through the course of almost 4 consecutive years of torrenting and designing for several torrent trackers such as SceneReactor, ScL, OiNK, ScT and FSC, i have rightfully networked (e.g. making e-friends and designing shit for free) my way into memberships of my interest without trading, attracting attention by whoring mass invites, or begging random users for invites behind closed doors

oh absolutely; i did not join this forum to flaunt my memberships like a wad of small bills with a bigger bill on the outside, but as i said earlier as a source of entertainment, social commentary, and occasionally some consulting and an extra invite behind-the-scenes for qualified members/friends who just happened to be members here

currently, i suppose; i can only really think of less than 5 of such members off the top of my head, there used to be a lot more, and with the community rep title long abbolished, it seems there are less and less of those types of members here as time goes on and/or maybe the senior posters are just getting bored

No need to explain your situation th0r , I wasn't talking about you, I know you aren't one of those :)

Or maybe the new members had to learn the hard way to separate their FST live from their private-tracker-life. Not everybody uses the same username in both 'worlds' ;)
Anyway ... the more people use BT, the more newbs join here and some of them (or should I say a lot) ruine it for the rest and give FST such a bad rep.
I guess the senior posters already evolved in a way that they are fed up with the behaviour of the 'juniors'.
Re: What Really Grinds My Gears: AntiTraders
i do not claim to be a senior poster nor am i a senior member of this forum, but i do consider myself a senior resident of the BitTorrent business (right rachael? stupid whore lol)
in all honesty, nowadays i am really sick of everything that is BitTorrent: the lawsuits, the barter races, the level pyramid, invites, seeding, posting in the forums, keeping memberships alive . . . i am a member of 3 or 4 top-tier trackers and i am recently finding myself trying to make time to even access those accounts just so that they do not die
what is happening to me?

I think it's called burnout - happens in almost every aspect of life when you put too much effort into any one thing...most torrenters with more than a handful of accounts get that feeling no doubt!

don't think it is anything to do with the number of accounts as that is quiet easily managed, it is time spent running a site checking places like here to find traders etc that are breaking sites rules.
I know how much it can cost in real life, in my case it resulted in divorce, not so bad the divorce to be fair but worse bit is not seeing the kids anywhere near as much as I would like.
