[..] You may refer to "FTN" instead.

Same with other torrent sites..I think the * only confuse the users.

Btw, I think the step you made is right. gj!

fyi FTN was censored for a long time here to F**, it wasnt me who decided to censor it, but i got used to it so i began censoring it myself :)

and about the confusions with the asterisks, i think the people who have the sites/ can afford the sites already know what they stand for, and the people who dont know probably dont afford to get the sites and hence dont need to know. on another note, you dont really need the url/name of the site until you join, and when you get someone to invite you, it will be displayed in the email. knowing the name/url doesnt help one at all unless he is able to access the site.
this list is not meant to popularize the sites among the unknowing people, far from that, its only meant to display their estimated rarity to the people who already know them. ;)

@shosh

uk-t should definitely rank higher than sct and tb, but the 5 rating is the limit so theres nowhere higher left to go. so for the moment it'll just remain there... ppl who can afford uk-t already know its value anyway

Was this a few days ago, maybe two weeks or so? At this time, a good friend of mine offered me an invite for free but i was not interested. The site was not to my liking, so probably i do not understand why so many users want to become a meber there. Maybe one day i will...
Also i want to say that there was a spell in the beginning of this year where signups at TB were open, i signed up but enjoyed spending time with my gf in the summer instead of logging in there on a regular basis so they pruned my account. Like a lot of other trackers did as well.
I think that it's a good idea to rate the different trackers here even though i cannot follow all the time (like **-*). What's the sense in being a member of a smaller community with a limited amount of torrents, are the releases so well-picked?

can't be busy with your gf 42 days in a row...if u get my drift:naughty: ... not humanly possible :D

i doubt theres a tracker better than sct i love it :)
what about snowtigers? :)

Hehe, that's right on one hand. On the other hand: ... okay, i don't say anything...
Well, i have to admit that i forgot about most BT sites last summer. Seems that i really had luck with FB, FL and even FTN because they had open signups and somebody invited me to FTN without even requesting it. How could i know that one day it's so hard to get back in there? A few other sites pruned my acc even though i was still seeding there all the time. At that time i thought that seeding was "being active"...

Interesting question, it's a French one. What about the German ones? The German TS is not even small, they are invite only. Every PU gets 4 invites and after one year membership another 2. In case the invitee becomes PU, the inviter gets another invite. In case the invitee was a bad apple, the inviter gets nothing back. But one could lose one's account there in case the invitee gets caught cheating.

hey can someone send me what the sites abbreviations mean for rank 4 and up?? please by pm??

I think thats Rautap*rtt* i mean RP worth 5 ,signup is closed to reach PU status u need to up 60 GB and have a Ratio of 1.05
Ollut jäsenenä vähintään 2 viikkoa, On lähettänyt vähintään 60 GB ja Ratio on yli 1.05.
Yleneminen on automaattinen kun ehdot täyttyvät. Huomaa että sinut automaattisesti alenn

snowtigers, for me worth at least 4,5.

he has signup closed and a lot of 0day, torrents and members
