wth is Skittles

[Champo101]

Alright I've heard very little info about it and I've heard it's: (e word coming up: Exclusive) Now I don't want to get in at all tbh but I'm just wondering. What the hell is Skittles? What does it have? What makes it so special? What? Also I'm too lazy to really search. pretty much the only thing I've eve heard about it is that it has movies,TV and it looks crappy. So what is it really?

[anon]

I'm too lazy to really search.

[Champo101]

well I was smart enough to go there. I've seen that but The pictures are gone. So i can't really get a look at it so. :/

[pone44]

I never seen it. From what i read, it is a tracker for high quality movies,music but then I am not sure how good the site is.

[anon]

The pictures are gone.

thank you. It does look pretty horrible.

This one must be the most interesting/boring:

Doesn't seem like the site would have good retention on files if deleted 2 months after a file is released or did i read that wrong?

[anon]

I think you read wrong :) They only allow stuff to be posted two months after the official US release.

I think the pertinent points from "what makes us different" are that is an extremely judgmental site run by extremely judgmental people who for some reason feel the need to try and prove themselves superior to anyone else.

Anyone from that "special community" wants dispute that with a reasonable argument beyond the standard sycophant mantra "you're not a member so you don't know what you are talking about.You are just jealous " feel free.

@Champo 101 I never took you for a genius but I thought you were at least smart enough not to go looking for this type of elitist ...,no I'm sorry I mean exclusive, site.

[Vinceftw]

i dont see the site as an "extremely judgmental site run by extremely judgmental people who for some reason feel the need to try and prove themselves superior to anyone else". the atmosphere is very friendly and familiar, atleast since i am there and from what i saw.. surely this is nothing the majority of fst has any interest in.

Why is that exactly?

[Champo101]

@IdolEyes - ????????????????????????????????????????????? If you read the first post. You would see I don't want this Gay Porn Tracker lol

[pone44]

Wondering the same thing. To make sure it's a legit copy?

[anon]

Why is that exactly?

Because they value security or something. It's described in the pictures I posted, I think.

[pone44]

I understand when a new release comes out that some are fake. Like albums that people label retail when it is a mixtape or a cam labeled dvdr. I was too lazy to read all that in those screens. 2 months is a while and would it not still be illegal? How does that ensure security?

"Banned Content: All movies and music are banned until two months after the United States DVD/CD release. We take this rule seriously, so don't break it."
That's all I could find on the matter. It seems like a silly way to keep your tracker secure, especially with an exclusive one like Skittles :P

[Mokhtar]

must be most ugly site i ever see. i would vomit if i have to look to the browse page for long time.

they think they are more safe bcos they put movies later than other? who wants wait 2 months to dl a movie? some people are crazy.

[emperorIX]

The MPAA has a history of going after pre-/early releases, so I'm assuming the 2 month waiting period is to keep them off their radar. At least, as far as pre-releases / early releases go.

I can't think of a case involving an "older" movie where the MPAA has really gone after anyone.

[Mokhtar]

but if i want dl latest movie to watch i can't dl from there? if i'm dedicated member i have to wait 2 months to get my movie?

anyone still uses such tracker?

Dude,that tracker functions on their own set of rules.If you dont like it then dont join.You are talking as if you are forced to join the tracker,allowed to download only from there and you not getting any new movies as a result.Do you get new movies in What.CD?Even if you are a dedicated member?:shifty:

[pone44]

Guy was just asking a question. he did not say anyone forced him to join a tracker or that he even wanted to join skittles. And with what, you can get a album within a day or two of it's release date. Of course no movies. Missed your point.

Question? With his two comments made back to back of similar nature,it dosent seem so.Its already been discussed you wont get new stuff in that tracker posts before.

[Mokhtar]

so its not a 0-day movie tracker. no need be rude.

just trying to think why would somebody want to be part of such site, if he can only upload 2 month old movies, that probably he sees in that time until they are available there. and that are at every possible site.
if it was like KG that only very old movies can be upped, i understand. movies only 2 months old makes not sense.

[pone44]

Ok. So that is not the tracker for pretimes or anything new. I understand and do not know if he is a member there or not. Have to agree with "it's their site, their rules".

What doesn't seem so?

[ca_aok]

It's a ghost town that eventually realized that their inactivity rules, while interesting in principle, ended up banning their entire userbase. Dead tracker, dead forum, one of their staff described it to me in IRC as a "failed experiment". While I understand new people still join from time to time other than e-peen I'm not sure what it's doing for them. A few hundred people (more realistically <100 active) doesn't make an amazing community, it makes a ghost town.

Regarding their content, the idea is quality of files... FLAC music, HD TV/Movies, etc, with a heavy emphasis placed on user-uploaded content. Hence you see more of the sort of content that comes out of a niche tracker (old stuff released on a constant basis) rather than a zero day site.

What I never understand is that since there are so few people that are actually active there, that if you don't know one of them there's absolutely no point in you joining. It's like crashing a house party with 10 people attending who are all close friends v.s. crashing a 300 person party with multiple kegs. Why join a tracker where it's basically a group of folks who all already know each other and have no clue who you are or why you joined?

[Mokhtar]

but ca_aok, i did not try to join, or have interest. not any!!
i think you make a good description what it is now. thank you for your post, it clear all my questions.

What doesn't seem so?
It seemed like he was beating an already dead horse.

i did not understand u also said skittles was dead and of no use.
peace.

Oh, you thought he was fishing for a invite?

No.He already knew what kinda tracker it is (or the posts above him clearly explained it).And I dont know how my above post lead you to interpret it as fishing for an invite.

@Champo 101 I never took you for a genius but I thought you were at least smart enough not to go looking for this type of elitist ...,no I'm sorry I mean exclusive, site.

And you know all this how?.. If you read Schiz0's older posts you will see whats it all about. All FST can do is create their own hype about a tracker. Can you back up what you said above? I believe the answer is NO. And yes the site is small and community based, not "elitist". But if thats what you get called for being a small tracker so be it, create your own hype ;)

Also the more you label a tracker as "elitist", the more Traders/Collectors(Majority of them are on FST) try to get in.

Edit: Why so much hate towards a tracker/members sir?

Meant only for th0r , others are not going to get it anyways...

Ric you started off again? If you Pm staff members on multiple other trackers asking about Skittles or invite, you are not getting in... I hope you know what I am talking about ;)

BTW: you had a similar problem with the rabbit...

.

As I've stated on numerous occasions I "hate" very little in this life and reserve whatever hatred I do have for things that are truly grievous ,bt not being one of them.:unsure:
I will say that for the people that I know to be associated with aforementioned tracker in my opinion the statement I gave completely applies as does btw the term small-minded.:dabs:

As for "how I know ?" see previous highlighted and underlined statement which you seem to completely ignored and gave me precisely what I didn't ask for .

Lastly can I back up anything I said? Yeah seemingly about as well as you can :ermm: so it's basically a case of ( one of us at least) being civilized people we must agree to disagree.

Oh I forgot .Yes the WTAW is a terrible contrivance and if you really cared about anything I say beyond some toady one running to you about any statement that immediately effects you then you would would have seen that no one has been more vocal against it than I have, but seriously you need to face reality and accept the fact that your little closed "communities" by the mere fact of how they have chosen to operate are the true reason for being high on traders "I want " lists and not because of any "hype":mellow: generated by FST.

PS I'm pretty certain Augusta CC uses the same kind of twisted bs as you apply here when asked why they keep women out.

Seriously for all I care you can all the little elitist places you want but don't be so delusional to see them as anything but(Yes I know you are all "friends" and it has absolutely nothing to do with one's alleged "stature" or as you would probably prefer importance,in the bt world :mellow: ).

PPS also as stated on numerous occasions I don't take anything very seriously that is written here by anyone under a nom de plume.Simple fact of life.

PPPS the only reason I felt the "need" for the original diatribe was that I didn't want Champ101 to go down that same elitist path as you have chosen to walk.And btw enforced "community" is no community at all:dabs:

[kingeater]

Hehe, I came for a golf reference, and got Augusta CC, coming out of this thread happy.

[Cabalo]

After reading the classical bt empowered kid talk on post #36, I start to understand the reasons why it is a failed tracker.

[Hombre]

horrific site, i lost my acc due to inactivity, obvious, like 99% of every1 ever had acc on there.
waste of time of a site, ran by paranoid freaks who are real nerd geeks in real life for sure, and play serious on internet. :D :D

[rainbowman]

After reading the classical bt empowered kid talk on post #36, I start to understand the reasons why it is a failed tracker.

This is the reason why BT staff try to distant themselves from FST. You guys make it your goal to give your 2 cents where its not needed.
Dont like the site? thats fine but there is no reason to talk about things you dont know about. Mind your own business and the world will be a better place. BT empowered? heh i know alot of people that you know and talk to in a regular basis go ask them what they got to say(or dont, i really do not care) just think before making assumptions(PM me if you need my nick). I just find your comment a bit rushed or maybe just defensive. Its easy to judge and jump to conclusions whats hard is to be patient and put yourself in others shoes. I dont know you and you dont know me. And neither do you know anything conclusive about skittles other than a few screenshots posted here and there and a few things you heard from people or your ' sources'. That being said I genuinely have nothing against you.



@IdolEyes787: You clearly misunderstood me. Anyways all i can tell you is go read Schiz0's old posts( where did the member search go?). And afaik i remember you were part of the rabbit so i do not get your argument about "but seriously you need to face reality and accept the fact that your little closed "communities" by the mere fact of how they have chosen to operate are the true reason for being high on traders "I want " lists and not because of any "hype" generated by FST". Also take a look at how many trade threads were posted after skittles was put in the wtaw...

Also I am pretty sure my words are going to be twisted and scrutinized by you guys shortly, but do not bother with that until you really think it through matte.


No one is forcing anyone to be a member and what people choose to do this their lives is there own business so I don't see the need for the criticism.
If you want to cast aspersions I think texting or snowboarding or requiring everything to be FLAC are all little silly as I'm sure people think my apparent addiction to exercise also is. But in none of those instances ,as with the case of Skittles does it hurt anyone so who cares.
And no I'm not and have no desire to be a member of Skittles .

QFE why such a sudden change in stance after posting this before. I say this because i honestly want to understand...

[P2PDog]

@rainbowman: why are the opinions of a bunch of people who obviously aren't members of the site in question, and from a forum which you clearly don't like, so important to you?

[IdolEyes787]

I on the other hand want to know what QFE means ? Assume I get the QF part.

Yes I was a member of FTWR and a damn good one too if I may be so bold although a lot of good it did me since I was nonjudgmentally viewed as being less than the biggest doofus there simply based on my association with this place ( no it's not a fucking trade site .:angry: It was created as and remains a filesharing forum .The trade section is something that is a separate part and whether one decides to be a part of that is totally their own choice)

Now, again feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (btw I hope you aren't assuming that whatever I state here I take as fact ,it's simple opinion based on my own personal experience,which makes it as valid or invalid as anyone elses- a point you seem to miss) given what I know/understand places like Skittles because of the extremely limited user base and the type of sycophant person attracted to this sort of site and being that type of sycophant person desperate to maintain their place there the whole thing starts out as or degenerates to , a group of cookie cutter people sitting around doing little more than fellating each other with nary a dissenting ( or original) voice in site ..errr sight .


Btw this little statement went further to confirm everything I said than anything else I could possibly add.
This is the reason why BT staff try to distant themselves from FST. You guys make it your goal to give your 2 cents where its not needed.
Dont like the site? thats fine but there is no reason to talk about things you dont know about. Mind your own business and the world will be a better place.

Not fucking needed ?
Like the saying goes you need water to drink ,food to eat and air to breath everything else is superfluous so pretty fucking arrogant to start drawing lines for other people beyond that .

As for the world being a better place I personally think it's much better if there are things like tolerance and free speech over what you have suggested but then again that's maybe why I'm not a member of Skittles :ermm:

One last note or actually a restating of an old one ,everything said here is opinion . I don't and have never claimed to know everything or ( God forbid) be right in everything I say .Actually in fact that's why I say a lot of things that I do so that ( being somewhat open-minded) I still have a chance to learn or at least benefit from other people's (frequently sometimes ) differing opinions.

I think that is essentially where I differ from both you and the majority of people at places like Skittles.

Again about the WTAW .Besides the again overlooked fact that I am/have been continually vocally against it at the place it would be the most good to be( unlike ,at least up until this point being as it were pretty fucking late in the game , yourself:ermm: ) you also seem oblivious to the fact that places like IPT never come into trade talk.

As I tried to explain earlier,why exactly do you suppose that is?
Also FST just for the record doesn't "set" rarity which apparently is by far the most pertinent thing.:mellow:

Also post your frickin' "real" name here and enough with the stupid I'll PM/I'll hide it (imo big part of the problem with "misunderstandings") bullshit.
Who the fuck are you anyway that necessitates the secrecy, Bruce Wayne?:dry:

[rainbowman]

@rainbowman: why are the opinions of a bunch of people who obviously aren't members of the site in question, and from a forum which you clearly don't like, so important to you?

They are not, thats why after so many threads(including screenshots posted) this is the first and only time I am responding. I am just a little annoyed at the fact that some people here care too much about others when there is so much shit in their own backyard... Just wanted to point the facts out sir. Also i agree with you that their opinions should not bother me but lets just say i got carried away for once :yup:

@ IdolEyes787: Your talent is getting wasted here you clearly need to join some kind of debate team. As soon as you wrote "fucking" i stopped reading. I dont know what you are really angry about but its clearly not me or skittles, those are just channels.

Now you can start posting again about stuff that you previously did not care about but now take it so personally for some reason. While I go back to minding my own business and enjoying life. Good luck.

Talking about being defensive. :rolleyes:
Not used to have your words scrutinized? That can be a bitch... If you don't like people scrutinizing what you say/type, then certainly FST is not the right place for you. Words are your sword here, you live or die by them.

Regarding that bit " You guys make it your goal to give your 2 cents where its not needed.", AFAIK everyone is entitled to have their own opinion, and it can't be anyone else's intent to gag them. That's not how it works around here, and if that clearly doesn't make you happy, then go to those places where everyone mutually fellates each other, as Idol said. Everyone is nice to each other and use the <3 a lot.

About your nick, no, I'm not curious at all. If you want to post it, fine with me, if not, then fine with me too. It's not that it's going to make any difference to this discussion.

[1000possibleclaws]

Skittles sums up everything that's wrong with the current state of secret invite forum/ any invite forum members. Don't care if you don't want our 2 cents FST is all about speaking your mind, which is why u made ur account here.

[pone44]

The hype was not really generated at FST,more like another forum :whistling:
Fck the WTAW. Only certain people care about that BS. So if FST was a no trading, no movement forum, skittles would have recruited members here? I really never had any interest in joining this site and I am sure they do not want me as a member as i am a part of FST.



"but seriously you need to face reality and accept the fact that your little closed "communities" by the mere fact of how they have chosen to operate are the true reason for being high on traders "I want " lists and not because of any "hype" generated by FST". Also take a look at how many trade threads were posted after skittles was put in the wtaw...



I never really check the trade section but never saw any requests for this site, hype or not.

[Cabalo]

I really never had any interest in joining this site and I am sure they do not want me as a member as i am a part of FST.
Well, don't feel sorry for that, as most members at such boards are also members here. They just assume another persona, and trackers rather prefer that one. It's too much faking, as you probably have noticed browsing them around.
There they behave all smooth and silky, here they come express their discontentments.

I'm not angry about anything I am just trying to make a point the doing of which occasionally requires a bit of faux emotion and some flowery language:unsure:

But seeing as you belong to a movie site and so care about and are obviously well versed in all things cinematic (that was me being sarcastic btw) I will give you this appropriate Tom Cruise quote from MI "You've never seen me really upset":mellow:

Btw no need to respond as, to use another movie analogy, I'm fairly certain it's just going to continue to follow the same increasingly mindlessly insulting script.

This is the reason why BT staff try to distant themselves from FST. You guys make it your goal to give your 2 cents where its not needed.

This made me chuckle... the only staffers I know who 'distance' themselves from FST are those twats who try to run 'l337' trackers/communities and do a piss poor job of it too.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but on FST however, there is very rarely any leeway given for bullshitters, people who try 'pulling a fast one' or for those who just wanna come on here pretending they are something they're not. As someone said earlier... you live by what you say on here, or someone will pretty quickly throw those same words straight back down your throat.

Staffers at decent sites, who make an effort to be open, who try to avoid being 'l337' and who want to make enjoyable communities for their users can be found on these forums frequently. Some staffers even come on here to help disgruntled users sort their problems out too. Hardly avoiding/distancing themselves from FST is it?!

Or soz... FST is a 'Trading Site' isn't it? So I suppose by that logic, the fact that there's a Movies & TV section on here kinda makes it similar to IMDb too then doesn't it?

Fo shizzle.

Burnsy said it all! :P

You'd be surprised to see the number of two faced twats who diss and whine about FST on every IRC they idle on.. in hopes of sounding '1337' and being on the same page with other 'more established' bittards, but at the same time, have accounts on FST and try their best to play all leet and shizz.

now u guys scared him off. he wont return, because fst is not leet and members are cunts.

[Ewwwyourface]

i take all credit

[Chief_Garbonzo]

Damn, that's one rainbow I never want to taste.

[pone44]

Cmon chief, you must love skittles. The sour and tropical ones are better.

You're all missing the real question: what kind of fag uses "rainbowman" as an alias?

Skittles is a tracker, hype of the tracker is driven by people on the outside looking in. Most of the Skittles threads here have been started by people wondering what it's all about (a small minority started by bitter banned users). If you haven't got the idea by now then let me reiterate: Skittles is just a big circle-jerk run by donkey/sheep-lovers. If you're not into that then the place is not for you. The site itself is shitastic and is designed so you feel all ghey as soon as you log on. If you join the site you better have lube ready since the gheyness is just a prelude to mass amount of cawk forced down your orifices.

No wait... You're not a member so you don't know what you are talking about. You are just jealous or bitter about the lack of cock you have!

Am I doing it right?

[MiNiMAL]

taste the rainbow

[The_Martinator]

I do actually agree with rainbowman to some extent, you can't see the whole picture of what Skittles is if you're not a member. But on the other hand, freedom of speech is supposed to be one of the pillars of our civilisation...

I'm getting old and this is something I've picked up along the way: Repression may not give you the results you want, but in fact the exact opposite. Trying to pressure members into being active may result in disabling a large portion of them for inactivity. If I'm active at a site, it's because I like it, not because I am needed to be.

Just my 2 cents, and while they're not really needed, they're ALLOWED.

[mrnobody]

but if i want dl latest movie to watch i can't dl from there? if i'm dedicated member i have to wait 2 months to get my movie?

anyone still uses such tracker?

the answer is yes. i'll point you to sites like cinemageddon and it's sister tv site. the sister site has 5 year rule or something. works just fine.

but this is how most private sites work. a fair portion of members that join do it so out of curiosity and/or b/c of outside hype about the tracker. once they join, they usually are active for 2-3 weeks, making few posts here and there. then they just disappear or just login once in a while to keep the account alive (for whatever reason). there's nothing wrong with these puring members. meanwhile, those who are active through, actually like the site, are active, and won't get purged.

What an ugly design !

Yes, but if there are some rules put in place where a relatively large amount of activity is needed not to be purged, the users that would've liked the site without them, now won't (at least some of them).

The site itself is shitastic and is designed so you feel all ghey as soon as you log on.i actually suffered a mild seizure the first time i saw their style sheet

does that count?

[respawn40]

the answer is yes. i'll point you to sites like cinemageddon and it's sister tv site. the sister site has 5 year rule or something. works just fine.

You can't compare something like Cinemageddon's year rule with Skittle's two-month rule. Skittles themselves say that the only reason for the two-month rule is so they can be off the radar. Cinemageddon disallows anything that has come out within the last 12 months, and even once a new movie has had a 12-month run, it most likely won't get uploaded to Cinemageddon anyway because there aren't many new movies that fit Cinemageddon's theme. The 12-month rule doesn't affect Cinemageddon anyway since they're such a niche tracker. That is why their rule "works just fine". There is always content available to be uploaded that fills their niche, so the tracker stays fresh. Skittles doesn't particularly have a niche (flac, movies, movie apps?). Well, actually, I guess they encourage "homerips". That's not really much of a niche anymore either, when you consider that many trackers have their own encoding groups, Wunza exists, and most things on Cinemageddon and TV-Vault are ripped by users.
