i've got a question for all our official and non-official com reps. i'm talking about sysops, admins, mods etc.
why do you have a fst account?
i don't want this thread to be spammed by users speculating. i want honest answers from those in question.
thank you.
p.s. it doesn't matter if it is your first post, dude :P
:smoke:and why do you have account, maybe to play a detective game:bleh:Quote:

1) Catch invite traders
2) Keep up on the latest Brandon sympathy thread
3) To see 100 "Is tracker X better than tracker Y??" polls a day
4) If we're ever feeling low and want a reminder that there's millions of people in the world less intelectually blessed than us
(Staff here were kind enough to ban this account from viewing the Invite Trading forum because we were so successful at banning 5-6 accounts a week, so most Staff I know at trackers have at least 2 accounts (on seperate IPs obviously) )
some sysops had account here before they open their trackers

Honestly i think its because that many staff members are here simply for the following:
1. to actually address tracker issues
2. to eye out potentionaly good users( yes that does happen..once in a while)
3. mingle with the torrent community
4. simply for the entertainment value... (com'on now... some of you guys gotta agree... some of the stuff in here is way to funny to miss)
oh... and to catch traders of course.... :P
Intellectually even :whistlingQuote:

True indeed ... but you can go to almost every tracker-forum and you'll get the same feeling. :shifty:Quote:

I had never heard of this site till one day I met Reality on another forum and he talk to me about the CR title and it kind of peaked my interest to see what was going on over here and I found out that I actually enjoy being here. I mean yes there a bunch of bad users but there is also a bunch good ones and my belief is that you have to put up with the bad to find out the good of what FST provides for the BT communities out there or any other form of file sharing out there.
I know that there are sites that truel'y don't like FST for there invite section, but hey in my humble opinion there are a bunch of invite trading sites out there that are way worst and to top it off they have no respect or communication with the BT sites and I can guarantee they are no hurry to try and build a stronger bond between a forum like this and the BT sites which is something FST tried to do with the CR title and actually **** the urls of some sites.
I will just quote jesperr since I think he read my mind and posted the reasons why I stick around here an in easy to read manner.

anyway, i joined here when it was the kazaa lite forums in 2002, left it and used filesoup more when i made my tracker, we went down for a bit, a member of my site emailed me and told me there was a thread over here asking wtf was going on, came here, tried to make a new account, stoi was already taken, im like wtf.
So tried a few of my old passwords that i used to use, and logged in, thought how lol then i noticed people on my friends list from 2002 and knew where i was (as the domain name had been changed).
So i never even thought about joining here to catch traders etc.
FST is a forum with many subforums...some have nothing to do with bittorrent. there are a lot of us who spend time in the BT section because it is something that we are interested in and like to discuss. when you say, "FST," one cant help but thing you are alluding to the WTAW thread. if this is the case, you should be more specific in your question. not everybody here spends time tossing and turning in bed due to their ever-growing concern over trading and whatnot.Quote:

ps...i originally found this site while doing a google search on DRM
Interesting question, with a variety of answers.
As for me, well, I am nosey.
When you hear of a place, especially when there is something of a reputation attached, your curiosity is peaked.
I came here to find out what this place was about. Simple as that.
Since joining, I have come to realise that this place encompasses both extremes of sharing, from the scumbag traders who would willingly sell their own mothers if it meant getting a rare invite or account, to those who put the welfare of others before their own.
People often refer to FST as being a haven for the most deranged amongst the sharers, and while I agree that such forums do attract some of the more undesirables, there are many good members here who deserve recognition for their wholesome attitudes towards sharing.
On the whole, FST is not such a bad place. It has gained a reputation that it is not overly deserving, but with any medium where a certain freedom of expression is allowed, there will always be those who abuse that freedom.
Don't mean to pick on you but didn't you just turn 21? That was headlines at BCG and I wished you.Quote:

Notice the again in that sentence lol
I wish i was 21 again.
<< hmmmm. For me it was a great place to get info and meet a lot of interesting people that have many of the same interest. Really tho, lately things have been real slow with a lot of junk posts and im noticing many of the veteran users disappearing.
Wow I'm a bit stunned as where to begin with this one.Quote:

"Brandon Sympathy Thread"?? Yup you're an idiot now for sure
Also you elitist, arrogant, child, because you staff somewhere you are smarter than the members here? You say "We" I assume meaning site staff but most of the site staff in this thread do not share your point of view so again you look foolish. Also you pointed out your "deliberate mistake" did you also misspelled seperate or should I say separate? Yes there is a current debate over this word but as of now mine is the correct spelling, so now maybe millions of people can come here and feel smarter than you.
Ahahahahaa,got me there.Thx for clearing that up.:DQuote:

Wow. The staff here are so aggresive. :OQuote:

I glag'ed my arse off to that. True story. :smilie4:
The original comment, obviousment.
i didn't know about fst when i was a sysop of scenereactor
So it's ok for you to promote breaking our rules, but not ok for us to protect our own rules?Quote:

The most relevant rule regarding this matter is;
Which if anything tells users not to break tracker rules, but I guess that can be forgotten along with the "DO NOT post "good luck", "nice give-away" or similar repeatedly." rule which is not enforced?Quote:
"Respect Communities You're A Member Of
Who You Invite
* Most sites want you to invite those you know and trust."
Your powers of sophisticated debating are truly wasted here, you should run for President. No, seriously.Quote:

Call it anti-elitist, call it what you will...Quote:

Glad you mentioned it ... saves me the opening of a new topic with that subject.Quote:

Sorry TO spam but this is end
@ swax your beating a dead horse im afraid, FST does not have to respect tracker rules, most tracker owners hate it, but sod all we can do about it.
Im not sure why you brought the other staffers that have alrady posted in this thread into this at all. I just said i didnt join to catch invite traders, that doesnt mean that when i did join i didnt catch them (well it was more accounts for us as we didnt have invites).
I am not sure what tracker your from, but why has so many people and staff from other trackers, got so much hate aimed at Brandon, he seems like an OK tracker owner to me, who has made a decent tracker, im not a member, but anyone thats put the time and effort into getting any tracker off the ground must have something about them, and i respect him for that.
I must say though, im not keen on your elitist attitude, to me we are all on here for the same purpuse, to get what we want, when we want it, and to not pay ridiculous prices for a load of crud that they produce nowadays. So what if im a tracker owner, thats been doing torrents for 5 years. To me im the same as a brand new member from here, that doesnt even know what a torrent is, never mind is a member of anywhere.
Because how long does it take to really understand torrenting, 4 hours max and thats pushing it, its not Rocket Science or Brain Surgery here you know.
Feel free to pick up all the spelling and gramatical errors as well, i dont really give a toss, im not here as an english teacher, If members cant spell or they seem to be not very interlectual, who gives a toss, this is the net for christ sake.
I joined to promote the torrent site i was in - Simple really, However i soon realised that as well as promoting the site i could gleen problems other users experienced in the site and check here to see if others had problems. [for example when utorrent was found to be hackable a lot of information was found here which was good]
Its also a handy place to ask "is such and such site down?"
And of course - Brandon and Stoi hang out here so this place must Rawk :D
you got a little something on your chinQuote:
