You don't know who pwner101 is? LOL he may be disabled here but he's a pretty well known name in the tracker + scene community.

I know TopHos, I didn't join, even during the long open signup, I remember they had this bling bling banner, it appears to be a pretty decent site from what I've seen.
I'm just curious to know what mod it was, so I could tell if it was indeed an old mod, or just a young forum mod, in any case he most likely isn't staffing anymore, and fortunately for everyone a mod doesn't represent a community, I've come across several mods on several trackers who were just the kind of persons I would never give any power to, under any circumstances...
Isn't Pwner101 also known as MelvinMeow? Or am I thinking of the wrong person?
yup, pwner101 is melvinmeow.
A nest of thieves evolving?
:lol:
But... I thought TPS was the place to go and get invited to uk-t, ftwr, ftn or fsc.
No traders there, no invite selling via pm, all honest peeps, very friendly and community oriented, and honest staff too. How could have things gone so wrong? :idunno:
Nice subtle way to put all these words together for google Cabalo, why am I not surprised of such a classy move?
As far as I know, and as far as I can tell from my personal experience I never saw any of these being successful, the only members asking for trades in the forums were banned swiftly, and the ban log was a daily freak show, some tried, and failed, badly, now there were surely some bad apples keeping a low profile, like anywhere else, but I never came across any of these, and anyway, in the end, they always ended up getting caught. TPS was and is known for its anti-trader group after all. It's not btracs, or fst for that matter.
Having disabled people invited from TPS myself, I can tell you they aren't all patron saints of the torrenting world.
Really it's the same shitpile of people that are present here, just with a bit of air freshener applied. Most of them are just swapping "low level" invites for rep so they can hit Captain and request whatever's still on their limited movement list (FTN was the big ticket last time I checked), and then fade away, never to be seen again.
Assuming, of course, you didn't get smacked with the banhammer for questioning the authority of their staff team or voicing your opinion in public.
I agree that it was a once pretty nice place actually, with lots of great members in there and useful info. I only check the place from time to time and post occasionally and never voiced my opinion in public about tps related matters so i don't know what could have happened if i did.
I completely agree with this. I saw countless supposedly "awesome members" in their forums who vanished after joining their dream tracker(s). I guess they are a new type of collectos (collect'n'run?) :rolleyes:
Anyway, wasn't there some troubles because the seedbox service they offered? Interesting how everything changes when money gets involved :pinch:
Why they keep sending me emails?? I requested to be disabled and deleted from their db.
And their irc sever doesn't work.
TPS used to be a cool place. But that was a long time ago. A long time before bubbl3 even joined the site, for instance. I was one of the people who kept defending the site for a bit too long and I've learned something from it.
Stay away from it. Want cool invites? Hang around here and survive numerous checks by the BT police that roams the BTinvites area here and insults everyone (well allmost everyone, noone messes with Canadians!!) and you'll get them. But be prepared to do the hardest thing in life, being honest. :P
Right for most part. I distanced myself from it in all possible ways when I saw a significant change of attitude amongst peeps who had started calling the shots on the site. It had turned into a cesspool of invite and level chasing whores fellating each other off for a random invite, and to make matters worse, a bunch of power tripping peeps had been chosen to 'manage/run' it. Am not a bit surprised at the way things panned out, for things were destined to fall they way they did, sooner or later.
Forums are started in order to get peeps together and to discuss things as they, individually see it. The entire purpose becomes moot when every single post by a random upstanding member gets quoted to death, and agreed upon by other peeps who intend to suck him off in order to stay in his good books. In such an environment, the free thinkers, so to say, are outnumbered and any genuine opinion/comment is met with staunch criticism by people devoid of the ability to think rationally and logically, and who speak for the sake of agreeing with the other few peeps as they have vested interests and have some random invites to gain.
I don't know the current owners, nor do I care. For picking up and trying to breathe life into something so worthless and fucked up doesn't seem to be the action of a person in the right frame of mind.
//Peace
The mods name was Beagle.
And yes to the above comments.
I'm only DP because I shovel shit against the tide instead of just accepting it like alot of others.
Cabalo have you guys not noticed no issues arising for some time between myself and this site?
It seems you guys might have finally figured out what was causing the issues...
I'm all about security not shit-urity.
But that in itself is a different story.
Ah, still sticking with that are ya Melvin....
I've responded to you several times, including the last time you tried to bring this up here, yet you still stick with your fairytale, which you apparently wish were true.

*Note that the poster "Beagleshithimself" is N3v3R, the then owner of TPS.
Here's a copy of the pastebin mentioned in those posts: http://pastebin.com/30BgDN6v
Here are the facts:
-- I've been torrenting for years without a single issue
-- I have hundreds of GBs of downloads from various sites and multiple TBs uploaded with never a hint of impropriety
-- At the time of that "incident" I had not one, but two, seedboxes.
-- The seedbox in question is the one which I did not even have root access to.
-- I had several other torrents downloaded at the site in question without issue.
-- When Melvin mentions "cheating" he makes it sound as if someone used RatioMaster to upload tons of data, but no, in this case the "cheating" he's referring to is one single torrent that, for whatever reason, did not correctly report download stats. He is falsely accusing me of "stealing" a single 4.3GB DVDR. That is the "cheating" we're talking about here.
It's no wonder everyone thinks you're a douchebag, Melvin.
Yes, I've noticed. For a while I thought you lost your love for us :cry:
To be honest, I don't know what exactly was the change which you refer to, all I can assure it's efforts have been done to keep FST clean from some trash that inhabit(ed) here. Or maybe it was already being done in the past, but with less vigor or visibility.
Sometimes it's not only about making changes, but also showing they are being done too.
^^ Its more the fact you guys seem to have given up on things Detale and Skizo were so keen on doing.
Refer back to the times I was harassing your then private forums where they ^^ were trying to get stuff posted.
Notice you guys have not made the same attempts... which is why I haven't had any issues with FST or the current staff in quite some time.
I have also noticed alot less trashy posts so thats a plus on the new mods part.
I think there was alot more trash posting in years past due to most of it coming from former mods.
@beagle. Nice of you to bring up some nice quotes.
I was being nice when we had that discussion based on the part that Muddslinger as well as N3v3r were personally vouching for you.
To end the dispute I said what I said to you. (Which if you even read your own logs I still said the box was used for cheating.)
The box you used was no doubt reporting incorrect stats. It was proven to be a cheat client.
I merely gave you the benefit of the doubt based on the fact that it was a shared seedbox.
You mentioned other torrents you leeched were reporting stats incorrectly which is a load of bull. Looking at your accounts logs now the dvdr in question is the only file you ever downloaded prior to being banned.
You mentioned I in fact promoted you to VIP thereafter which again is true. However, you never seen the modcomment I left on your account when doing so ;) If you only saw the comment.... I remember a certain staff member saw the comment and shot Mountain Dew across his monitor he laughed so hard.
P.S. The log of which you speak was shown to N3v3r and clearly explained to him. I also showed the logs to staff at what and a few other sites and we all came to the same conclusion that it was a cheat client.
You would really have to understand torrent protocols to see that it was a cheat client but it was in fact very clearly visible.
Its possible N3v3r may have changed his opinion after talking to staff from other sites I sent the log to. I dunno I haven't really spoken to him since the event of us originally banning you.
Well, like I said previously, you may still believe that there was a cheat client installed on that seedbox, and as much as I hate the douchebag who was administering it at the time, I don't think for a second that he'd be stupid enough to do something like that. He's an asshole, but he's not a stupid one.
To say that the DVDR in question is the only file I downloaded from your site is an outright lie. It was one of at least a half dozen, or more. It was also one of hundreds that were downloaded using that same box. There was not one single issue with any of those, which were downloaded from probably about a dozen different sites. So, we have hundreds of torrents from dozens of reputable sites downloaded without a single issue, and one problem with one torrent on your tracker. It's pretty clear to me where the problem lies.
[25/06 03:56] MelvinMeow: I never said you cheated....
You clearly state that you believe the issue to be with the seedbox in question, and you're quite aware of the fact that I had no admin control over that box, yet you're dragging this ancient history up yet again and trying to make it appear as if it was me who was cheating. I really have to wonder what your motives are....
Can't speak for them, but my only focus has been to drive this site forward, despite the lack of support and occasional different points of view that arise. The issues your refer to were prior to my staffing duties, and though I think I know what you are talking about, I'd rather not comment on that.
Personally, it's quite easy for me to moderate the bt sections. I don't depend at all from trackers, never did, haven't downloaded more than a handful of .torrents this year, so I speak my minds not giving a crap if some 15 year old boy staffing a tracker is going to talk shit about me on my back. Unfortunately, most people that roam on that section can't afford to do the same. If that was the case, for sure this board would be a much better place.
As this isn't a site exclusively about bittorrent, there's not much of a dependency on what trackers do or think about some of FST's stances (as opposed to places filled with fakers like CFS or TPS), which obviously collide with their private interests. That's something both sides have to live with, private and public are opposites. Attempts were made in the past to bring those different views together, but for some reason they have all failed. Some were FST's fault, but most not. And you are as guilty as anyone else you want to point the finger to.
Excellent, excellent. Well, I'll do my best not to be one of "most people that roam on that section", and thus try to follow in your large footsteps ( :cough: ) and speak my mind. Consider this my attempt to make this board "a much better place".
I'll start by translating theload of crapthings you've said above, so the general public knows what's it about. The short story is Melvin wanted his site's review removed from FST for whatever reasons. This turned into a big feud between FST and Melvin, reaching the point of publishing personal data (pictures, names addresses) on both parts (pretty ugly if you ask me), and ended with FST staff crapping their pants at the idea that MM is going to hack the server, and deciding to back off and remove the TopHos review from FST. That's, after all, why there isn't one available on site, isn't it? You're not going to say you simply don't have a good review, are you..
Well guess what, congratulations, FST has again shown the only thing that works with it is power. Well done MM.
Now you can go ahead and deny everything I just said above, or claim you didn't know anything about it. ;)
Well.. my gen of mods rivalled CN, no room for tophos drama there. I don't know MM at all (cept that he's buddies with the serb, like. All the more reason I ignore his site.), I can assume Idoleyes didn't know him either, I guess Cab did/does to some extent? I'd think the reason there's never any problems with tophos is because that site successfully faded away, and noone cares enough to talk about it. And probably noone but Hombre cares much about reviews these days.
Bumrocks sorted out most of CN's problems, that's over with. Only a matter of time until the next tracker rep/FST staffer to ego trip. It's been quite peaceful on FST as of late, probably will be a year or so until a naive next gen kid "an hero's" publicly on here.:whistling
By the sounds of this thread, these guys have moved on to more private forums to start their personal dramas.
You must be laying off the drugs because you've been making a whole lot of sense lately.
As for the rest of the crap written here I guess if what has transpired in the ancient past with a totally different set of players involved directs your present actions then I suggest you get yourself a gun and start shooting Indians or Germans or something ( not really killing is immoral).
Basically ( then and now) the only "problem " that I've had with anyone is stupidity,intolerance and excessive ego .And that's only me btw although I think some other people may also suffer from the same .
Oh yeah and dishonesty although I can't cop to that one.
Btw if one whit of decency ( at least the way I define it) still exists at FST then I think pro you should be thanking Cabalo instead of lambasting him .
Also everyone always uses the argument "unless you are directly involved how can you possibly know that the actual facts are" ( I would personally say even then you shouldn't be 100% certain) .
Maybe let us also apply it to this thread.
I am running dry of stimulants, it wasn't my choice. :pinch:
This thread has run its course. I'm outta here.
You miserable fake piece of shit. Please don't embarrass yourself further. You stopped with your shit because I exposed you as the fraud you are. Your empty threats were proven to be bullshit and your fake details about me proven to be false. How bout this?Don't mention me again ,ever. No one is scared of you anymore you cunt.Please dry up and blow away already. k, thx, bye
I am sure they exist in special only invite forums
...and what on god's green earth are you on about? :huh:
I did not hear of this forum before, but from what I'm reading it's best to stay away from it. Am I right?
Meh it's not soooo bad. They just have some unsavory people there like that dick mel
EDIT: i did a quick read-back and Marinatior- Fuck Canada!
It used to be a cool place in the beginning, but few power- and money- hungry people ruined it. From what I've heared new owner does his job pretty nice, but still, I don't trust him that much. So MY answer would be yes, don't bother joining. It won't be as great and fun as it was once.
That's just my opinion. Never really tried to know what exactly happened there, just abandoned the place when realised it was full of shit. Bit IMO the downfall of TPS started with open-signups and continued with seedboxes.
Also, I don't even know you and how you're connected to all this stuff, so nothing personal.
