Now I see why they didn't want the review to be publicized :P
Such a good idea, vanished in poor implementation (content side).
I don't know about the content side at Skittles, but God almighty, that style sheet is just horrible to look at.
That whole points system is laughable, you'd have to be a total loser to participate in such a dumb community. Members, take a step back, and try and find anything of value to your life in this site, and compare that to the opportunity cost of what you could be accomplishing with your life instead. This site is the epitome example of how bittorrent can detach someone from reality.
True that, TrueSounds. The first time I saw this review I said to myself "how anal." It's basically asking members to dedicate a good portion of their time to just the tracker and activity, while getting material from 2 months ago and not even providing stuff I may currently be interested in.
It just goes to show you, there's trackers at all ends of the spectrum. There's trackers that are so concerned with material that the community flops, and there's trackers so concerned with making the community browse the place 24/7, that the content (and the personal lives of the community) drops.
I cannot understand how such a tracker thrives.
I understand your earlier point, but since FTWR is dead, I'm assuming Skittles is thriving even more so than before.Quote:

If you want to cast aspersions I think texting or snowboarding or requiring everything to be FLAC are all little silly as I'm sure people think my apparent addiction to exercise also is. But in none of those instances ,as with the case of Skittles does it hurt anyone so who cares.
And no I'm not and have no desire to be a member of Skittles .
If you want to drink the purple kool-aid, who am I to stop you...
The best thing about cultist is leave them alone and they do a good job of getting rid of themselves.

The pictures aren't visible because peekinsi.de went boom. However, I still have them. BayImg is down at the moment, but here you go:

If they're deleted, tell me and I'll reupload them.
And how can someone become a member to this tracker?
Getting invited? :unsure:Quote:

Last time I visited the site, there was a notice saying they were migrating servers. It's taking them long, though, since I just got that message again.
That could apply to a few other trackers I'm thinking of right now...Quote:

I think it's too rare, even for them. Never ever seen a single trade thread anywhere for this tracker, only known tracker that has been immune to it.Quote:

No, they did some site improvements. Now the site will show a browser error if you aren't l33t enough to be a member.Quote:

As a child I actually went as far as erecting an electrified fence around my sandbox which ironically is a good metaphor here.

Isn't Skittles closed?
You should take relativistic approach on this sensitive matter: it's not "closed", it just became less available than ever.Quote:
