I have to agree in many cases as I said it is the same group of posters being forum whores in an effort to gain attention, and the same forum content repeated ad nauseum, which is the crux of the first part of my post above.
As I said the only real difference in many cases is the 'atmosphere' and this is generated primarily by how the site is staffed more than anything rather than user posts.
But I also agree that in many cases doing a new post refresh just reveals drivel in many cases, I think more than anything this has to do with the average age of torrenters though, they are primarily a young group, so highbrow discussion is right up there with dentist appointments in terms of things to do with the day.

Isn't it ironic to say so, when your own site is thriving on the "community" aspect??

Well since that's his own community he probably has alot of close friends there. I assume benchez' post was referring to this type of tracker in general and his lack of interest in them. At least that's how I read it.

This one of the main reason i dont use tracker forums, because to be honest they are full of crap threads.

Also id rather do my ranting and talking on fst, then risk getting banned from a tracker because u might of said something that did not agree with a mod.

Many are labeled 'lame' by those who seek them mistakenly thinking they are some kind of topsite, only to find more emphasis on the forum than the tracker

Ok I love forums, as you can see from my post count here lol and with the post count on my site, but when I joined 2 trackers that were supposed to be community trackers,

A: I struggled to post anything, because there was no posts that interested me at all.

---

That's what frustrates me and more than that when I take the time to start a new thread hardly anyone replies.

Coincidentally enough I just post on the a couple "top" sites words to that effect .
"Why do you have a TV forum when no one actually discusses the programs?".Beyond "I can't wait til it's on"."I just watched it" and "it rawked "that is.
No one replied.:(

Strangely I actually have very little interest in the tracker part anymore and joined these sites specifically for the "community"
I'm not saying that everyone isn't nice enough just that I don't really know why they are there.

Honestly the thought has been crossing my mind lately to just chuck it all and find a nice forum someplace.Someplace that is where people don't care about post counts and stats and other pointless shite and are there out of genuine interest .

^^ The problem is people have no common interest in 0day sites, and the only common interest in the 'community' trackers is sadly being in a 'l33t' site which doesn't transfer into an interesting forum. There are trackers that I think have awesome communities+forums, but they are not general scene trackers nor do they try to be elite.

it's called El Dorado tracker ;)

if I want files, I use a tracker.

if I want community, I use specialized forums. I've been a member of certain music related forums for eight years now, and there's more of a feeling of "community" on those sites than any tracker could ever hope for.

haha I know exactly what you are talking about, 24 right? Well there was some discussion in that forum. The ftn tv section is probably the best when it comes to discussing a select few tv shows. Another one you might want to try is bitmetv.

Yeah but I 'm not going t be a jerk like that so I will just keep posting even if it is essentially to myself.Besides maybe if I keep at it someone will take the hint and join in.


Besides I find myself very interesting so it's not so bad really.;)

@ben.Look on a "white" one too I was a little more direct.:lol:
Actually I'm not looking for some big discussion. Mainly I got angry at the "average" members and was blowing off a little steam.

I had a bit of a fight with a guy on another forum and I've been in a generally bad mood for a little while now.Unfortunately it's been coming out against people who don't really deserve it.

I think it really depends. Some people join some of the "clubhouse" trackers mostly because it's where their friends hang. While, they may have better trackers for content they'll still grab an occasional torrent for their use while uploading a torrent to help out their friends. In regards to tracker forums , most of them suck. I'm not talking activity wise, but design wise. Most of them have a crappy search feature, and lack board features such as new post. I think the poor design of those forums keeps activity down because lazy people (like me) don't feel like going through every category to find something interesting to read.

But yeah, for the most part most of the people on FST that say they are in it for the community are there just to rank up their e-penis. I doubt most of them even go to the irc or look at the forums. Hell once they figure out how lacking the content is at those trackers they'll probably grab enough torrents to keep the account alive. That makes me a saaaad pan-duh.
