maybe thats the point to make more money before they get shut down. either way i think its a terrible thing to do and when they closed signups i decided to not let my account expire which i was doing as i didnt use it anymore on the anticipation it would get better with closed doors but now i really wish they had delacct enabled.
Goodbye TL .. you suck.
Well, i gotta say. I'm glad I'm already a member. Being a member I have to say, if I wasn't a member there and that was the only way in, I think i'd pay. The reason is the content is great, its easy to keep a good ratio, and it's fast. The 3 most important things in a tracker for a person who can't spend a lot of time on the net, and has a regular 5 megabit cable line. I think a 1 time fee is acceptable as long as the tracker is around for at least a year, with the hope of many more years. But thats only because the tracker is so user friendly. I have heard people complain about staff there but I have never needed to speak to one and probable never will, so I don't know about that. I don't think I'd pay for any other tracker regardless of rarity. I have up to level 9 and none are as usefull as TL. If this is just temporary, they have their reasons and there's nothing to complain about because we'll have our invites back. If people can't wait, they can pay. I don't think this can be compared to sct yet.
That said
I hope this is temporary. I hope no other trackers take this route.
with the demise of oink..... i think this is more of a get it while you can scheme for the sysops.. and FTW....Quote:

i feel sorry for them poor mis-guided souls
-REGUARDS-
Its not their first time. I guess everything will be like before after some time. I think it will never shut down :)
Closing down for "security reasons" but allowing vip... If any anti-piracy association wants to get in you think they don't have €25 to do that? pfff...
So much for security now huh.
Greed gets the best of us... But good thing I am already a member there D:
Closing down for "security reasons
sorry but where did anyone post we are closing reg ans invites for that reason ?
we closed invites 1 week before oink was closed and no one from tl ever stated that was the reason it was users here saying that.
as to the vip users have always been able to donate this way to get and account so there is no change there either
all i can say is if you don't like the way the site is run pm NEO on site and i will be happy to delete you accounts
and not a single one of the people who complain most will do this :lol:Quote:

i mean why they have nothing special and they aint rare i mean i can live with that on ScT but on TL neve
I actually hope they get raided
I love the way that on TL anytime someone airs a concern about the site they get told to put up or get lost. No site is perfect and its completely understandable that someone would want to remain a member of the site but not approve of the way it is run. Why dont you try to explain the motivation behind this decision?... I suspect the reason you dont is because that would involve admitting that the TL sysops only really care about making money and that this is one area of the site where you probably have very little input.Quote:

i have already said that in another post here
vip accounts have been about on tl for 3 years nothing has changed
the only change is invites are closed
which means the only way in is to PAY.Quote:

Well...I can understand why...i Mean the service that they GIVE US FOR FREE....I mean...its not THAT bad...even though its not really SHARING then...but BUYING FOR CHEAP.
Last time I checked its the users uploading bandwidth.Quote:

Tiraspol, they still can get donations and sell VIP to current members, that isn't what is being discussed here. They are allowing anyone to sign up, if they pay for VIP. Why disable invites, if you are just going to let any schmuk in the door who is willing to pay?
Whoever deleted my account after my previous post, thank you honestly. It is what i wanted.
I wasn't really using it anyways and had no need for it.

kingrob, on the other hand, spells like a 4th grader...and im assuming he DOES know how to speak english. so i suppose that the reality of the matter is that ur point is fallacious seeing as how you cannot really compare the two
apples and oranges my friend
apples
and
oranges
:)
TL make a killing off VIPs. Not to mention the fact they launder money through that web hosting company ;)
Anyone who wishes that is-hmn-not gon even say!:shutup:

every site that goes down is a failure for us. Doesnt matter what they do, its still a torrent site. And apparently its one of the largest.
Also the more these large sites go down, the more smaller sites crop up in their place, and u can always expect one of those to belong to them. So, if u like use them, or leave it be. Its upto the siteops to chose what happens to the site, we always dont know whats going on behinf the screens. Maybe they do need money?
But hoping that a torrent site go down , is just stabbing the community in the back. I wanna say it again.
Dont like it?
Move on
just for being that low the riaa is gona come take em down now
