at least it has got FST busy again.
as for the OP meh.
Doesnt matter what i say some will believe me, others wont, so why bother at all. really dont see the point in this crap.
But i have never pleaded for donations, Paypal have closed 2 of my accounts, i havnt got another yet, we have no donation links apart to flattr which is crap, and skrill which is just as crap, regs took the donations for a few months around xmas time i never seen a penny of it, nor have i since i came back (or before for that matter).
Why do you think we have the SP system, so people dont have to donate to keep their accounts, some people are just fucking thick.
:frusty:
Most people that donate to trackers do so to get something in return ie; upload credit, vip, invites, etc. & don't really give a shit what happens to the money anyway.
No one is forcing anyone to donate, so what's the big deal, as long as the tracker is up & everything's working? Someone shit in your Wheaties or somethin?
I couldn't care less if he's supporting his whole family & four other ones with donations myself. More power to him, if he's able to.
I have not seen BCG forcing sending out emails to people to donate nor they even care :lol: , seriously if they would have wanted stoi would have got bitcoins or paypal account already.
Trackers like IPT , TL , SCC want the money and they give you upload and allow you to hit and run which just defeats the purpose of bit torrent which is sharing.
I have bitcoins, I got 4 donations through it in months and that was when it was about $5 for 1, it was $120 for 1 the last time i checked so I doubt many are going to donate much that way (and i dont know wtf to do with them when i have them, i really need to look into it more)
I am not going to lie, every tracker needs cash from its members or it just wont survive, even if i had a good job, I would not pay what its costing me a month to run this, and ads just dont work on private trackers + i hate them, so if I hate them why should you put up with them.
at a guess i would say the op was louie, cant see James/Newbody/acopy/omegades or countless other X staff, maybe tony but i cant even see him bringing this up as he wasnt involved in it. (only a complete guess though but the only one i can think of to bring this back up)
water off a ducks back anyway to me now, do not care who it is or what shite they try to chuck my way, once I did but 5 years later. meh.
btw i am still friends with regs, he was the one that told me about this thread, he left in a rage fit but we have sorted our differences he doesnt want to be staff anymore but we still get on amicably. So all this Oh regs, why get rid of regs is just bull.
Hey, Rapunzel.
Don't just fuck the fuck off after your ass got handed to you.
Be a good concerned citizen and walk through the rest of your stupid plan for us, now.
Just a thought: I know that the illegal downloading of files at a torrent tracker does not quite equate to a basic human right (although some may argue so), but a dissident in China I think has no shame, in wanting to keep living in his or her country, and keep using his or her government's resources (such as public roads, toilets, water, etc.) despite simultaneously criticising the way it does things, and doing this all in full anonymity to boot, lest they be removed from receiving those things from the party they are criticising.
So I think those 'spineless/coward' allegations are not entirely sound.
Private trackers are not jury-voted democracies (which even themselves have large open holes for corruption as we all know) - they're officially even much less democratic: they are oligarchies, which funnily enough, is not unlike that of China.
If it were Australia, the worst that could happen to you (if you criticise openly) is public ridicule from the government parties you are criticising. But in China, not so.
Private trackers are China, and I think an anonymous voice of criticism is only a healthy thing for the tracker and its members who care about it - who cares about the accuser, is that not beside the point? Who's the one who people should care about defending himself and having something to prove after all? Methinks the tracker, the party which everyone (outside of the accuser) is actually involved with.
I won't go further (on the idea of 'smart/save face (but cowardly) vs. having a backbone/standing up for what you believe in (but you'll probably, idiotically, die)'), but it's an interesting thought, anyway.
The one thing you got right there is that the possibility of losing the importunity to steal video games doesn't equate to the possibility of losing one's freedom or one's life.Otherwise I believe you're a little confused in your logic.
See here's the weird thing about (for lack of a better term) honour, a person's isn't a function of how much he/she is willing to sell it for but how little.
Think degrees.I suppose most of us idiots or not would be willing to deceive to save our children's lives,probably to save our jobs,maybe if you look like OlegL to get laid but when you start getting down to stuff like lying to get a better seat at a restaurant or for a continuing membership at a torrent site then you begin to separate the good from whatever the word for not good is.
Anyway that's just my point of view but please don't come back with "but the OP isn't lying,he's merely using a bit of subterfuge" at least until you check the definition of subterfuge.
