S*C is now pay to invite

rotfl

trying to catch up with ScT? XD

its a good idea as long as they dont turn in to sct!

its time for this tracker to be in a good level .because it deserve.

I think "Anonymous on peer list + your ip will not be recorded + Hide profile" is much worse. This means they will record IPs and probably downloads of all regular users. You have to pay for something a good tracker should offer for all users by default.

people actually like this piece of shit tracker?

Fortunately I don't think Staff will be too bothered about the opinions of Invite Traders here, after all it was users here that were selling their invites in the first place trying to make money out of a site they (probably) got invited to for free.

A tracker has to pay its costs somehow.

At the end of the day a private tracker is called 'private' for a reason. The owners/staff can do whatever they want. The majority of the userbase have not paid to be there, the site is run by people giving up their own free time so that the masses can enjoy leeching their TV shows / Games / Films.

If a bit more money in a tracker's accounts makes it one of the fastest trackers around desired by most veteran bittorrent users then I really don't think they're going to care much about the opinion of people here moaning, specially considering half the people moaning probably don't even have an account there.

Actually I think that trackers selling invites reduces the profit margin potential because you have to buy the invite then try to find a sucker who is willing to pay your marked up price.

This thread is just old. SCC is SCC and if you have problems with it, you don't have to use it. It's as simple as that.
