We are now accepting 15 members, with good ratios on SCT or FTN (or both):)

Are you serious? I really hope all RTS members don't think like this. Sorry, but your elitist attitude is ridiculous. I'm not one to say that you should be allowed to join any site you want, but I don't see FTN or ScT banning because of slow upload speeds as long as their users keep a good ratio.Quote:

Face it, you're not going to find 5000 seedbox users to join RTS. And if that's what the site is aiming for, instead of the common person, you should've just started an axx.
Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire
CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
Johnny Cash for those who don't know and my tribute to the requirements of RTS... LOL JK had to
Just to let you know, these "seedbox" users will definately not be filling up our site. Before we give invites out to users, who can invite, WHOEVER THEY WANT, we are trying to get a strong user database of about 200-300 elite members.:)Quote:

I was just kidding Sysop... Can I get an invite? :cool:
That's what I thought, I was just saying that your members shouldn't think that they are so elite and that common users can't join because they don't have a seedbox.Quote:

The SysOp's just want to have fast initial speed so RTS can support a larger user base where the majority of people don't have 100/100 connections. If they allowed large numbers of slower people in initially, then everyone would complain about the lack of speed and the scarcity of new uploads (because most people with slow connections don't have axx), as well as the slow pre-times.
As for bigimot's comments, the vast majority of the RTS users I've come into contact with would disagree. However, I can understand his initial reaction (though not his post) if he's a member since there are a lot of people bashing on RTS just because they're upset they can't get in right now.
I think RTS has a great community. Lots of people are extremely active on the forums and in the IRC channel. I would urge people to not pre-judge and to understand that the SysOp's are very experienced and do have a plan in mind that includes letting in lots of normal "average-joe-connection" users. To that end, they are currently working on a bonus system similar to that of FSC but which may include cool bonuses for participating in the community etc.
Lastly, we have been told that there will be invites given to members, and I am personally looking for people who have a good community spirit, an example of which I'll paste below, who managed to make his point without being derisive or confrontational:
