I used to collect stamps but then I hit puberty.:OTrue story btw
(Long) After that I used to collect single malt but I found that I was always drinking my collection :(("nother true story btw)
The best and only useful thing to collect is life experiences and friendships and consequentially memories.Hopefully one day I will see the wisdom in my own words and do a better job of doing it.

Oh well as long as I'm not collecting dust or debts I guess.

this is the wisest post you have ever posted imo . I'm not kidding , really I'm serious :) .I agree with you completely and I still don't realize that fact and I wonder why.
I have to admit that at some point I was really obsessed with these trackers when I first started and wanted to be a member of each and everyone of them at any price but with time I realized that they maybe be important but they are not the most important and that's a fact.
and I also have to admit that there are trackers I still want to join and I still seek them but not like before.

I know these are some big words for " just some trackers " but everything in life even the most ridiculous things are important in some way :) .

It's definitely seems to be the "thrill of the chase" factor.

Old post, but I'm looking over this and I can't fail but to draw the analogy between this and college applications. It's so close that it's scary.

Now if people could beat this mentality into all the arrogant bastards over at collegeconfidential...

The big and tangible difference is that trackers don't differ that much from each other in almost every way, while colleges actually have massively bigger or smaller endowments. The educational experience, on the other hand, does not have a direct relationship to endowment size.

Like college, you just have to find the tracker that's right FOR YOU, not because other people told you so. (Unlike college, at least you don't have to spend 50 grand a year just to "try it out" in the U.S.)

It's your average J-Dye post.

You should have quoted him, now all the fun will be lost the second a Mod notices him and makes his 250th account go boom. :(

since we all love to seed our favorite movies forever .. elite trackers exist ...

then elite trackers only open signups once every while, we have to wait ..

so waiting makes it hard to get in ..

since it is hard to get in , people care about those trackers ..

they do not misuse trackers ..

so that is how trackers becomes leet ..

trackers have to stay that way ..

otherwise really elite movies would end up in demonoid ...

For moi I would have to say community,content and speed.

Yeah, those are the usual excuses. :happy:

Not excuses, Reasons. I could honestly say I LOVE BCG's irc channel and speed...content you'll find even on Demonoid, with given time.

But then again, BCG isn't l33t, is it? :lol:

Note that "l33t" refers to rarity, not quality. :)

Ahh but it is l33t my heart! :wub:

... because they are 1337

^Because they are what? Numbers? :lol:

On a serious note - it's in human nature to want things they can't get.
And all those reviews about "great/awesome/the best" communities makes it all worse.

:yup:

Who honestly cares if people want to go after trackers that they perceive are l33t. It wouldn't harm the trackers they are going after as long as they are active members. I hate any douchebag I invite to a site that doesn't download shit and just abandons his account, those type of collectors will sit on their accounts whether they are high level or not it doesn't make a difference. If somebody wants to chase trackers let him, at least maybe he will be smart enough to know he has to at least pretend to use his other accounts if he ever wants to be considered. People who collect l33t trackers are no worse than people who just sit on their accounts or let them die. To the trackers it doesn't really make a difference when they disable the member for inactivity, they don't even consider if it's an account of a level chaser. To them it's little more than a two second auto ban.

Yeah that's my general point, they are essentially the same people. So people who complain about level chasers and we all know who they are just by looking at the f*c giveaway thread; what they don't get is it doesn't matter so much about what the invitee is chasing so much as HOW they are chasing it.

Couldn't just be stupidly always looking for something "better" and being constantly disappointed at the result could it?
I mean if people are constantly always saying something about how "such and such a place is so great" ( whether it's true or whether they even honestly believe what they are saying or not) and you are even mildly unhappy with your current trackers ,isn't it only logical to look elsewhere?
The stupid part only really comes into play when you fail to realize that you will probably never be satisfied and that you are simply continuing to bang your head against a wall.

I didn't read all the thread but: Leet "collectors" are always traders, or they really put all those trackers to good use?
And I find it really stupid to go after leet trackers if you're not interested in the content. There are better things to do in life than waste time in something you'll not use. Actually there are better things to do in life than come here and write posts like this =/

the answer is no. there are at least as much measured and even negative feedbacks in here as enthusiastic ones about those so called leet trackers.

people, especially kids from btland, only see what they want to see and no doubt they would use any pretext to fulfill their greed. just saying.

Define l337 tracker or better yet give a list of them.Are there any l337 trackers that aren't general ? And is "l337ism" measured only by the difficulty in getting into?
If that's the case then it's a pretty piss poor reason to be considered l337 or anyone desiring to be a member of such.

Seems to me then the l337 is more a function of wanting to keep people out than any measure of being truly worth the prefix.

I suppose the reputation of them being cool is probably what drives it
