But the movies listed in IMDB,rotten tomatoes etc are popularly liked ones.And it dosent reflect the "Awesome list" of one particular individual and taste.Quote:

For me, I am all for collections but absolutely despise packs on a movie tracker. What I mean by that is having a page/search option/filter for a certain group of movies (IMDB top 250, Criterion/MoC collection, mindfuck, director) is fine, up until you group every one of those together into a single torrent. This just makes it a pain to seed and just bad overall for the tracker, while the single movies will have more seeds, and just easier to handle. Just my 2 cents on it :P
:fst:
Naw B, it was directed at DonkeyPacker, he's part of packme.in which afaik is a pack-only tracker which has a weird ratio scheme, which probably doesn't make shit sense when compared to a 0day/pack tracker like TorrentBytes. Whoever came up with that tracker obviously did not understand what the point of 'packs' were in their normal sense. But that doesn't even matter to you guys, cause the coder made a cute pin the tail on the donkey fake login page! :lol: And this is why resigned, cause you all fall in love with stupid bullshit like this and there is a huge disconnect between me and all of you.

I think TrueSounds forgot take his medicin.
I'm not sure what PiN or its faults have to do with CN. I think I'd rather that you made a separate thread, or discussed anything you wanted in pm.
I'm not really sure what response I'm supposed to give: "You're right, I'll shut down the site asap?" If your post was to convince me of anything, it failed. Maybe you succeeded in swaying others. Honestly though, I don't think they really care. I'm guessing people are just here for the drama.
I guess they don't but the threads already derailed, and I was just mocking your post when I brought it up. I could go on about it but I'd just be saying the same words over and over
There is certainly a connection between your tracker and what has been discussed in this thread. I think it's obvious enough that I don't have to repeat myself. This isn't even about drama, if you could see the big picture it's all about the mental degeneration of this scene.
god damn hippies . :lol:
oi bumrocks. I saw in this thread or maybe another that you were going to post some more stats 'in the next couple of days'. You haven't as of yet, so I'll just ask.
What's the internal encode situation there? How do the movie categories break down? I saw a obviously old screenshot and it looked like the movies were about 10-to-1 1CD Scene to anything else. Is this still the case?
There are currently 440 releases from their official internal team which does AFR x264 SD encodes, usually ~2GB in size. There are another ~600 tagged as "CN" but only some of those will be self-ripped, many are just rips found elsewhere online that didn't have a scene group's name attached. Aside from those there are a few internal encoders from other sites that are members there and mirror their uploaded content (a certain EbP encoder from HDBits comes to mind).
You should be able to see the movie categories in any number of those leaked screenshots but they're broken down by both format/codec and genre.
thank you :)
I think I said I was going to post more stats in the next couple of days in a different thread. And this thread is the result of that post...Quote:

Additional numbers...
BD/BR: about 1000 torrents
HD: about 2000 torrents
x264/SD: about 1000 torrents
XviD: about 8500 torrents
DVD-R: around 400 torrents
We have about 50 packs but we chose not to allow anymore over a year ago now. 46 of the 50 are alive with seeders.
On a side note: We go freeleech when donation goal is met each month.
Sounds pretty sweet. Gotta say, I've been putting off applying mainly because of the mafia motif. It just seems like a bit of a shtick and a wee bit of a puerile one at that. It looks like you guys have actually managed to build quite a tracker, though, and that's really the bottom line, isn't it?
So, ..applied, we'll see what happens :)
I just finished reviewing all apps. If you got denied, let me know and we'll see what the problem was and if we can fix it.Quote:

There are about 100 rips which could be construed as AFR in the widest of definitions, Looks like about 40 or 50 genuine, 1 in x264. The internal group is something less than impressive. If you're lucky, they'll put up a screenshot, I think I saw 2 source/encode comparisons. Many times the description was nothing more than an imdb url. I even saw one ripper apologizing for retaining the grain from the source XDQuote:

While there are indeed a lot of torrents, there's a lot of redundancy, too. Its more or less just the IMDB top 500 5 times over, along with every straight-to-video action film since 1990. I don't see a 'feature' that would tell me just how many titles there are in all these torrents (I probably just can't see it). I would guess that its about 2500. While there are a couple of projects, they don't seem to make any effort towards the better source, or the better rip. There's a ton of the kind of junk you get on public trackers.
The features are certainly impressive, but they all amount to the most clutter I've ever seen on a web page. Ever. I switched off that 'advanced browse', immediately. The only other feature I could want from the site is the ability to turn off some of these goddamn 'features'.
Just to prove that I'm not a total jerk, I'll say that all the features are imaginitive, although they need a serious overhaul and should be redistributed amongst the pages. The members are very nice, as are the staff. The staff does not seem to be the group of power-mad juveniles that they've been represented as. They do actually care, I think they just suffer from some kind of collective ADD.
As many problems as I have with the site, its nothing that won't iron out in time. Eventually, the redundancy will start pissing people off and they'll consolidate some things. Hopefully, they'll find themselves using their obvious coding skills for something a bit more productive (i.e tracking available sources, collections, and filmographies). All it really needs is a giant dose of elegance, so I think I'll stick with it and maybe I can even help out a bit. :)
I really do not care about drama in BT these days. CN is actually one of my favorite movie trackers along with PTPC. They have a good amount of content ranging from old movies to new. I do not interact with staff too much on any tracker, i know bumrocks a little. He is a fair,level minded individual from what i know of him.
Hehe, the grain thing did make me laugh, but people would think the source for the rips would've been a VHS or I am just a retard :P Also the internals are SD x264 encodes that usually/almost entirely do not conform to AFR standards (We try to go for transparency to the source, instead of just a size constraint you see hehe), and just for fun most of the encodes we do are either BDRips these days (where there are no x264 SD BDRips available) or DVDRips of movies you would pretty much not find on any other tracker (mostly indie/foreign/rare releases). 'Tis all, nothing personal taken by the comments bluju, just making sure that the internal questions were straightened out. Hope everyone over there is still enjoying the rips :D

First we had every douche applying the "community " buzzword to try and proof that they /their site/their philosophy was better/cooler/more elite than the next( which proved pretty much to be an overwhelming fail unless "community consists of typing lol a lot) so now the little group of bittards that we( meaning me ) all love to hate have deemed to embraced encoding as their new lightning rod/flavor du jour.
Again does no one care about the actual content beyond AFR/x264/1080p or whichever retarded group nickname (and associated greetz:dabs:) is attached to a file?
A bad movie perfectly encoded in HD is still a bad movie in much the same way as a bunch of semi literate humourless thirteen year olds posting shit on some internet bt site and calling it "community "( not speaking of CN but generalizing here) is still my personal definition of hell.
This. especially brrips. And dat some time without screenshot and proper description.Quote:

thank u
thx for the info
Giving this a bump since we are still accepting apps...
i'm sorry i didn't use my account there, bumrocks, but it looked like you were running a pretty decent operation there and i enjoyed cn's style design, sort of ;/
No prob...I told you that it was cool if you just wanted to check out.Quote:

We don't allow RARed files anymore. And very soon we will be implementing new rules in regards to duplicate size movie torrents and not allowing them unless trumped. All are in agreements that the number of releases by so many groups are getting out of hand and redundant. As mentioned before we are working on a new category system as well.
Just joined , the design is pretty amazing! . the style is way different from any other tracker I've joined . I was surprised to be honest.
and I like that movies there are unrared.
good job bumrocks !
Edit : but you guys still need new members though , leeching and seeding isn't very active to be honest
The forums are pretty active btw for a small userbase
Thanks for the info, sound awesome. i'm still new to private trackers so it will take me a while to reach to the top.
This isn't a career path .There is no "top" and since most sites even FTN or HDbits:O tend to "carry " basically the same things there is only where you feel comfortable and where you don't. Realizing that sooner rather than later will save you a lot of time and wasted effort .Quote:

Btw I'm not a member but to those that "rag " on the "colourful" theme and classes of CN I personally kind of like it. If nothing else at least it shows some imagination.
I'd take heart over soulless efficiency any day. It might not get you ahead in life but at least you enjoy where you end up.
Atm we are closing apps, recruitments, and access to invites. So for those that are in...None of your friends will be joining for a bit.
The moral of this story is take care of you account.
