my point wasn't every good user should get an invite, although i suppose it came that way. I was rather trying to compare invite policy now w/ what it was 2 years ago.

i invited someone there, he donated and got an invite i think (can't say for sure). that was well a longg time ago.

nothing, if they would bother hading out invites to non-donors too.

I'm pretty sure that they do, they just give them to donors first. I admit that they're treading a line, but they haven't crossed it yet. Given how solid they are, I'd be extremely surprised if they did. Comparing these guys to ScT is ridiculous, I think anyone who had both can testify to the glaring differences in personalities between the two. If anything, it gives them an opportunity to weed out douchebags, making room for some better users

I read someplace that that a human is an immortal alien spirit that is trapped on Earth in a physical body.
I also read that Scarlett Johansson had anal sex with Benico Del Toro in an elevator.
Guess which one the three I find the most interesting and believable?

From the news announcement:

B has gone ahead and given everyone who has donated at least 10eu an invite and in some cases more than one. Staff will continue to evaluate
donor perks and give out invites, but those found abusing the privilege will be dealt with accordingly. As for the paranoia of the yelling poster,
donations are currently 19% ahead of costs so I don't think Brandon is buying a Lexus this month.

Believable? IdolEyes787, get it right up you. :P

Interesting? Ok, the Scarlett Johansson had anal sex with Benico Del Toro one is a win for you. :lol:

Funny thing is, some tens of thousands of people every year believe that "I read someplace that that a human is an immortal alien spirit that is trapped on Earth in a physical body" and are exploited by it everyday in order to milk the maximum amount of money out of them to fund a "religion".

It's called Scientology.

Ftn did it to there selves by making their site so hard to get invites on, while having similar sites as GFT who have less strict invite rules.

There has only been one legitimate request so far on this forum, and all the guy is getting is referrals to GFT.
Mean while there are over 10 trades going on for an ftn invite.

Is trading really that much of an issue in FTN? I can see it accounting for a fair bit of new sign-ups, but most members are stingy with invites anyway, I couldn't expect a trader to last in there long with the huge deal of activity he must be displaying.

Traders a big deal?

I can't tell you the direct impact as I'm not a member there...
But how can you expect members that break the rules the second they join to be good members (trading invites).

There are 10 trading threads for 1 request thread on this site. That is a major problem for a large site like ftn.
And then on top of that, the one request thread is being referred to Gft lol... This is a problem...

Reputable members on this website should be offered an invite, just on the basis that the majority of invites being used belong to traders currently.
