Never knew that wabbit or wheelmods were secured or secretive..else why would they close...atleast in the case of wheely..

Coming back to the topic..does a forum being secret makes it secure or the other way round..I guess no..If a tracker can be penetrated then too an invite forum..which raises the very basic question abt these invite forums..does being secret serve the purpose ?

My curiosity was that some of the names of these invite forums are srsly different than what I have come across till now(these are mostly hidden and abbreviated)..but I dont think its that hard finding them or joining them if u know the right resources or have some good friends..and I think maybe FST will serve the purpose of helping me to get to know abt them..

So, you're just considering fst as a step stone to move to a better place? :lol:
Goodness gracious me...

What do you expect to find anywhere else that you can not find here?
Any site with over 500 members maybe less, is not entirely secret and never will be. I thought a site with a smaller and selective user base would provide more security than a site that is well known and is easy to obtain a invite to, has a large member base, etc.

I'm a member at CFS. I guess that should give you an idea how shitty the community is.

And I have to LOL at people trying to use FST as a stepping stone, especially to get ino a forum. I just don't buy the outgrowing bullshit, pardon my french.

Someone told me it was like leaving your parents' house when you get older. Well, the point of moving out is to meet more new people, not to stay in contact with only a few selected, albeit new ones (while not talking to your parents ever again).

Of course you can live with your parents one day, in a flat another and in a shack on the beach the third, in this sense. And that's what I'm doing, visiting a few other forums. But I tell you this: FST has the most new members daily and that means new people to meet. :P

Do you know anything leeter than that?

Well u gave me an idea about one from that list..what abt the others ?
Secondly I am not using FST as a stepping stone for my endeavor..I said that it will allow me to know more abt the forums..And my remark of joining them was general not particular..anyone who knows them or has the proper friends wont have trouble getting in..I in particular am curious abt their existence..rather then their content..

FST is the best and will remain so..Just was curious abt the mentioned invite forums existing so secretively..that its so hard to know abt their site and their existence..

swas1980, then do not worry about secret invite forums as you will find any info that you will not here. People seek curiosity or the chance being a part of that special forum will get them to whatever site they want. So untrue.
Others are just curious for knowledge or made there own forum to acquire invites for their friends, themselves or to profit. FST is one of the only BT forums that does NOT accept donations. It's members keep this forum alive, not donations or promise of invites.

Thnx for the info bud..But if all these are true..then why so secret and hidden..I mean if the so called invite forums do not serve their purpose of invites then remaining hidden is creating less profit for them..

I stand by my old post that I do not know any of those abbreviated invite forums..which raised my curiosity..so knowing them isnt that bad either..since either ways they dont serve the purpose as suggested..

for those trackers that allow it, the absolutely best place for reviews currently is TPS

swas1980, I wasn't describing a forum. I was describing a state of mind, that's common at a few places where I'm at. Doesn't mean the whole "community" is like that.
