If you're a member of X number of trackers you're definitely a collector...

me ? lol yes you can say that ... :P

The epithet "collector" really does have a negative connotation; I understand it to be a person who attempts to join various trackers (regardless of difficulty to join) in order to brag about their membership in said trackers, trade invites to boost popularity or reputation (in forums such as these), or trade accounts once they have farmed them to decent upload/download ratio.

Now, back to the OP. Being a member of x trackers doesn't make you a collector; it's what you do on these trackers, obviously. If you're on 30 trackers, and have the time and dedication to be an active member on all of them, and don't use your membership/invites/accounts to gain power or status elsewhere, then you don't deserve a negative title such as "collector".

that statement is a contradiction ... why would someone brag about a site thats EASY to join .. . . ..

collectors want the best of the best sites ... tons of them... no collector is going around bragging about being a member of FunFile or sceneleech . . . .

You forgot one little detail in this equation.

I am member at more than 20 sites, but that doesn't make me a collector. That makes me a content whore, because I download old, new, scene, non-scene, music, movies, TV etc. etc.

Many of the things I download I can only find at one or two of those sites.

ppl that register to every open tracker are collectors.
and also ppl that has more than 5 0-day (general) sites (im not talking about sites with rare torrents like zamuda and demonoid im talking about ppl that has its+scl+czone+ iplay ect).
u can use 15 trackers and still not be a collector if every site has differnt use like: tvt for tv ,tl for 0-day ,aom for magic, zamunda for rare things, kg for movies, waffles for music and more..
and ppl that tryig to get rare shit sites ( and say - its for the good community) are collectors too.

20 seems fair there are a lot of good trackers out there

I didn't make that statement very clear, I suppose. I meant that they brag about the number of trackers they're members of, not each specific tracker, although some people do brag about easy trackers to get into (TorrentLeech).
