Intr4ns1t could you explain this to me? Because I don't see anything wonderful about those stats.
You are misinterpreting the data.Hardly anyone is newbish enough to think that an ill-conceived request on some dubious internet invite board will get them into FTN hence few if any requests.
On the other hand as been stated many,many times FST remains a preeminent haven for trading in a climate where such places are becoming increasingly rare so obviously anyone of that ilk with a FTN invite to offer( or wanting one) is probably going to ( unfortunately) try their luck here.
Exactly, thank you.Quote:

It's the same misinterpretation of data that is in part to blame for this place's ( sometimes) bad reputation.
The bad is apparent even to the most congenitally stupid while sometimes seeing the good requires a bit more effort.
Congratulations you have just,in brief (applicable to any site) , given the reason behind most trading.Quote:

The only reason that some people do and some people don't is ethics not economy of effort.
Yes idol but this isn't like any other site which is the point I'm trying to make.
It's more difficult for a legitimate member to get into Ftn as compared to other sites, where as the ease still exists for traders.
This is in return going to attract a majority of poor members, which will trade for their way in.
No it's "easier" for someone that doesn't trade to gain admittance to FTN than someone who does.
One only requiring someone to like them and have a bit of confidence in them while the other requiring a bunch of wheeling and dealing and if successful I'm sure never a truly relaxed moment being constantly worried that they might be found out and unceremoniously truffed ( which I know for a fact most are btw).
All to get into a friggin' bt tracker that , correct me if I'm mistaken, is remarkably like countless other ones out there.
On the other hand if it's someone's "goal' to get into FTN then you are probably right that trading is the surest route but then again if it's someone's "goal "to get into FTN( or any tracker that has dozens of doppelgangers containing near identical content), then in my opinion at least ,they are already a lost cause.
why are they a legitimate user because they've made a request? I would think that most people with an invite wouldn't be wasting it on someone they don't know (I would hope anyway) and would instead give it to their friend who might enjoy the site.
i fully agree with uQuote:

I have myself been very selective in giving invites of some high level trackers and i have found that when we are extra cautious then we loose good users and land up nowhere.
anyway this is a general human mentality and i am not an exception ;)
cautiousness during handing out such invites is surely a must.
But extra cautiousness proves to be a problem at times.

2) Traded some high level trackers, and some laundered money through seed boxes for an ftn invite.
