Re: FST Bittorrent Newcomer Award 2008
I simply don't give a crap ... it's just another way to find out what trackers people have so a ton of beggers can start sending PM's for invites, only this time it's an 'official' thread :rolleyes:

I haven't voted yet, and i won't do it in the future. So I believe I am not lying when saying I don't give a crap what tracker is the best newcomer in 2008, or any other year.
What i do give a crap about is the quality of a thread like this, and the thousands of other 'what is your favourite tracker' in all it's varieties. :frusty:

I can't argue with you on this second post at all. I'll chalk my response to the first post up to a lack of specificity, and the appearance of animosity :P I guess I was being a bit more literal in my definition of "giving a crap" by including a negative opinion in caring one way or the other.

Everyone has the right to vote. No one is an idiot for having a different opinion. It was their choise to vote for ifi, for vortex. I don't even know how these trackers are, but it doesn't matter how they are. If the other persons found something interesting there, it's his problem.

Re: FST Bittorrent Newcomer Award 2008
It`s an unfair poll,PtN will win for sure...Anyway,good luck to all involved in those trackers,I wish you an new year full of leechers and donors,new designers ,faster servers and old seeds.
God bless p2p,BT,scene and all pirates

Re: FST Bittorrent Newcomer Award 2008
I voted STC because of my love for no ratio trackers. When brokenstones down, it became a must have for mac torrenters and even to this day, it arguably as good as the returned brokenstones for content yet ahead due to no ratio (INHO). I would've also voted PTN for the exact reason but you can only vote once.

Re: FST Bittorrent Newcomer Award 2008

Re: FST Bittorrent Newcomer Award 2008
i just noticed that i made a small typo. ptb is supposed to be ptp (passthepopcorn). i don't know anything about this site, maybe that's why it happend. i doubt that it'll beat the winner, but nevertheless i'm sorry about that.
the poll can't be edited.

How is an open poll, with each person getting one vote, not held in Florida, an unfair poll? To be frank, I do agree with disme on the fact that this is an overdone and unnecessary subject matter, but really?
w00t, that 52 votes out of the how many thousands of members of FST sure makes me positive that it's a fix. :blink: I personally could care two whits about winning a poll at a site that has never borne any kind of favoritism or above average consideration for our site(in fact in alot of cases, quite the opposite in me estimation)
Thank you much for the well wishes, really, and I wish the same for any site out there that is willing to persevere and make their site work even if luck, life, and the world around them appear to be stacked against them as those are the sites that embody what sharing is all about. Not just the good times and the high esteem, but the shit rep and crap talking too. All the feeble seedbox ddosing and broken machinery, the kick ass packs and good conversation, The bugs, that sometimes turn into butterflys, the great ideas that don't quite work. All that shit is why I do this, and I'm sure the same can be said for alot of our loyal active users who've been there from the start. We aren't the only site in the world that suffers from downtime you know, we just happen to get it talked about disdainfully more frequently from people who hold a grudge for whatever reason.
While at the outset, we had a horrific reception here, and that was partly our fault and partly the fault of a bunch of kiddies that decided to make their own userbars for a site they knew nothing about(ffs, some of those user bars were on this site well before we we're online) . That is where alot of the animosity on this board started as far as I can tell, and I don't get why it continues. We work hard, we change the things that need changed as time permits, we try to create a user friendly environment, and I guess our users appreciate it.
Sorry to present all these words and stuff, but I get really tired of the PtN bashing. if you don't like it, then please PM on site and ask to be disabled. If you aren't there, then what do you know? If you don't care, then why even bother? I'm posting here because for ill or nil our users feel more comfortable with expressing their enjoyment of our tracker. It's laughable to me that a site with 1400 users could possibly be considered to have an unfair advantage in this affair, but hey, it's an opinion poll, so we are all entitled to our opinions huh? :frusty:

I'm assuming he meant unfair in that other trackers (GFT,TTC,etc..) were left out, which would have sucked up alot of votes

haha, youre right. SDBits is the only site worth anything on this list. Thats only because of the internal encoders.

and I do this think that *someone* established that GFT and TTC were established in 2007. Not like it matters. And in that respect TiT shouldnt be here either.

I would've ranked them about the same, and above PTN
Sorry, but a tracker with 1.5k members will never get my vote. Let's not mention forums where the forum games and pr0n threads seem to account for half the posts :dry:
Don't get my wrong, PtN is unique in it's own ways, but best? Not quite.

Re: FST Bittorrent Newcomer Award 2008
Not a member of the other but P*n is a great site. Heard good things on sdbits too.

Re: FST Bittorrent Newcomer Award 2008
@PB - If GfT wasnt a part of this Poll in 2007 then surely it can be made a part of this poll .. It wudnt be that lopsided then with every tom dick and harry supporting a site that has just managed to kept itself alive through the year .. Its get too many sympathy votes
I get it that the staff it good but if u r a good user then u dont need the staff to support you all the way .. Ultimately its the content that matters in the end and u have a strong contender in form of the mafia family .. IMO it actually beats teh PTN straight out in terms of security,uniqueness and content ..

if the information is wrong, blame the user who posted the screenshot. the poll can't be edited anyways.
if you want to know fst's opinion about gft, open a thread: "what do you think about gft?" or "ptn vs. gft" or whatever...
