mate,
this way of discussing issues won't take us any where .
you like to trade and i don't
what's the problem ?
i'm not asking you to stop and don't ask me to change the way i'm looking at things.
as i said i like community based trackers , i dunno what's wrong with that ?
i know many people use it as an excuse to get into high level trackers - whatever this suppose to mean - but don't include me with them .
i have all the trackers i need and i'm not looking for more .
i wish you the best :)

Speed, design, security, staff, pre-times, etc, are all just pluses. They couldn't survive alone.
SnowTigers has not forums or *Community* what do you think about it?Quote:

Security and Content. I think a great mix of rarity with great content is what makes a tracker popular. A great forum community will make the tracker priceless. I love a friendly environment on top of an already excellent site. Could care less about pre-time. It's great to have but not as important as great content.
Just to make it clear, I was referring to to the difficulty of attaining an invitation to a site.Quote:

What effort does the tracker do to protect its members' information (e.g: does a tracker properly encrypt passwords? Are user passwords stored on the tracker? Will a raid of authorities on the tracker compromise its members?)
Is there support for encrypted connections to site?
I hope this answers your question. As you can see, the definition of "Security" is very wide in my opinion. I would have probably added a few more items to that list if I wasn't in a hurry.
In my opinion speed, friendly staff, pretimes and the forums.
peers and speed
its clear for my now thank you i think this happend in hdbits before there was security issues if i am not wrong and this made me lost my email with some accounts too so yes i think security is very important in that wayQuote:

Ok, the poll is closed.
Very interesting results. The majority of users seem to be interested in the content of the trackers, and none of them seem to care that much about the IRC (no votes and only 2 posts mentioned it, one of which was in a negative context).
As I explained earlier, I deliberately chose to exclude the "community" option from the poll as that would have drawn many votes just because of the buzz around the word "community". I've included the Forums, IRC and Friendly Staff options to try and replace that and all 3 options together got less than 8%. Of course, a community is much more than the combination of these 3 factors (there are bonds, atmosphere etc.), but still I would have expected community oriented people to be more inclined to vote for one of these options. The lack of votes there is a good indication that most users are indeed not interested in communities.
The 2nd most important option according to the poll is Security, with 13.5% of the votes. I find that very encouraging, as I think many times security is overlooked, and in the post Oink torrent-world, I believe Security is one of the most important aspects of file sharing.
It would've been great if I could do a complete comparison of the results with those of a previous poll made by 0Ri0N about 6 months ago, but unfortunately some of the metrics differ and it seems that he allowed multiple answers to the poll whereas I only allowed a single answer, which makes it very hard to compare between the two. One thing that is worth mentioning in this regard is that in the previous poll, Speed was found to be the most important factor, while in this poll it only got to 3rd place with 12.36% of the votes. One explanation would be that people are becoming less and less bothered by speed, but a more probable explanation would be that people are still quite interested in speed but usually it's not the most important thing for them - that's why Speed got a very high number of votes in a multiple answers poll and only managed 3rd place in a single answer poll.
Anyway, I would like to thank all the people that participated in the poll. :)
1. Pre
2. Content
3. Staff
content is the keypoint
Content and speed.
im only a member of BCG so sort of lived in a cave when it comes to other trackers.
but for me it all depends on the type of tracker.
Some sort of half decent community but it doesnt have to be 3000 posts a day in the forums.
Most staff are friendly anyway, its only if you do something wrong you think they are an ass.
design = you cant please everyone all the time, some may like it, others hate it, so that doesnt realy bother me that much.
rarity= what the hell is this anyway, im still confused lol
ppl say there isnt a lot of demand for a tracker, so it shouldnt go up, but then it hasnt got invites or open signups and they come down hard on trading. so hmm im not surprised there isnt a lot of demand for it.
so no rarity doesnt bother me at all.
0 day tracker = pre times
an everything tracker = content
specialized tracker = content
A brand new tracker = security (as in tracker side, db secure etc) but then you never know if it is, even if the owner says it is, it still might have a lot of holes.
A well established tracker probably has most holes secured, or should have if they have lasted a while.
staff + content + Security
what's a tracker with bad speed and content ?!
every new one :PQuote:
