Dear Members,
We are pleased to announce that we have finally reached a satisfactory user base.
It has taken several years but we would like to continue providing you with a torrent site that excels on bringing you the latest and greatest torrents in the world and as such we are re-thinking the invite system to keep the server status optimal for the amount of users.

We will be pruning old accounts over the next few months and, after a careful decision, staff decided that it was in our best interest to limit the number of invites granted to user classes and we have decided on the following:
User Class Amount of Invites
User No invites will be granted.
Power User No invites will be granted, any invites remaining will be removed on the 25th of this month
VIP 5 invite/month + upon donation more will be granted
Uploaders 3 invite/month + upon donation more will be granted

Again, we are pleased that so many users enjoy our site and help shape us into the best tracker in the world. We appreciate all the support we have received over the years and we continue to strive for the best. Thanks for using IPT and enjoy all we have to offer.
Regards,
IPT Staff

There goes another walled garden.

So no invites unless you donate or upload. Guess the site was getting too public, like TL.

Like this will do anything for them at this stage :dabs:

Not a move I like, but oh well.

Post on the forums by the sys op.

As for trading/selling, we allow users to trade their invites on other sites/forums, but if they invite bad members, they will be warned or banned. Selling invites is still forbidden and whoever does it, will be found (sooner or later) and banned for breaking the rules.




Very strange .

I upload there so this doesn't effect me, but I'm surprised about the trading of invites being allowed.

I don't really see what this is going to do for them.

I feel for those who've only recently got to power user status like me :/

Annoyed lol.

I think it's a good move, members would value their membership more.

Therein lies the root of the tracker problem.
