I would like to know how many of you have in real life friends interested in BT world? And also when you have invites to trackers do you give the invites to them( RL friends)? Or to other 'strangers' from FST for example.
Personally I have 2 good friends which know a little bit about this world of trackers but they don't have too much knowledge of it. When I have invites first I try to help my RL friends and after the 'strangers' (virtual friends) on the Internet.
there is almost no one interested in it around me ....
I've got a few Rl friends that are on private trackers but for the most part they don't give a shit enough to warrant me to give them invites to most trackers. For the most part i'd choose my e-friends over them when it comes to torrenting.
my best friend is interested in bt a bit :) i invited him to some places :) also my IT teacher is interested in bt, i invited him too to some places xD he has a czech scene axx so i have to kiss his ass sometimes :D
I have a few friends too..
None.
a few and some close family. all youngsters
Only about 3 of my friends use private trackers. The rest just use RS or MU.
no one ...just me using the bt...so i have to invite virtual friends
I have some friends intrested in the BT world so first i try to help them and they help me
I have some friends.
Is a disaster for some. My best friend went to Computer school-graphic design, taught me BT-public sites only. I took it more serious and researced private trackers while he was using isohunt-Tpb-ect.
Invited my best friend to a tracker and he gets a warning after i was schooled him on what not to and what to do on private trackers. Can cause conflict sometimes. Can be frustrating as they do not take it as serious as some of us do...
most of my rl friens use public trackers, only a few use private.
1 of my friends is really interested, and one teacher too. So I usually give my invites to them... And then the rest don't care at all. They uses TPB sometimes :/

I don't trust most of my friends to give an invite . The older ones yes but not the youngster's. Workmates I'll give them to as I can shame them into keeping a good ratio . :D
I helped few friends but with some internal trackers more proper for their use they still manage them so I'm pleased
i have friends that use torrents daily , but never seed so ill never invite them anywere
Most of my real friends don't torrent so to speak and a few mainly use sites like Demonoid and stuff like Limewire.
I have a few friends interested in BT. I invited a friend once to SCC, and i got banned because of him, so only e-friends deserves my invites :)
i have a few friends..
Out of about 5 RL mates I've introduced to the private tracker scene only 1 has managed to survive to this day.
Out of numerous E-Mates I've introduced to private trackers only a couple of bad apples have failed to make the grade.
So in my opinion E-Mates make the best people to bring into these communities
Sometimes e-friends are even better than real friends eh? :DQuote:

Just you wait until they spend a couple of days downloading a multi-gig PC game only to discover that it's actually German Midget Porn and they'll be beggin you for an invite somewhere, unless they're into that sort of thing lolQuote:

a couple of them were already torrenting back from the days of suprnova, so it was just actually teaching them the concept of "keeping a good ratio".
They all started via TB and FL, when they were open signups. and they showed up they could keep a ratio. so i started sending them invites. They all have very different tastes: one is an addict to elearning stuff and porn :D , the other one HD movies, the other one Xbox gaming, etc etc. so i suited them the best i could.
now, none of them ever turns off their pc for seeding, even when they are in the jobs, they remote to their PC to check the goodies.
i just invited some friends on.
I have only a couple of friends into private trackers. They're far from hardcore though.
not really. a friend uses a public tracker or crap like that. i offered him an invite to a private tracker. he didn't even try to register in time.
Yeah I know my friend uses only Demonoid and I invited him to IPtorrents like a week ago. He hasn't accepted the invite yet :blink:Quote:

Needless to say, I've given up on him for the moment :)Quote:

A few others ranging from good to inactive. One was quite active on TTi but then forgot to ask staff to park the account when he went on vacation. He got deleted and is now quite pissed off at anything private, since he feels he was active and got a good buffer for nothing.
One is so scared of ratio, that he wants to stick to Demonoid only. He has like 5.0 ratio there, but still thinks he won't be able to seed on really private sites.
i don't have any friends into torrenting except one that i introduced to Demonoid but he doesn't use it that much.
friends on the interweb > friends on tv
Well in the most part ,we're all lucky as we have good friends . Best horror show is when I gave my ex-wife an invite and she was brutal .
Started out I gave her a few movies and she sold them , 10 bucks each . To me that just seemed wrong . Asked the site to please ban her ... I look bad . Nope left me out to dry and learn t my lesson .
Live and learn I guess but still bugs me .
none..
I try to explain the glories of torrenting and get this glassy-eyed stare
like I'm from mars or pluto even.
zero
my real life friends just don't get the concept of torrents/ratio's ect
lolol :)Quote:
