the final gold rush?:naughty:
What's the problem in giving incentives for donors? If someone invites a bad seed, staff will obviouslydo something about it.. whatever will keep the site running through this recession.
Because the right way to do it is through the same announcements via "private" invite forums :rolleyes:Quote:

Very well said TrueSounds, don't know why some cut their veins if FTN decides to reward those who donate with invites. After all they are ones that keep it alive. If they will invite bad seeds those will come upon their reputation. :rolleyes:Quote:

btw, is the tracker even worthwhile the effort people do to get in?
or is it all about status?
I have heard FTN is faster and has much better retention,more secure than GFT,this is one of the reasons people want it
what GFT !!!!! there's no any compare between GFT & FTNQuote:

If you're looking for a smaller site (for security or whatever) then its good. But at the end of the day, its just another tracker, with the typical tracker stuff on it.Quote:

how much u gotta donate?
i'm guessing $5 as usual :s
nothing, if they would bother hading out invites to non-donors too. I remember two christmas ago, they used to hand out invites upon request. Then they closed the request system and it has been $ to invite ever since.Quote:

It's a great site. I don't know if it's worth the effort to get into, it depends on what you'd be doing with your time otherwise :PQuote:

I wonder if the new invited users are getting invites, cause I see some are donating.T hat would be pushing the sketchiness, cause they have not had time to familiarize with the site, and I doubt they've even read the rules yet.
my point wasn't every good user should get an invite, although i suppose it came that way. I was rather trying to compare invite policy now w/ what it was 2 years ago.Quote:

Comparing these guys to ScT is ridiculous, I think anyone who had both can testify to the glaring differences in personalities between the two. If anything, it gives them an opportunity to weed out douchebags, making room for some better usersQuote:

fsc will never go P2L or P2I just isn't going to happen and if you think that you obviously know very little about how that site is run.Quote:

Interesting? Ok, the Scarlett Johansson had anal sex with Benico Del Toro one is a win for you. :lol:
Funny thing is, some tens of thousands of people every year believe that "I read someplace that that a human is an immortal alien spirit that is trapped on Earth in a physical body" and are exploited by it everyday in order to milk the maximum amount of money out of them to fund a "religion".
It's called Scientology.
Ftn did it to there selves by making their site so hard to get invites on, while having similar sites as GFT who have less strict invite rules.
There has only been one legitimate request so far on this forum, and all the guy is getting is referrals to GFT.
Mean while there are over 10 trades going on for an ftn invite.
Is trading really that much of an issue in FTN? I can see it accounting for a fair bit of new sign-ups, but most members are stingy with invites anyway, I couldn't expect a trader to last in there long with the huge deal of activity he must be displaying.
Traders a big deal?Quote:

But how can you expect members that break the rules the second they join to be good members (trading invites).
There are 10 trading threads for 1 request thread on this site. That is a major problem for a large site like ftn.
And then on top of that, the one request thread is being referred to Gft lol... This is a problem...
Reputable members on this website should be offered an invite, just on the basis that the majority of invites being used belong to traders currently.
No, no. You misunderstood me. I'm the idealist on trackers always asking whether traders are getting the easy end of the stick or not. I was just wondering if it's actually as big a problem as people make it out to be when FTN is the tracker in question.
I always think that traders are a poison slowly killing a tracker from the inside; Examples: the situation with HDBits (with their stagnant activity, till invites are open) or when ScT shut down and the IRC was pure chaos under trading activity. But in this case, I just can't understand how the trading is such a big problem. It's not unheard of to hear people saying things like "There's currently only 30 FTN invites out there" and I seriously doubt those people are stupid enough to trade them away.
lol well I'd rather the site didn't load at all than it went P2I ;)Quote:

If I donate now, I do get an invite from ftn?
You used to have a good chance of getting an invite if you were a good user and have donated..Quote:

Weren't ScT invites buyable back then?
good bye FTN
