Well ajsi, if one were truly a remarkable forum poster you would think the TTC would have privately offered him membership ages ago. spark must not meet that criteria of excellence required for the TTC to offer membership in the capacity he thinks he deserves.
Its a private axx, not something to buy. You can't kick the wheels and figure.. meh.. sure I'll give it a ride. Anyone who's in BT with more than 2 brain cells knows there's layers of places out there beyond the front door of public sites, never mind those that are very well hidden. Show me one person who will actually post on a forum and say they know what's out there in p2p and I'll reply they know 1% of what really is.
edit: ^^ Plus what he said ;)
It just happened to be towards the top, and being from the western part of the country, Tally seemed to be just redneck enough for me to use it. Also, the limited nature of a community college paired nicely with the applicant. There you go... a glimpse into my lazy, stereotyping mind. :PQuote:

the only reason i can think of why you would really, like really want to become a member of a small/popular/elite site is that you could feel elite as well. or to have the possibility to download files from a "better" place. well i've been there, done that, and you can do that for some time, but after a while, it doesn't matter, cause in the end it is about getting the files you need and period. and as far as i know, the files are same everywhere. after a while you don't pay attention if the site banner says FSC, SCC, or IPT(and honestly we all know which one of the three comes out as winner)
and for those wanting to interact in forums regulary, the argument that there are better users at those better sites is not really valid either, cause a big site or a small site, you're always gonna end up with a group of good and active posters, a group of downloaders, and a group of morons who just make trouble. by joining a better/more secret site won't prevent you from seeing/dealing with morons. from what i've seen during the years i've been using bt, even at the biggest sites there's just a small group of active and quality posters just like at those smaller sites that pick their members more carefully. it really is just about finding that place where you will like the people and the discussions that take place there. and finding that place doesn't necessarily mean getting into the most secret tracker. you don't join those places because of that. people always say i wanna join because i want to be a member of a great community, but you never see them saying i tried to interact at forums there and there and it sucked, it always seems that when they hear about fsc etc., something clicks in their brain and tells them that they need to become members of a great community only the most secret/"elite" place can offer... geez
it's always the same story, you're new, you want to have access to everything, after some time you gain access to everything and then you stop to give a damn...
the 1% that people dont see obviously isn't in the publics interest anyway or it would be released to everyone, unless your into techno-funkhouse-jazzstep i doubt you'd give a fuck about Techno.Funkhouse.Jazz.Step.Allstars.Volume.3.SHiTRlSQuote:

Which only makes sense right. And that's the point missing in this thread for most posting. They're like that 99% of people who a site like this doesn't matter. Most people posting here want axx just because. They see it as the next l33t thing and not what it really is. I still don't think the peeps here have fully wrapped their head around what TTC is about.
good thing this thread was started w/ all of the pertinent information one would need to make an informed post that can be considered an applicationQuote:

Ye, I know, but we are at FST, and this was posted here at FST, hence why I said you couldn't have not expected most of FST members come in and act like they care about anything else than the axx, which is totally typical behaviour for FST members from what my experience isQuote:

ye, sure, there must be at least a few promising members worth taking on board, just working your way through the rest to get to them might be a pain in the ass. but you gotta account for that in a huge place like this
I don't get it. TTC is just another FST section, so why was there a need to create this thread? Do you just want to know if I can be trusted? Define "trust". What is trust, in your opinion? Nobody asked me if I could be trusted before I registered on FST. So, why did the issue of trust suddenly come up when you started talking about TTC, folks? It's just another FST section! What's so special about it?
You aren't in that section. :happy:Quote:

If there were yet any doubts how rotten and egotistical the userbase around the whole bt scene is, now those are gone.
Fuck's sake, this has been ridiculous so far. No fucking honesty, no new ideas, nothing.
How the hell can someone who never posts here suddenly start posting on the TTC just because they feel it's safer? This is just the Internet. At least admit it, you want access to the external site(s).
FYI, even if you get access to the TTC, only then you will be being scrutinised to access the goodies. You won't know who can get you in, and believe me when I tell you, until very recently many of those didn't even suspect about its existence and kept saying it's some made up story.
So cut the crap, if you think you won't be granted access, you're most probably right.
Define honesty :PQuote:

I'm just after chat with experienced coders first, I admin :P
And for the new things:
Am writing an IRC-Framework for a PreDB thats using shared memory and pointer magic to be lightning-fast and could use some feedback. In PHP. Yeah, not TCL for Eggdrop, I got enough of that.
But if there are questions, why not help the guys out? :-)
I am so sorry that I am not Jesus but in our world dear immortal people join places cause there is something useful for them thereQuote:

He's actually trolled this thread like a pro, thus far. I'm very impressed with his posts this time around.Quote:

It does seem like quite a few people live and breathe bittorrent though. with threads such as "omg i need this site" or "for the love of god please invite me to that site or ill die without it". It seems to me like some people are way to into it. Real life should always take precidence over the internet or some site...bittorrent or not. I wouldnt mind being apart of TTC. But ill also survive without it. There is only one thing in this life that i need...and thats the other 3 people that are in the picture with me...MY FAMILY. I put nothing above them...never have and never will. Basically what im saying is that if i become part of ttc it will be because i deserve to be there. If not then it will be because i dont deserve to be. But at the end of the day no matter what the outcome is i still have what i need...and thats my family. So no...i really wont be stressing over this.Quote:

Bringing hdbits's thread to ttc? That could bring some life to ttc's discussion board :yup:
My intuition suggests this thread is not about getting you or anyone else to determine if TTC is right for you, but rather for TTC to throw out a net and see what bounces back. If you can see the difference you'll understand why your question will likely go unansweredQuote:

I didn't know about TTC before reading this thread.. Is this bad bad??Quote:

Content wise, i guess the biggest advantages of private sites are quality, speed and the ability to make requests when you need something you can't find or want to get something fast (talking about trackers here, and yeah this may not apply to all of them). Private DLL boards also have better retention.Quote:

sorry if I confused you there, I was talking about big private and small private trackers :) public trackers are not a subject here obviously :)Quote:

Loads of BS and ass kissing.. if TCC offers nothing then why would anybody contribute? pls quit this rubbish and talk with sense, I've been torrenting for years now and I was a stupid collector for some time so dont give me this BSQuote:

For what you've just posted, the only person this applies to Is yourself...no one else In the is thread.Quote:

Arse Kissing...Well she don't know It, yet but she will one day
I only blame myself for trying to use logic with a cunt, the first post suggests they have nothing to offer...
You are not guaranteed any tangible rewards for simple association, if that's what you're asking. There is no gift basket for gaining entry; members make what they will of the opportunity and therein lies the 'reward'.Quote:

I've been involved in the file sharing community since '06. I love to write guides and scripts. It's kind of my thing. I'm sure there will at least be one member that will recognize this handle. I know a couple admins of notable sites and have helped people out with their sites and or seedboxes in the past.
If you want a member who posts, writes guides, and more or less knows what he's talking about when it comes to p2p and ddl I'd be willing to offer my services.
Thanks
It amuses me that you think someone that thinks of FST as a "blight" on file sharing thinks they'd be given access to a subsection of FST.
I don't wanna discuss my personal issues in this thread...Quote:
