I graduated from the university of iowa with a degree in electronics. My upbringing was actually very normal. I was part of a middle class family. The oldest of 3 kids. I have 2 younger sisters age 25 and 22. My parents were hard workers and involved in the community. My dad was a highschool basketball coach while my mother is an interior designer. I grew up in a fairly quiet community. Nothing high class...it wasnt like one of those gated communities or anything. Everyone just knew everyone. The kind of community where you could trust your neighbors. Where you almost never had to lock your doors. My parents instilled in us many old values. Among these was that if you want to succeed in this world you need to work hard. You should value your friends and neighbors as you value yourself. Dont put yourself on a pedistal...everyone is equal and we shouldnt see anyone as being either above or below us. Treat others as you would want to be treated. And that above all your word is your bond. My father always said no matter what you will always have 2 things...your word and your balls...and not to break either of them for anyone. My parents also taught us that everyone makes mistakes...because nobody is perfect. But the important thing is to identify those mistakes and to learn from them.
I am married to a wonderful woman. We were actually highschool sweethearts. We have been married going on 10 years now. We have 2 children...both boys. Ages 4 yrs and 5 months. My wife and my kids are my life. There is nothing that i hold more important than my family. my wife is a graduate of the university of iowa...with a degree in business. She is actually the one that takes care of most the day to day operations with our business. We own a place called "automotive innovations". We do custom car audio & video installs. She takes care of the dealings in the office while im usually out in the shop making sure procedures are followed and everyone is doing what they need to be doing. But im also right there along side of my employees doing installs. I am MECP certified as are all of my employees that do actual installs. We do however from time to time have employees who arent. These employees mostly take care of unloading the trucks when supplies come in as well as cleaning up around the shop. Whey also observe as actual installs are taking place. Once they feel they are ready we have them take the MECP course to become master certified which pay for. Once that course is passed we hire them on as fulltime master installers.
I have lots of hobbies. First and formost is spending time with my family. I enjoy restoring old cars. I like to write poetry. I enjoy wood working. I also like to work with the community. Particualarly people that arent as fortunate as us. We recently opened up a community center for troubled inner city youth. Where we try to show them that guns, gangs and drugs arent the way. My wife also works with families of homicide victims since she knows they type of pain that they experience...as both of her parents were killed in a car jacking when she was 16. We also host an annual softball tournament for inner city youth every summer.
Ive been torrenting for about 5yrs now. And yes i havent posted here in awhile. I just honestly havent really had the time. My wife had some complications during her last pregnancy. We just got finished building a new home. We moved into our new business location about 13 months ago as well. And i just had to let those thing take priority. Im now in the position where i have more free time on my hands though. As far as where i am a menber at. Im on FTN FSC and PTN as well as a few other sites.
Am i trustworthy? I feel that i am but everyone has there own opinion of what a trustworthy person is. So i will leave that conclusion up to you. Everyone has there option and they are rightfully intitled to it.
Hopefully ill be able to be a member of your community...if not id just like to thank you for reading my sorta "long winded" post and considering me. Hope you find the good members you are looking for here at FST and may your lives be long and prosperous.
., ill send a pm instead.
Sent my application via pm. Hope thats okay.
To see how creative you write when begging something you didnt even know.Apart from chi-chat,forum & BT ofc.Btw you already have it all here and there, why bother?Quote:

Hello,
this is my application for the TTC section. Before I introduce myself, let me say that I've been lurking Filesharingtalk since at least two years, even it's not my native language. It's a good resource for technical guides or just to read some general chatter. I registered just to take my chance and hope something good comes out of it. Even if I'm not allowed, maybe we can have a chat somewhere? :)
I'm a german tracker owner and am applying because there are two things I really appreciate and which are harder to find in my national torrent community than love in real life: Real trust and technical expertise. Anyway: I've been into sharing since I got my first computer when I was nine years old. Back then Hotline was the next big thing and most Servers for it were invite-only. I did a fair share with Hotline, mostly supporting other users with the local rules. Then came highschool and I started programming C and Perl (back then the webservice language of choice), thats when I got my first contact with some FTP folks. I didn't like their elitarian style, so I switched to BitTorrent antileech trackers where I've been actively coding since 2005. Now I'm studying computer science at a local university with security being my research interest.
But it's not the code or axx or something similar I'm seeking with this application. I'm really after nice chats nowadays, because thats what makes this whole thing fun: Meeting nice people you can trust and talk. If there is a special section where more open talks about torrent related topics or tracker steering can take place, that's a place I'd like to be. It's not always easy to take the right (programming-,social-,management-)decisions and a second view can help lots.
I read the posts of some others seeking all there is to know about p2p. I'd like to know more about myself and how others feel about themselves when running a tracker. There is not much cooperation in my community, I tried hard the last year to make german trackers more secure by providing security advisories and helping secure their databases where I could, but ultimately failed because of ignorance. Maybe someone can learn from what I did or I can, by how you do it here.
Personal I'm around my middle twenties, my hobbies have evolved from running thirteen servers in the supposed kitchen to Sports and Home Theater. Got a girlfriend thats backing me up when I need it and am looking forward to (well baby, hope you don't read that the coming two years :P) marry her. I've not been the most nicest guy in the past, but have done all I could to improve the last five years. I deeply believe thats what life is about: Trying to improve oneself and try to be better. (Which StarTrek character said said?:) ).
If you can profit somehow by me posting or answering some of the questions in your TTC section, I'd be grateful.

EDIT1: Oops, I just re-read the first post just to be sure I don't miss anything. Why can I be trusted? First from an objective standpoint, because I don't gain anything by betrayal. My reason for applying is talking to people, that would not work without trust. From a subjective point of view it's my belief in trust itself. Trust is like a raw egg. Once broken, you can never fix it. Hope being honest is not seen negative here.
EDIT2: If you want links to my security project or my trackers, please lets find some private way to exchange them :)
Which one?Quote:

it's 11 pages so far and I still cant see the reason for joining such groups
Hello Polarbear,
unfortunately I'm not old enough here to be able to send private messages. I could join some IRC or send mail, so we can continue this in private.
Hope privacy is not seen negatively :)
Oh dear. Then PM me when you're allowed to. It's not like you'll be hunted down if you say what tracker you staff at.
Its TmA, Torrent mal Anders.
This is my application :
i've been in torrenting , filesharing world for about 8 years and each time i find out something i didn't know . I' m not a tracker stuff or anything but i like finding out new things or helping out members when i can . If there are serious discussions in ttc about filesharing and real life as well then i'm very interested in joining . What i'm looking for and still haven't found yet is a place with serious discussions , troll free place where each one knows each other and can talk and ask help about anything .
This is my short but honest application , hopefully i will meet you there
I would also like to apply if it's not too late...
Some of you know me, i am listed as QPD in absolutely all BT related places i have an account to. I am member of many trackers, and i am active on all of them. I spend a lot of time lurking around few IRC channels as well.I am also staffer on a certain tracker and member of other staff forums communities.
How long have you been file sharing? Describe you as much as possible, what are your interests, tell us something interesting, anything relevant
I started filesharing in jan 2007 on open trackers, then in march 2007 i joined my first private tracker where i became administrator after 6 months and over 3000 uploads, then i grew little by little...
How much is respecting the spirit of file sharing important to you?
Only thing i can say here is that even in open trackers I used to seed to a minimum 1:1 ratio. It is also true that i have very decent internet speed.
Describe you as much as possible, what are your interests, tell us something interesting, anything relevant.
I can only do that in PM..trust issues... :P
Why should you invite me?
Now to be honest, i don't know too many things about TTC, but it sounds like a place to be with civilized people and interesting discussions. If you consider me belonging there, then help me out!
There is no "absolute" reason for me to be invited.It's all about the interviewer's desire to hook me up.I am not looking for any benefits other than nice atmosphere and intelligent discussions.
Oh and if there are any trolls there, please disregard my application.
Why can i be trusted ?
Nobody can be trusted 100%, and i consider you cannot buy trust with good behavior. In the end trust is just another calculated risk...
Cheers!
quite right.

In other words you want to know what's in it for you? Not a good start.. imho.Quote:
