Well ajsi, if one were truly a remarkable forum poster you would think the TTC would have privately offered him membership ages ago. spark must not meet that criteria of excellence required for the TTC to offer membership in the capacity he thinks he deserves.
Its a private axx, not something to buy. You can't kick the wheels and figure.. meh.. sure I'll give it a ride. Anyone who's in BT with more than 2 brain cells knows there's layers of places out there beyond the front door of public sites, never mind those that are very well hidden. Show me one person who will actually post on a forum and say they know what's out there in p2p and I'll reply they know 1% of what really is.
edit: ^^ Plus what he said ;)
It just happened to be towards the top, and being from the western part of the country, Tally seemed to be just redneck enough for me to use it. Also, the limited nature of a community college paired nicely with the applicant. There you go... a glimpse into my lazy, stereotyping mind. :PQuote:

the only reason i can think of why you would really, like really want to become a member of a small/popular/elite site is that you could feel elite as well. or to have the possibility to download files from a "better" place. well i've been there, done that, and you can do that for some time, but after a while, it doesn't matter, cause in the end it is about getting the files you need and period. and as far as i know, the files are same everywhere. after a while you don't pay attention if the site banner says FSC, SCC, or IPT(and honestly we all know which one of the three comes out as winner)
and for those wanting to interact in forums regulary, the argument that there are better users at those better sites is not really valid either, cause a big site or a small site, you're always gonna end up with a group of good and active posters, a group of downloaders, and a group of morons who just make trouble. by joining a better/more secret site won't prevent you from seeing/dealing with morons. from what i've seen during the years i've been using bt, even at the biggest sites there's just a small group of active and quality posters just like at those smaller sites that pick their members more carefully. it really is just about finding that place where you will like the people and the discussions that take place there. and finding that place doesn't necessarily mean getting into the most secret tracker. you don't join those places because of that. people always say i wanna join because i want to be a member of a great community, but you never see them saying i tried to interact at forums there and there and it sucked, it always seems that when they hear about fsc etc., something clicks in their brain and tells them that they need to become members of a great community only the most secret/"elite" place can offer... geez
it's always the same story, you're new, you want to have access to everything, after some time you gain access to everything and then you stop to give a damn...
the 1% that people dont see obviously isn't in the publics interest anyway or it would be released to everyone, unless your into techno-funkhouse-jazzstep i doubt you'd give a fuck about Techno.Funkhouse.Jazz.Step.Allstars.Volume.3.SHiTRlSQuote:

Which only makes sense right. And that's the point missing in this thread for most posting. They're like that 99% of people who a site like this doesn't matter. Most people posting here want axx just because. They see it as the next l33t thing and not what it really is. I still don't think the peeps here have fully wrapped their head around what TTC is about.
good thing this thread was started w/ all of the pertinent information one would need to make an informed post that can be considered an applicationQuote:
