You'd like to be a member, but you don't see the point, right? So why would you like to be a member?Quote:

Still imo cool stuff beats fast stuff so I found it a worthwhile site.
Also I don't know where that image is from never saw any torrents with zero snatches although in fairness a lot of people there did tend to be pretty shitty seeders.
I kinda liked the fact, that it wasn't that fast. Slower uploaders did tend to scare of the swarms of seedbox users on all sites, which in turn meant that I could download a show hours after it was upped and still be able to seed it to 1:1 within a day in many cases. Especially the unpacked versions, which were pure win, I really liked.
(Nothing against seedboxes. They just tend to kill my measly 55KB/s upload on a <3000 user site)
Also the interest in obscure stuff was great. I remember uploading some weird font which was requested like two months earlier and it got close to 30 snatches over the course of two weeks. That's more than 1% of the user base. Which brings me to the very active request section :)
I for one was sad to see it go. It was usually the first place I browsed after coming home from work.
And yeah the 2008 numbers seem very misleading. Must have been tracker trouble. While some torrents never got snatched, it was usually because they were of not all that great content.
I personally liked the people (their staff and active IRC participants). The forums were a bit dead for my tastes but that's expected on such a small site.
Trackerwise I didn't use it a huge amount, though it was a good place to request obscure material. My downloads there were mostly TV and porn :D
Also: I miss my profile full of smilies :(
OK, you're just trying to be younger than you really are there.Quote:

hey i also wanted to c what FTWR looked like..Thanks for the screens guys :)
Exactly. Their promotion system really seemed to motivate people to be active on the tracker. Also, like most of the older sites out there, they had members who only had that tracker (yes, they are a minority).Quote:

As NightOwl alluded to compared to many other trackers it was a "kinder ,gentler place " ( except for the sysops' delusions of godhood).Didn't find the forums anything special ,but then I haven't found any forums to be special ( probably why I find it just as easy to post here) and as previously stated I don't really do irc.
Just my opinion/comment but if the place still existed one thing that would really be bothering me is tha some twit would be tattling about this thread in a special section of the forums devoted to " security breaches" . Aside from maybe the posting of the screens I think that is more than a little anal/juvenile.
