After that little diatribe I can only surmise that apparently "decency" has vastly different meanings to different people .Quote:

Just a word of advise, edit your post or you will get an infraction, i wont report it, but i called someone a prick and got an infraction, and yours is way worse than mine.
even though now its been quoted, so i think you are SOL :(
Especially considering it was the very next post after I made a comment about not insulting people.:slap:
Can't say it surprised me though.
Just a thought how about everyone showing each other as much respect as you show your precious trackers.
what is this thread about?
trackers shutting down afters tpb verdict? ukt? piss at small 'communities'? nipples? cakes? idol? eyes? :confused:
i think that swedish sites will be affected mainly coz of tpb trail .. :( swedvdr is going down too :(
It's amazing how twisted your pov on this matter is. You seem to have this idea that it is trackers who want exclusivity. You're wrong. Most sites would love to have a larger member-base. They opened up the site to help the community share files, ffs, what the hell do you think they're looking for. It is circumstances such as those that sprouted the creation of this thread that force them into putting limitations on the size of the member-base in place, to try to limit the exposure of the site. This is done in order to reduce the potential risk to the staff and members of the site, not in order to promote any sort of exclusivity. The latter is an unfortunate, yet unavoidable product of these circumstances, not a goal by itself.Quote:

Again, this is a mindset brought on by traders.... hence your reference to the word "TRADE" in the later part of your statement..... you seem to think that everyone trades and makes a sites value based on it...Quote:

I don't want to get into all the psychological nonsense that this involves, but a human's baser instincts force them to want to belong to something more.Quote:

Well you are wrong.. if you care to take the time to browse through this site you'll see the great opposition to the trading folks that disproves your assumption that everyone trades... And this further supports the notion that trackers do not promote elitism ... maybe exclusivity but, not elitism.. this is your mindset and therefore YOU and others like YOU place the wrong values into the equation.. Meaning only high strung users and traders pick and choose which trackers to dub elite, and others just pick it up from there.. other than that elite and trackers don't go together plain and simple!!
Gotta agree with that. Securitiy is where it's at. Not elitism (allthough there are some sad exceptions to this rule)Quote:
