So how did all of you come to be members of the private torrent sites you use? Some people are well-connected, others trade, a number of people get lucky, and a few have a combination of all three.
For me, it's mostly been about luck as I don't know anyone IRL who uses private trackers.
snakes and ladders --join 1 site (has access to another)... easiest way of course
for me it has been like luck + friends .. have very good friends .. i was a newbie and got many friends on IRC ... made very good friends and they invited me to bigger , better sites ... but i still dream of only one ... u know what .. i had a request :|Quote:

Yeah I've done a lot of that as well. Waffles + What got me into a lot of really useful sites.Quote:

Everything is the same for me, with the exception of the first ^Quote:

got into 1 pretty early in the game when it was open signups, only site I used for almost 2 years...then became a pretty high ranking member a p2p-talk(its gone now) and that got me into few other sites, which lead to meeting uploaders from other places in the forums and irc...and then it just snowballed from there...
took me longer then it should have to realize I only needed about a 1/4th of the sites I was a member of and I just let the others die..
