-MAR 09 2014 EDIT- There is a daily download limit of 10 NZBs. Donators and BT Gods (registered for 30 days, 100+ BT Rep points) have no such limit (click here (http://filesharingtalk.com/payments.php) to donate). Click here (http://filesharingtalk.com/threads/455933-24-hour-download-limit-of-5-or-donate) for a discussion thread about this change.

-FEB 23 2014 EDIT- via RealitY: The site is lagging bit and were working on it. For now some might not have any access to certain things on the site. Were hoping its sorted fairly quickly... This is now fixed.


--NZB comments don't add to your post count--

1. You have to make at least 2 meaningful posts, "thank you", etc. in the NZB section do not count.

2. You have to have been here for 15 days or more. 15 days are counted starting from your registration date, not that of your first post.

3. Meet those 2 conditions, and within the hour of meeting them, after logging out then back in, you will be promoted from 'n00b' to 'member', then you can go back to doing whatever it is you do, quietly.

You could also DONATE (http://filesharingtalk.com/payments.php) to the site for instant access now.
http://filesharingtalk.com/payments.php

Please don't start a new thread, ones already exist. The mods are busy enough.

If you're going to post a new collection, you need to read the guide in the forums. Please be mindful of posting repeat/dupe articles. Especially if you're duping something that's on the front page. Use the appropriate categories, etc. Just don't half ass the posts, it makes more work for the rest of us. And then we get angry.

C'mon guys post something with content that's longer than 3 words and punctuated.

Don't like it, there are plenty of alternatives: http://filesharingtalk.com/threads/396406-NZB-Indexing-sites!

I imagine the same goes for forum posts. C'mon guys post something with content that's longer than 3 words and punctuated





Classic,what with the missing period.

Btw my post would be something to the effect of "I hate each and every one of these annoying,pointless, self-serving posts " but for the fact I don't believe in stating the oblivious..

Rart
01-19-2014, 08:09 PM
I'm not 100% if a mod can confirm but I was under the impression NZB comments don't even add to your post count.

Yes, NZB comments don't count towards your post count.

I wish I could play that off as deliberate. You've seen my posts, I yob comma like a mofo, and have never used an em dash properly. American public school.

Thanks Rart.

Fuck this,Rart is remade a Moderator.Stop the madness and seriously I'm done here.

Oh well it was a good run or something but now it's obviously time to go.
If you need to find me I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beating' up a guy, I'll be there.
I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eating the stuff they raise and living in the houses they build - I'll be there, too.

Anyway somebody please say goodbye to manker and chalice for me if either one of them ever turns up.
Not likely that they will and even less likely that you will either,'cause your cunts.

Hey here's an idea maybe if you got off your lazy ass and helped out this calamity that is me being mod wouldn't have happened. Also you'd be a way better mod anyway since you basically live here.

Then again I wouldn't lose too much sleep if you decided to play Batman and ended up like this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwnYEI5wMME).

well how many posts do we need to make here in the forums before we can download the nzb.

tyraisfat
01-19-2014, 09:53 PM
Understandably comments should be limited to quality or any problems with the files, posting thanks really serves no purpose. This is why i never really posted.

jan4242
01-19-2014, 10:30 PM
Yeah, personally I avoided posting for the sake of cutting down on spam

jonxy
01-19-2014, 10:45 PM
i'm surprised that uploading/contributing to nzb section doesn't count as posting

johnnyspig
01-19-2014, 10:47 PM
I agree. I only post when I have something to say which adds to the conversation. I always try to punctuate properly as well. LOL

Indeed, doubt there is anyway to separate spam from other posts, but uploads should have been given some sort of credit to count towards being able to download in the new system.

Maybe it will get resolved over time as it all beds in and credit where credit is due can be organised & recognised.

Agree with the credit concept, but if you've seen the state of commentary in that section, what we'll end up with (at this point) is people snaking nzbs from other sites, or a search engine and posting them half-assed. I've already had to edit an incomplete set, a passworded set with no pwd, posters too lazy to scrape or copypasta the nfo etc. Just more work for the staff.

At this point it's like just donate the 5 or 10 bucks and be done with it.

Im not sure why people are now being forced to post in the forums. It puts more strain on the server, uses expensive bandwidth and gives the mods more work. What you will end up with is a lot of useless posts just to meet the requirements....sort of like this post....

ftataru77
01-20-2014, 02:03 AM
Actually, that's not a bad idea. Do comments related to file quality count?

This new rule is kinda odd, but i will see what i can do to meet this new requirement. post#2?..

I am befuddled by this as I am sure I posted quite a few comments many years ago , such is the life of a lurker I didnt even know about the new requirement till today.
Small ask for such a wealth of entertainment.

I guess this makes sense, never felt the need to post since I had nothing to contribute. But in reality, can't anybody meet the post requirements and still steal NZB's? I'm confused by the logic. But hey, you guys are the leaders here, so new rules are new rules :)

@mogila:
I'm with you on this one but I think it may have to do with bots scanning the site and leeching at will. Even captchas nowadays are no match for certain types. So although this wouldn't stop someone from posting 2 comments and then unleashing a bot, but at least it's not as easy as it was before. Hey, at least they're not making us click on 2 ads.

Or just post on the message board? Guess I'll find out as that's two posts ......

thulli14

So what if we make a comment on whether or not the quality of the files or movies are? Does that count as a post or do you have to actually host an item?

It seems there are a lot of criteria being introduced to sites that were supposed to be user friendly

What's with all the pass worded movies wasn't the idea that you could just access these movies without being forced into any conditions?
You are right there are plenty of other sites????

One movie with a password and you think you're being inconvenienced. You must not be aware of how the system works. I think you should try and find the passworded post on one of those " other sites," and let everyone know how smart you are.

FST isn't my main .NZB source anyway. To me FST is more of a news/information/unsubstantiated rumours site. NZBs are a bonus.

Looks like we have to make a couple of posts now to become eligible to be able to get the NZB's...no problem glad to do it !

I like the site, so I'm happy to make the posts and get back to being able to get my NZB's on this site !

Maybe the site owner is doing a cleanup of the users who are bot signups? If you manually post and become a member, you are therefore not a bot (debatable to some I know :P) and therefore not likely to be weaned out when the cleanup happens, prob user base runs into 1000s & 1000s of dead accounts?

/Just a theory, but it is what I would do./

You don't have to read all 13 pages, just the very first post of this thread that you took time to post in. Who knows, you might even reply to this post, log out, go & do something useful for 30 mins or so, come back, log in and then check your status, then you can go back to getting something for nothing again, just a thought. :/

I made the required two posts last night, then logged back in this morning, and I'm STILL not able to click the download link. What's up with that?

But for some reason, my post count is still only at one. Interesting.

This -> Last edited by russianroulett; Today at 15:34. Reason: Automerged Doublepost

You can't post then post underneath your own post, the system automerges into 1 post, so your post count will/would have been only one, now you have the minimum 2 posts the download button will appear very soon, log out, go for a jog or something, come back in half hour and log in - like magic you will be able to go back to lurking mode.

I don't mind posting and contributing the forum, however most of the time I have nothing useful to say. Wouldn't it be counter productive to mod's time to post irrelevant posts to just keep up a post count?

I'm not exactly a fan of posting on forums, but I've contributed meaningful discussion in NZB comment posts before related to the content. Completely understandable that you'd want contribution to the forum, though.

Edit: 3-year anniversary for me here, too. Thanks for everything, FST. Also, I've donated. Because for what you guys have accomplished with FST, it's well worth my money to contribute to your cause. Thanks again.

Not that I'm complaining - but don't you believe forcing people to post is going to create more idiotic and pointless forum posts? I've been here with other sites in the past - and the forums take a hit. People post when it's something they believe in or are passionate about. Forcing them to post is never, in my 40+ years, been a good thing for any forum (and I'm going back into the BBS days). Just my two cents...

Maybe page impressions & thus the ads needed a boost and he came up with this brainwave :shrugs:

Can't agree more - that was my point before - posting just to post doesn't make the content worth reading... I may not have many posts around here, but I can tell you I've read 100's, if not 1000's of forum messages in here... reading is your best research... but alas, if they want posts, they'll get them (may regret it, but they'll pour in). :(

1st post, I do like this site as said by others, don't see the problem with new rules. guess its just not for some.

And as for the Donate section $2 a month or $10 for a year no brainer its is nothing really, especially if you are a long time user of this site/fourm, if it helps them to keep inproving things, not that everyone sees things the same way...just my thoughts.

The first place to start posting is helping to answer posts where the poster is needing assistance, no need to jump right in, but if you feel in your experience that this or that works, then just say so, then you get know some posters, then you move to other parts of the forum which interest you, not looking for 50 posts a day, just once in a while until you get comfortable. When you get confident, you will wonder why it took so long to get started :)

The forums really aren't that interesting, full of forum political diarrhea (witnessed in the start of this thread even). I've made numerous NZB comments over the years (which now don't count but are far more worthwhile than the barely literate spam vomit people are generating to get their 'two-posts-to-download' badge. Seems more than a bit silly indeed, but oh well, if it serves a greater purpose.

Posts as in forum post or NZB posts?...Should be slightly more specific!

And honestly I would say what 90% of the users on here are leechers. You can't really eliminate them....If it weren't for the leechers there would be no companies willing to advertise on the site right? Yeah that 10% deserves a pat on the back for filtering out all the NZB indexing shit out there but I don't see why the two post would be implemented at all. From my standpoint there wasn't much thought put into it/the problem. Just my two cents I guess!

Well I don't really see this as a bad thing - nothing wrong with trying to stimulate the community a little. After all, I appreciate the hard work that goes in to running the site.

Jeez, reading through these posts is almost as entertaining as anything I'd have downloaded...

Anyway, the site is great; thanks everyone for your hard work.

Well this is a pain forcing two posts or a donation. You should at least start taking some crypto for donations. I wouldn't mind giving up some BTC or LTC to avoid making a worthless post like this.

You must be a barrel of fun at parties.

Honestly bro...may I call you bro,bro?... it's just conversation and nothing to be disparaged or afraid of.

I'm sure or at least pray that all your conversation in real life doesn't have some weird requirement that every word needs to be of the greatest import.

FFS, it's TWO posts. TWO. To use a free service. Good gawd, I can only imagine what pathetic crybabies so many of you would turn into if the bar were raised to ten. Or, perish the thought, require you to be interesting. :frusty:

New rules makes sense but a little heads up could have been good to, by email or a big banner on the main screen. If there was one of the above and I didnt see it,

My bad 8-)

A little heads up would have been nice 8-(

I suppose this is a good idea, however there are other ways to get the community involved.

Like the rest I've been lurking for many years so thought that I would say hello.

Originally this was one of the three site I used to get my nzbs from and now your the only one left, was truly gutted when you went down last year though that you had closed as it was shortly after the fall of nzbmatrix.

So keep up the good work and I will try to be more active in future.

No i realise why there's so many new names and comments on NZB posts (and some new names of people posting!)

Good to see al lthe extra activity.

Ditto as many people above. Been here for a while and this place is one of the better (if not best) trackers that's still alive and kicking strong.
