people will and can say whatever they want. they do it, because they think it rises the chance of being invited.Quote:

if some people i consider friends in the bt world ask me for an invite, i'd never ask them back why they want it. i'd just give it to them because i know how they behave on their sites and i trust them.
the only way to get to know people is via forums and/or irc.
so the community factor is important. especially on small, secure sites. if you don't take part in forum activities people will never know you hence trust you.
on small sites i'd rather invite someone who doesn't just buffer his account, but conrtributes with good forum posts. for the simple fact that he meets new people and old members.
if you can be proud to mention that you invited your invitee to the site, then you chose a good one.
if you have to ask for screenshots or speedtests you didn't choose the right one.
You shouldn't quote things out of their context just to be able to post some retarded picture in the hopes someone will notice your incredible sense of humour and sent you an invite to one of your 'dream'-trackers.:rolleyes:Quote:

i agree, i really like communties like E****, where the forums aren't filled with spamming kids. on specialized sites people have something in common, something to talk about. they can discuss serious topics with like minded people and don't get bored and start playing forum games with one word replies.Quote:

In other words, the fact that you have seen fit to post a response at this webserver (using the forum frontend supplied) means that you interact with websites.
I know people who don't drive, and who have no interest in cars whatsoever (they use peddle power). To them, they are only cars ffs. On the flipside, others will be totally loyal to the manufacturer of their dream car, whether it be Mercs, Lambo's, Ferrari's, Fords, Subaru's or whatever they decide to drive.
If people here honestly felt that websites warranted the most cursory glances, then things such as blogs, forum communities, facebook, and other mediums for communicating, would all fall into disuse.
The simple fact is that torrent communities, like any other type of website, are in demand. You only have to read the invites section of this board to see how many people want this, that or the other website (regardless of why they want it).
People have even been known to try and trade their accounts on eBay. Surely that proves that they aren't JUST websites, the same as they aren't JUST cars, or they aren't JUST mobile phones.
Think of websites as just another form of collectables, like stamps or football cards. Check out your bookmarks and tell me how many different sites you have bookmarked. Is it less than ten, or more than fifty? Some people need a bookmark manager to handle all their bookmarks, and some people use different browsers to handle different websites.
Just a website? Yeah, right!

People use websites and facilities such as blogs,forums,facebook etc but they are also free to constructively criticize them. It's the challenge for the owners to be able to handle criticism and improve if they see fit.Quote:

The same argument could be applied to any pastime we participate it...
Just a cigarette. Yeah Right!
Just a Pint. Yeah Right!
Just a Car. Yeah Right!
Browsing the web (surfing), or pulling files, or sending emails (as long as it is not business related), are no different from any other pastime.
I love to drive my car, just for the drive (no a to z journey), and I love to ride my bike just for the freedom it gives me. I also love to browse the web, just for the knowledge I gain, even if that knowledge is trivial.
I doubt any of us are here in a professional capacity, even as staffers. We all do it because it is a part of our lives that is our own. When we go to the bar for a drink, it is not done on the orders of a higher up, but because we want to do it. Because we want to chill out.
For people who say, 'get a life', I would suggest you look at your own lives first. Everyone here has a life, and the freedom to choose how you spend that life is a fundamental right of all, and no petty dictator should tell someone else to 'get a life'.
So what if I run a website. I can tell you that there are members who spend more time at my website than I do, and I also know that they value the service I have provided, and for me it is the value that the member holds for my site over any other attribute my site could offer.
At the end of the day, it is the doers who offer a choice, and the takers who make that choice. Just because a car manufacturer can produce a new model does not automatically guarantee success of that model, the same as a new website will not guarantee it's popularity. Only those who consume the content will guarantee it's success.
In a fair world, we are all entitled to our own opinions, and we are also entitled to express our opinions to others, even if they have differing opinions. Just because the opinions of SoulReaper and myself differ, doesn't mean I hold no less a respect for the guy. In fact, I hold him in a higher regard simply because he has argued his own corner admirably, even though our opinions are at odds.
Sharing is caring. Sharing is what it's all about. Sharing is something one does without consideration and without expectation of gaining something for in return. It's connected to love and is selfless. However it is though a fact, that if one shares, often one does receive something for in return but that shouldn't be the aim. Communities grow around those that share! This Board is proof of that.
no one needs to say "i'm in for the community" "i want it for the community" "i heard it has a great community" that's just bullshit...those statements should be proved, i would never ever ever ever invite someone to oneof the communities i'm a member of just cause they say that...however i would if they actually mean it,and that's very easy to find out.
I think people just say that because they do not have decent speed to say "i'm in for the files"........
