Content is great stoi.Keep it up man!
why not allowed free mail reg
bad design
good site, really bad design, and a bit slowly
We have just moved servers, hence why its a bit slow atm, we are working on the problems, but you will just have to bare with it for awhile i`m afraid.
Bad design, again, we have a theme competition going, you can see some of the entries in the Tracker Design Forum.
Forums are up and running, if you cannot get in do this.
Logout of the tracker, Clear your BCG cookies, Login to the tracker, go to forums and you will be automatically logged in.
and we do not allow free emails, btw we have a list of over 4000 free email providers that will be going on the email ban list soon, to stop traders.
its easy to sign up for gmail or hotmail, create account and then trade both accounts. its a lot harder (and not sure if you would want to) create an ISP mail and then sign up and trade the account + mail
Umm... does that mean I am going to get screwed anytime now coz I used a free email provider service..
If I am please don't coz I am not a trader and btw I will never trade for bcg for anything..
No, if you already have a free one, then thats fine, its just for new members that are signing up.
oh...
thanks for that info..
I was scared there for a moment..
:)
In my oppinion is the best games tracker that you can find it :) Congrats Stoi !
Blackcats is great right now. I've never found a problem with the skins, and love the black theme despite it's dropdown menus. The SP system is great for old games but I'll generally seed them well over anyways, since I don't dl too many games as it is. It also helps out users with a bad internet connection. I've always searched and found every PC game I've wanted, and the few times there's 1 seeder that doesn't seed 24/7, a few people reseeded after a request. With it being open now, I can't see why anyone would want to use a different dedicated game tracker...
Area's of improvement would be faster pre's and a fresh theme, but personally I could care less
i cant tell u till i get an invite :P
Signups are open :pQuote:

fantastic site i love it. the sp system is great, without it i would be affraid to download torrents with 0 leachers like on most music sites, but as i usually seed for a few weeks i know ill always keep a good ratio on your tracker.
keep up the good work
great site i just be here
I enjoy BCG for many reasons. They always have new game releases fairly quick, and there are enough seeders to maintain a good ratio easily.
My favorite part of the tracker is the Seed Point feature, which helps you to reduce your number of Hit 'n Runs. A feature like that shows that the staff truly wishes to embrace all of the user community and give them a fighting chance to maintain a good ratio.
It's already a good tracker, and I know with time it'll grow every stronger. :)
in my opinion is a great tracker ...is the best tracker for games ....and a new design is a great ideea...:)
what will happening with the invite sistem?...because i see in my profile i dont have it any invite...i know is not working for sometime ....it is just a question :):)....sorry for my english
Blackcats has loads of games. I love it. But it is a bit hard to seed over there.
keep trying. the signup opens every 20~25min.:)Quote:

Loads of games, good speeds, great bonus system. Love it!
they just have been disable many accounts recently without any reason
have we?, thats news to me.
If your disabled, i can assure you, there was a reason.
Stoi.. any idea when the new themes will be implemented. There are some really cool themes which have been there for months
Also, one of the reasons I dont use BCG much is because I am stuck with utorrent 1.8 beta as my isp throttles every other version and when I have utorrent and azureus running at the same time the PC becomes really slow. So if you guys will ever support ut1.8beta then it would be really cool
Ok, i think the best way to improve a site is to look at the compition and see how they handle things.
For example : You want a really old file, and you want to get it sometime this millenia you go to BCG. i have to say stoi as far as content goes you have got this section wrapped up. BitGamer and ntorrents seem to struggle in this department.
If you want the content quickly, BCG can be a little bit hit and miss on Pre times, but tbh most users dont have a scooby whats happening with regards to pre chans and scene axx, so i cant see this as a problem. If you want your games quickly get axx or wait for a bit.
I dont know whether it should be mentioned but i keep getting weird glitches when using FF3 - but im guessing its the new FF borking tbh.
Personally i like the whole seeding structure and i find that 72 hours is more than reasonable. Especially for that hard to get game that would have taken yonks to aquire on another site. Also with large Swarms on new items the speeds you can generate are awesome. [maxxed my box out on more than one occasion - and on my old gbit i could get some awesome traffic too]
All in all BCG is a good site with everything a user could ask for - good content, excellent forum and really active staff members. Maybe just add a new theme in as the themes are - well crap tbh. The white one seems to be to "clean" if that makes sense.
All in all stoi you have a sweet site - and the fact you have been closed for so long has ensured that you have a very close knit gaming community and this is what i think most people are after when they join the site.
themes will be done soon i think, how soon though i have no idea.
They probably wont just be download and ftp and drop them in the folder like TBdev themes would be.
They will probably need a little bit of fine tweaking to work properly, and other things are higher on the agenda atm.
as for Utorrent 1.8 beta, 2-3 weeks after that beta turns proper we will allow it, so whenever that will be only the utorrent devs know.
@ MB
Well i am not bothered about pre-times, obviously i would not complain if we got them fast lol but i hear a few users saying we could be better (i dont think our pre time on the tracker is working properly either atm)
So this is why the change in request rules was done.
PU and above can now request a game seconds after pre, and 1 of our 4000+ SPU can fill that request.
wether this will work as planned, only time will tell.
stoi my account has been disabled, i know the reason, but can't fix my error. blackCats is definitely closed? :( or i have any chance to signup?
Thanks!
could anyone give me an invite to blackcats as i am an uploader on iptorrrents and its my duty to upload re encodes and xbox 360 games as i need a good site
Peace
BBY
heres my email if you want to send me an invite to black cats and ill send you an invite to iptorrents.com [email protected]
Peace
BBY
well we are closed, I know why you were disabled, i am going to have a word with the staffer that disabled you, see what i can do, but dont bank on getting your account back, it may/may not happen.
@BBY
wrong place to be asking for an Invite, and we do not have any Invites either atm.
oh ok stoi i didnt know because i am new here
Peace
BBY
Ok as long as we can be open and honest I will tell you something that I don't like about BCG.
For earning SP's there is a maximum number of torrents you can be seeding. WHY ? i believe its 5 for regular users, 10 for power user and 15 for super power user.
IF you go above those numbers you automatically stop earning SP's on alllll your torrents.... that is about the stupidest idea i've ever heard of. Why would you want to have a rule that essentially DISCOURAGES seeding ?? ? ?
IMHO SP's should have absolutely nothing to do with the # of torrents i'm seeding. if i'm seeding 1,000 torrents then good for me i should still be able to earn SP's on the 2 that need it.
someone needs to address this IMMEDIATELY.
Ok i just got your Email, usually i would just Ignore it but i am going to answer this one here.
the Invite section is here
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bit...d-requests-90/
i am not sure if you can see it yet though, i think you can.
and even if you were to become a member, you would have to become at least a PU in order to apply to be an Uploader, not everyone can upload on BCG.
But we are closed tight atm, our new referal system should be open on the 15th September though, so maybe you will have some luck then. we are just not taking any members before then.
no we dont and if your seeding over 50 torrents on BCG you will get your paskey reset, uploader or not.
Seeding to many torrents is bloody silly, i would rather the torrent went dead and got re-uploaded, than an emule user uploading 100 torrents at 1KBs each.
oh! thanks stoi! if my account back I will be very very happy :D:D but if it cannot be, Only I can hope that the signups will be open again! Stoi Thanks for all! its a pleasure talk with you.
P.D. Sorry for my english (i'm spanish)
Bye!!!
i prefer a long linear menu rather than drop-down menus to find profile, torrents, and forums etc.
just my preference though. just a minor nitpick
well that would be TBdev.Quote:

And i have 28 links in the drop down menu`s, dont think all that will fit on a TBdev Stylesheet lol
Content is fantastic No Coment
btw @ Raban no need to shout, I heard your complaint without shouting.
We may be changing it slightly in the future, but we will always have some sort of seeding limit, we have 6500 torrents, a lot go fast even those that are from 18 months ago go at a fair pace, so it must be working, so why change a system that works.
and btw its
5 for KL
10 for User and PU
15 for SPU and above
even i just get 15 if i want SP, but as i have never had more than 8 torrents in my client in my life, the 15 is totally wasted on me, i just dont see the need to have that many seeding at all.
Only thing that benefits from that is your Global ratio, the leechers dont benefit from it. and there is no way on earth you can manage 1000 torrents properly, i struggle to manage 8 and feel guilty for seeding that many.
thanks stoi and i am able to see it thank you
Peace
BBY
that's ridiculous. the leechers benefit from having extremely well seeded torrents cause they get what they want FAST.Quote:

BCG is one of the few sites i know of that PENALIZES people for seeding. 99% of other sites *REWARD* people for seeding. the more torrents the better.
what is the downside of having every torrent on BCG with 50 seeders ? THERE IS NONE. the SP system kicks in and gives new leechers the ability to get the torrent to 1.0 ratio no matter how many seeders there are.
Yeah, most sites enjoy when users seed lots of torrents for a long time.
what would you rather have 50 seeders giving 1KBs each, or 5 seeders giving 100KBs each.
I know which i would rather have.
just because a torrent has a lot of seeders, does not mean it will go fast, just look at public trackers for that, 3,000 seeders and 20KBs download.
It works, its worked for the past 2 years, we still have torrents on from 2 years ago that you can get 900KBs on easy, so why change it, not that we would anyway.
BCG has a lot of seeders and speeds are great. So really like Stoi said. There is no point in having each user seed 50 or 100 torrents. The speeds would suck like that anyways.
Besides you get a hit if you hit and run so everyone must seed whatever they get untill 1:1 or untill the SP system gives you a ratio of 1. This tracker has the perfect system in place.
