If you can't afford a fast connection, how can you afford CDs? Public trackers does not ensure quality, something which P's does.Quote:

Well, in my country it is the other way around; a decent broadband connection can be bought for the same price as three CDs. Don't come and tell me that the uploader have to buy one CD per download he makes, how cheap do you think that'll be in the long run?
Anyhow, this is very offtopic so I suggest we turn the discussion to be regarding P's again.
What? You seem to have missed the point. Many users don't even buy any recordable media anymore, so those costs don't even exist for them. Big hard drives are cheap, they download the stuff they need, store it, and if they don't like it anymore, simply delete it. Or buy additional storage.
But those costs are nowhere near the monthly fees they have to pay for broadband. And, as you may have to understand also, Scandinavia is an exception in this respect, the vast majority of users, particularly in less developed countries, have to pay considerably more than you pay. Maybe you need to broaden your horizon a little.
The most part of the world has incredible problems to access a decent Internet account, not to talk about ADSL or Cable.
You can get endless CDs for free at the library, end of story.Quote:

While I don't think the overseeding issue is as bad as it's being portrayed, I don't agree with the way Rollo and FlacMonkey were treated. I don't really know all the others that were banned/demoted. Anyway, if you guys are going to a different tracker now, I'd like to follow. If someone could PM me to let me know, I'd appreciate it.
i guess they'll stick with E* - not sure you can follow them there :(Quote:

Back on topic, its only partly about the money, if I didn't make it obvious that to me open discourse is the greater issue.
I see a bunch of stupid posts by a bunch of stupid babies. :naughty:
Grow up people. This is not politics. This is a motherf*cking torrent site. Use it, enjoy it, and shut the f*ck up. :) If you don't like my rules, you can leave..... Just make sure that the door doesn't hit you in the ass on your way out.
I have much better things to do than regularly be active on the Pedro's forums. I'd rather get laid, get fresh air, meet up with friends and spend time with family. That's just me though....
Rather than verbally assault me now, how about you purchase a ticket to fly to Poland, arrive here, put your dukes up and have one on one combat with me? It would be far more entertaining.
Thank you.
haha what a prick, if that's actually him.Quote:

I agree, this is more than likely an imposter posing as Pedro. The sad thing is.....It is kind of the way he feels though he would never publicly post such. I also find it amusing that others have told me that all of a sudden there are rule changes on the site concerning the very subject that started all this that are now in effect. Also there is a way for people that were banned to contact the tracker, apparently for readmission to the site. This says a few things to me: 1. Money is more important to Pedro than community. 2.The community is only considered when it may affect donations. 3. He apparently now has realized that people were treated like crap. 4. The only way to get changes to the tracker that benefit the community is through means which affect the income stream.Quote:

The uploaders are upset because they do the work and it appears the only person who gains financially, the mods running the site do not receive a penny as far as I know, has absolutely no respect or appreciation for them or the work they do in order for his tracker to exist and for him to make a profit. As for the onlookers that are not directly involved that have contributed their 2 cents worth,they apparently have a little time on their hands to spare.
To me this is not only about the money, it is about respect and appreciation. Some may feel that is an "old fashioned" way of seeing things in the internet age but these are the values I was raised on and I feel they still have a place in todays society.
I totally agree with cottonseed. Excellent post, my friend http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/2792/respect2wu0.gif http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/3...thumbupis0.gif

Oh, so here's little Tut posting away.
Still crying over me banning you? I bet the tears haven't even begun to dry yet.
If you have nothing more to bring to the table than insults and idle threats then I suggest that you also "leave and make sure that the door doesn't hit you in the ass on your way out".
Maybe you need to kick him in the ass and trow him out of the door.Quote:

Let me guess.....MrPedro aka AllAlone aka BlackSummer aka VR. Come on... tell me I am not right. Talk about tears, apparently you are still a little upset over the fact that you were booted out of your mod position as the overwhelming majority of users thought you sucked. Only an idiot like VR would stoop to such a level and try to create a little hostility by posting such trash. Seen it before and probably will see it again as he just does not get it that while he may succeed initially in getting to people, the ending is always the same. FAILURE. At least we use the names that those on the net know us by and don't hide like little children behind different names. If this is not you VR, I apologize to all the others for even associating them with a nimrod like him ;)Quote:
