Yeah, I've never seen anyone give an actual good reason for wanting to join high level trackers. Because really, those reasons are few and far between.Quote:

As I wrote in another thread, the "high level trackers" that have the strongest appeal are the specialised ones with unique content, e.g. HDbits or TT, not the general ones, at least IMHO. The content of general trackers is very much the same, it's the unique content you don't find elsewhere what makes them interesting.
But I do agree that a lot of people just want to 'collect' rare sites (-> e-doodle enlargement syndrome).
Thats for sure :D :whistlingQuote:

Because of the over hype I was a little disappointed when I created an account. I guess I was expecting the things that were always said, and are still said about the tracker. Like awesome packs(which in my opinion there aren't) and the forums to be outstanding(which in my opinion they aren't). The only thing that I personally found to be true from all the FTN talk was the site has no ratio. Which I find to be a very helpful feature.

House Season 1 you get it in TB, very well seeded, freeleech and as a plus youīll increase your ratio because there will always be some lost soul grabbing it.
I canīt agree about the community thing tho, but itīs something very personal, there are users who like to participate in forums, internal contests, to be in a familiar and friendly environment, make friends, etc, and at that... closed and small sites are unbeatable.
But how does a requester know if they will fit into a community or not? 99% of the time the person will have no clue about the community on a certain tracker. That's why I think the "community excuse" is the most BS of them all.
If the people requesting invites to exclusive sites get in, there's a good chance they won't participate at all. One of the only reasons they have for joining is to add another tracker to their collection.
Well, I never liked to generalize. Iīm nobody for telling who really believes in that community thing and who does not. Of course there are many collectors and users who only want to see their e-penis grow, but not every single requester should be labeled that way. Itīs in his/her hands to demonstrate what kind of user he/she is. I only can say something told 1 million times, a fact, and that it seems nobody believes in: if you fit in the profile youīll be invited, most likely even without having to ask for it.Quote:

Of course BT users are curious to know about the more elusive trackers, but to make it some sort of life goal to get into ANY tracker is just ridiculous, and that should be obvious to anyone.
Dream..lol
Thats a little too far fetched.
Anyway, a ratio free 0day wid great speeds and pre times is a winning combination in itself. The community comes as an added incentive.IRC is fun and the forums are quite active.
the staffers have now started working on some really nice features, which would add on to its appeal. But even then, Dreaming of FTN? Ridiculous,i say :P
PS: i dream of driving a koenigsegg CCXR while Rihanna gives me a blowjob. Man those ( . ) ( . ) are fucking awesome :)
One's life situation must be really sad if they're seriously dreaming about a torrent site. What do they do, close their eyes and finally see past the login page? And like gold flows out of their screen? I'd seriously love to know.
you're on the interwebz. such dreams are possible.
That IS NOT the reason why most people want to be in.:noes:Quote:

FTN is not 'heaven' and nothing to 'dream' about ... all in all it's a decent 0-day tracker with a limited userbase where you can have your occasional chat or forum-discussion and you'll find the torrents you find on other 0-day trackers and are able to get them with reasonable speeds.
+1. Every word is true. Liking or disliking a tracker is personal choice to make.Quote:

Hype certainly raises expectations, but it finally comes down to what "you" feel about the features they offer.Some might be satisfied with merely downloading torrents in complete silence while they listen to mozart, but some like to have a lil chat while they wait for their stuff to download, and maybe contribute in useful and constructive discussions, or just LOL at a few jokes on the forums and drool at the girl next door in the XXX section. :P
Weighing a word before typing should help people convey their ideas in a better way, and their intentions as well.I reiterate when i say, "Dream" is a heavy word to use while talking in context of a tracker, and many people seem to agree with that. So i guess there is one iota of truth in it as well. :yup:
Better voiced than I managed. This is what I meant. Everything for the curious is here. Seriously folks, don't believe the hype.Quote:

It's irrelevant what they say on the threads, the "dreaming" clause may be a little over the top, but it gets the point across, clichéd as it may be.
In the end there's nothing wrong with wanting to get into FTN or FTWR or E**** or Skittles or Wheelmods or UK-T or FSC or whatever the "1337" shit is nowadays - it's just human nature to be curious, and many of these sites make a career out of their secrecy. That is the central point of attraction for the masses.
same here. there's absolutely nothing more than on any other 0day tracker and i don't use it much than that.Quote:

yea i can understand why people saying all that stuff abouth FTN,since they hear from someone how great it is and it is ratio free with very fast pre (great speed as always) then everyone would say that at the moment.:)
SCT, SCC, GFT, RevTT, TL, Pretome, DigitalHive etc... have great speeds and good pretimes as well and the 'community' is a forum like any other tracker's forums and have absolutely nothing special compared with them.Quote:

oh and i see many members singing the praises of the no ratio system while 80% of them use to buffer their account as hell in order to reach userclasses lol..
DigitalHive,Pretome?? ok if u say so:)Quote:

i was talking abouth FTN only not to compare FTN with others..
yea it is true many people buffer accounts because they (can!) have abnormaly high connections speeds and i dont see any problems with that,but also there are people who dont have fast connection like me so it helps a lot to download sometimes something on ftn and then seed on 2 more sites
Yeah the community part is kinda personal, but it can be measured somehow with the numbersQuote:

Here I'm saying, every one alleges that some tracker have a good community is a liar sorry (except Tbytes)
I have read lots about how fucking awesome community this or that tracker has and after joining it turned out to be just bullshit, with dozens of spammers can't post more than ONE LINE posts and I'm repeating ONE LINE posts
The only real community I seen was TB (more than 1.1 million posts) that is how I say it can be measured by numbers, they have no spam forums like count with image, and they know lots about you and your interests from the discussions on daily basis in almost every aspect of life
I also respect & like FSC community but it's small
Otherwise, if you really know a real community please tell me
Edit: and you are right about Jessica
All I have to say is that for those that talk about the great communities in these small trackers is that I would hope that they have as many posts at Skizo has here on those trackers. Otherwise ,they really are full of it.
I mean what's so great about those great forums and their communities if you don't get involved?
I personally think that most people care about content and speed. Then there are some that might care about security if they have ever got a letter from their ISP for example. And then there may be some that might care about the forums. Those people with a shit lot of posts on the forums.
I can't speak for Digitalhive, but yes, Pretome has great speeds and really good pre's. Plus it's no ratio.Quote:

My biggest problem with Digital Hive is that their forums are kind of stagnant. I know content should be the major concern, but I can't deal with a dead forum. Otherwise speeds are OK... not a ton of content though.
By the way, I heard FTN was working on some sort of software. Would anyone be able to elaborate on that for me? (If I'm not supposed to mention this it will be removed.)

Ok, so we killed the mirc script that allowed you to download torrents because of sites abusing the output.. So I started to develop a program that initiates a secure connection to FTN and downloads torrents based on a similar concept without the need for irc (this way it'll work on linux and mac systems as well).
Gotta agree on pretome, they are really good.
n00bz0r, thanks for answering my question so quickly. An FTN user told me it was a whole new torrent client, so that's why I asked. :lol:
lol a whole new torrent client?:noes::lol:Quote:

Well, I'm not a member of GFT, so I can't compare the two. But I do like it a lot more than FTN. There's a lot of great content on the site.
i think he just got confused, its just a different way of getting the torrent files delivered to the torrent client (via VPN) or so it seems by looking at what has been said.Quote:

Anyway, the announcement was later elaborated upon and discussed on the forums and IRC. It helps if you idle at a few places that dont give you IRC Idling Bonus :lol:
As Brandon said in IRC, its much more than a torrent client. It will eliminate the need of a website for torrent downloading. You can use the software to do all your torrenting. He didn't give out a lot of info though, because he just started working on it (i.e. about 5 days ago).Quote:
