A disclaimer

Although this isn't exactly the proper section for it apparently few members venture anywhere else so.......
I just want to publicly give a disclaimer that while I don't entirely see the harm I'm also not in total agreement with posting reviews of sites that would prefer not to be thus exposed.

I mean you can argue the fact that it allows people the opportunity to then decide what sites they might in the future like to be members of,but honestly what point is there to "target" something that collectively we have little or no chance to ever be a part of .
The only thing that I see coming out of it is a lot of sour grapes and wasted time.Not something I think this ,or any , site needs to purposely propagate.

Btw this isn't a reaction that anyone ,anywhere said to me . I ,as stated , just don't believe it is the healthiest thing for people to concern themselves with.

PS if anyone bt staff or otherwise think this is a attempt to" suck up" they may respectfully go fuck themselves.

I think this is a positive message IdolEyes787....

As many people know trackers seem to be declining, many have gone down for various reasons.. It should be everyone's concern to take care of the existing trackers that remain. Places like this have long argued that people have they right to know all about each trackers and that if tracker staff didn't like it they could take a hike! and the site was deemed l33tist, and therefor the subject of vicious verbal and personal attacks..
the problem with that mentality these days is that the authorities use sites like these and other tracker review/info update sites against us.. and as a result trackers are disappearing.. but, there are other issues that can be involved also.. but, still ..
I think that if people want to continue using trackers, they may do better with at least not bringing attention to our community.. trackers come and go, TRUE... but, these days more are going than coming.. Think about that..

I agree. Seriously if you get banned from a site that wishes to remain secret, do us all a favour and take it like a man, don't respond in such a childish way. That simply validates their idea to ban you in the first place.

All these reviews do is create a bunch of hype over trackers that don't deserve said hype or want nothing to do with it. Ditto with the WTAW thread. When you realize that a tracker is better based on its content and members, not on how hard it is to join, I think you'll find torrenting much more fulfilling ;)

Edit: With that said I feel that tracker staff should be making their own minimalistic reviews of their sites to at least disspell the hype and rumours, since I think one of the problem with the so called "high level trackers" is that people try to join them while knowing nothing about them. However, that should be their decision, not yours.

snap.

I'm on the fence about this. I do agree that these reviews can lead to the over hyping of some trackers, but FST was built on freedom to share information about all types of filesharing and sites. To censor information because a site wants you to, why not go all the way and get rid of the trading seciton as well? Trackers dont want that here, and it also leads to many 'sour grapes' as well, dont you think?

Take the good with the bad IMO, leave things as they are.

Personally I think that new type of idea they were working on implementing over a year ago was a step in the right direction.
Forget what it was called.
It has the sites acronyms, users, pretimes etc.. all listed.
(Although most of the info was incorrect for alot of sites.)
It was a good idea. Maybe they could take it a step farther and maybe list the type of files the sites get too.
For instance you see X site has good pretimes but you only download HD files. You wouldn't exactly go looking for a waffles account whatever their lvl is because its music.
(Would make alot more sense listing by content and not by what the invites are worth to traders.)

Another disclaimer.

Fine by me and since you apparently think I have the power I'll also get rid of all stupidity and pettiness and end world hunger too while I'm at .

@ MM I thought that was a step in the right direction as well . I also believe ( although I could be wrong)lthat it was Detale's idea.

I was simply pointing out that if you start censoring, where do you draw the line? If you start bending to trackers wishes where do you draw that line?
Yes, it was an absurd suggestion, and was ment to be taken as sarcasm, but I guess you missed that...

Isn't it this what you are referring to?

But then people would realize that the best trackers are actually places like Torrents.ru and the traders would go out of business :o
