Re: What do you think of blackcats-games
well i have not seen altinertia for 2 weeks now, and he has not been on the site, so the referal system was supposed to be put on tomorrow, but without him as he has all the code....
and its down on purpose, we are not taken any new members atm, actually we are getting rid of a few.
and we have very few PS3 games, just for the simple reason, you cannot play them yet, so not many download them when they do get uploaded.
Re: What do you think of blackcats-games
Thats a pitty for altinertia...I hope its just middle age's crises :) , and that he will be back soon.
Thx on reply btw. Cheers.

The Seed Points system is the most useful feature for a private tracker. Its a mystery to me why other trackers don't have the exact same system as you guys do.
The only thing I don't like is the design. Its awful. If you guys had a sleek design with a nice logo. The tracker would be perfect.

I think some bitch about the SP system hurting the speeds of the torrents(although I have never had problems with the speeds of the downloads there, new or old), so maybe that's why other trackers don't use it. I don't know, it's a mystery to me too. I would like to see every tracker using this system.
Re: What do you think of blackcats-games
Must admit i have never heard that argument, or experienced it myself, even with 5 seeds on a 18 month old torrent, i still maxed my 20meg connection on it. (and the game was crap as well, not like a blockbuster where you might expect that).
I just think its the fact that you cannot buffer on one torrent, and use that buffer to hit and run on others, but on the other side of the coin for that, if you just seed it, and even if no leechers ever show up again on it, you will get your 1 ratio so it will not be a hit and run anyway.
some of the arguments I hear, just does not make sense, and I hear a hell of a lot of arguments, a lot even say they look all over first before they download from us, and that includes Limewire, kazaa, Emule, and i just shake my head in disbelief lol
Re: What do you think of blackcats-games
Yeah, I've read those comments(about the speed) on certain torrent comments at BC. And also on other tracker forums, when the staff would make a thread like "how can we improve". And somebody will bring up your SP system.
I think it's a very lame argument. It's just weird that your tracker is the only one with this system. You would think that some tracker would have implemented this already, since trackers "borrow" ideas from each other all the time(freeleech/no ratio, bonus systems, etc.)
Re: What do you think of blackcats-games
lol well i am not a member of anywhere else, so i only get to hear about the crap people say about it, never the good.
and obviously I am not naive to think that every torrent can go at 20MB/s that we have on the tracker but the SP system does work on the faster you get rid of the leecher/s by seeding to them, the less time you have to seed for in the long run. The 20:1 the SP to cost etc etc
I dont know, im a bit sick of explaining it over and over again lol and we still get members that joined Dec 2006 asking questions about it, and others that didnt even know it existed, scary.
Re: What do you think of blackcats-games
SP system whats that......mind explaining it stoi.....kidding :P, I think it's the best game tracker out there. There are lots of multipurpose trackers and some ones that specialize in just movies or xbox related materials, but the seeds we have are a lot and you can almost always find a seed on games uploaded long before, and reseed requests are built-in on the info page for each torrent. I don't know any other trackers that do that. And I gotta praise the uploaders and members who bring us great content. Gotta thank Grizzly and Bambacha for their awesome uploads, and Harcroft for his awesome commitment to making good xbox content.
Bad things about blackcats
-I hate the forums style now, it looked better before(it's not like the stats page which I was able to get accustomed too, the art in the backround makes it hard to quickly scroll and see what I want)
-I don't like the whole lottery idea
-I want to see the top 10 list again. I think it is only for mod eyes only now.
-Paws feature doesn't seem to have any benifits yet like promised, but I think that's cause Alt hasn't showed up yet....
So I hope he comes back and is alright... $$$ I want my bonus o.O
Re: What do you think of blackcats-games
1: you can change the skin you know, bottom left of the forums, drop down box next to the languages drop down box. (how come a BCG thread always goes to the forums on here lol)
2: Lottery, as in the main page lottery, thats been on forever and a day, i think that was on even before the SP system was, if thats the lottery your on about.
3: We believe that was killing the server, so its took off for now.
4: well the paws feature is the only thing that works 100% its the other crap we have that use that, that do not work, so its on the back burner atm.

Umm... Why not?
You're the one of the best sysops I've ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on (no homo) and I'm sure ANY other tracker would love to have you as a mod/admin. I'm sure a game tracker doesn't satisfy ALL your pirating needs...
