm made of money but it's also like I haven't gotten my money's worth 10 times over.:idunno:

[momassalha]

i donated to 4 trackers in the past because they needed money to survive and i have no problem to donate to any tracker need money but the tracker must be good and what i mean when i say good that the staff work to make it better place not like some trackers that the staff dont work at the tracker and need money i believe if the money its the problem its can be solved because there a lot of people who will donate to anytracker to make it better place.

[oxxo]

Occasionaly, to trackers that I think they deserve it :P

[phooart]

I donate for the sole purpose of helping out the tracker to survive and not for bonus/recognition.

I can never repay the amount of "nice things" a tracker has given me so by donating is just a way for me to "repay" them.

The bonus/privs thrown in by them is just for encouragement. :)

Hope one day all of you who are still 50-50 in whether to donate or not, JUST DO IT!

It's for your own good too! :)

[1000possibleclaws]

I do once in a while to help pay the bills, cause I know one site's dev is a young kid who's all DIY (coding/bills) and I wouldn't want him to shoulder the costs if the monthly bill can't be reached by others. But yeah, I've also donated to a 'l33t' tracker for hopes of invites a long time ago. I don't even talk to the dudes I invited anymore, so looking back that was a dumb reason for donating.

[$SnoopDo2G$]

I did once before, on some tracker but pay2leech i don't like that...
If they start a tracker and beggin' for donations to help server costs
then i will never give shit...

They gotta know what they doin' and stop asking people's money...
A simple donation bar is more than enough :D

[Cokeman]

I have recently. Why?

Because they need it to pay servers and what not.
Because in some cases i get free upload.
Because in some cases we get invites.
Because in some cases we get a star next to our name.

Thats all my reasons.

[Fr33don]

not anymore, money is tight nowadays and i can't work during the school year.

Quoting myself from earlier in the thread because I am now a donor.:01: Donated to a very deserving site that I enjoy daily. :happy:

Edit- and others will follow, just not this month. :(

[f5ZB40]

i would but i'm concerned about privacy.
when i pay them they know my real name and stuff

There are hundreds of trackers and thousands of people have donated. I have never heard of a problem with that kind of security issue.

Possible solution...donate to trackers where you know and trust the staff. Those are the ones I will support.

And you are saying ur mom didn't name you f5ZB40? :huh:

[pone44]

Not if you use a pre paid gift card or a friends CC if concerned about that. I trust certain staff to be mature enough not to screw with any donors information. That would destroy the trackers reputation, nobody would ever donate again if it was a problem.

If a member really likes a site then I see no problem in donating if you have the money.

Edit: Btw could get in trouble either way, would not be from donating to a tracker. I don't think.
Jail over a few downloads:rolleyes:, please.
Maybe a fine which would hurt more than jail.

[f5ZB40]

that doesn't exactly make me feel better while sitting in jail :P

Move to Canada eh? :naughty:

[lion24]

P2L as a reason to donate is really not worth it. It's much better to spend that money on a seedbox, which will help all your other torrent sites too.

[Cut-Copy-Paste]

Well I use to Donate Lot To trackers which were Not P2L type.

But After down of iTN ( my 55$ ) i stopped doing so.

Ofc, you can look at the amount donated as a gift to perpetuate the tracker (and we all hope that it will do just that).

However, the donation can also be seen as a thank you for all of the enjoyment and efforts that we have already received.

I do not believe fear that a tracker will eventually fail (close its doors) is a fair reason to not donate. If everyone thinks that way, all trackers will eventually have to close or be entirely supported by owners/staff. That just isn't fair in my book.

And remember, you do not have to donate such a large amount. It's great if you can afford that kind of generosity, but many trackers have donation buttons starting at $5. How far would that go towards a [pick whatever kind of entertainment you receive from your favorite tracker and imagine that it's gone].

If my broke, Ramen eating, grad-school goin', twins due in March, ass can afford to donate, I think most people can. :D
