You do know with that type of statement that you are re-enforcing all the negative things people are saying.:ermm:
I will perform dental work on you Brits for an invite.
FST is great for my self esteem.

*Sigh* It will be sorely missed. It had truly become one of my favorite trackers. And to think it had survived for so long...
Please enlighten me as to what you will be sorely missing?Quote:

As far as the site coming back, it's almost certainly not coming back.
You just need to get used to that kind of post here. :yup:Quote:

Very much missed, have to make do with substandard ones now:(
Moderated? Seriously? When one of the Users itself clarified what happened to the tracker still it stretches to 12 Pages and you say my post should be moderated? I dont care who you are but this is a bloddy public forum .. There is no invite required for this and other crap that Users like you propogate .. So kindly take that High Handed shit elsewhere where they give a crap !!!.. Dont dictate what should/nt be done hereQuote:

Too bad you have to be a member for 30 days (or something?) before you can pm. I doubt you would remember me anyway :( I guess there was a good reason for shutting down the site, and I hope all the staff (and everyone else) will be ok :)Quote:

Appreciation of a tracker is a very personal thing. It's not because you are searching some things in particular in a tracker (like those packs you mention), that others are looking for the same thing.Quote:

The problem lies within the fact the perseption of people outside of UK-T is entirely different than the perseption people within UK-T (except for the level-hunters off course).
I notice a lot of people that are stranded because they never cared for any other tracker or were in no way affected by any kind of 'tracker-hype' that has been the result of their selected recruitment.
That hype was created by the people willing ot get in, not by the actual members.
its not high handed shit and you are in the minority, people do give a shit..Quote:

it was respect for other users and cyber hardmen were not tolerated.
qft. I dislike that point of view, when tracker is proclaimed 'overrated' simply because some idiots spend months or years searching, and then it just looks 'not worthy', no one asked them to.Quote:

What people here miss is the ability to talk openly & freely about anything & everything without havning to deal with Trolls, people with over inflated egos, there were no 'self important'people, all members were equal, all would help their fellow members in any & every way thay they could.
It had a feeling of family, true friendships were made over time & anybody who was welcomed into the membership instantly felt as is they could also post freely without being jumped on, mocked, abused.
You see, nowadays most forums thrive on their trolls, thanks to having great staffing & a great membership trolling & other such time wasting abuse had been eradicated a long long time ago.
Perhaps this is why some people posting in this thread are finding it hard to deal with the more acidic tongued posters.
For a majority of the membership the forums came first & foremost.
Until you have been a member of such a site where respect is shown, knowledge is shared & you knew as much about your fellow members as you did your own RL family members... well until you have experienced such a community it would indeed be hard to understand the grief that a majority feel, the feeling of weirdness when we see out & out trolling going on, when we see people posting here who have no clue as to what was behind the closed doors, who are posting speculative comments about a very close knit community of friends that they have no idea about & getting it oh so wrong....
Well, I am trying to keep it short as usual but alas how can somebody try to explain fully without having their words read out of context.. well you end up having to write slightly more than the other person right?
End of the day, the site is missed by all that were members, those who have no clue (& boy are there a good number posting in this thread) just make us feel homesick for the place we called home, the place that was void of all this trash talking, mean spirited claptrap being grabbed out of thin air.
I miss the site as much as those here who are posting here that were true members.
There are a few people posting in this thread that within the first 5 words prove themselves to be 'wannabe ex-members'...
I suppose that just shows how great the site was, even when gone people still fabricate about having been a member.
<3 moi... };-)>
We will find a place to have our movie discussion club, our fun games and other items that made us such a unique community...
Exactly the same thing, that happen, on Fl recently. Amazing members.Quote:

My point is that if indeed it was a good community and u made friends n all then cant that community survive without the tracker ... Does End of a tracker mean End of the community? If No then stop this BS which has stretched 26 pages .. I mean there were other trackers as well that have closed which operated within the same time frame .. Threads dealing with those were not even 4 pages long ...
Anyways my question is
Does End of a tracker mean End of the community associated with it?
Does mean for one and doesn't for another one. If some place was one-stop point of particular community for years, any attempt to recover it at different place after dismiss will trow out part of members. And probably these guys are rather contributing, but will skip it.Quote:

The way things were done, yes... to a degree. There was a sense of anonymity, however a deep feeling of loyalty that brought people together there. For most, it wasn't just a tracker, but a place to commune (like many other forums about). If you were to close any forum down that had members lasting 4yrs or so, there definitely is a big void left. There will always be something else to give the time to, but doesn't mean its the same or that it will capture the atmosphere of a golden time passed.
lol you are joking right?I mean you don't really mean to say that you are inviting them on another tracker based on nickname and avatar recognition,are you?lmfao :lol:Quote:

I mean lets be honest here.
That's like the 10th time i've seen a contradictory statement from him and others.Are you guys even in touch?Quote:

there are definitely some real members in this thread whose avatars i recognize. i was a lurker mostly though, but a lurker who can prove he was a member all the same. anyone who was a member there should be able to prove that they were one way or another.
we just have to wait and see what really is going on, or find out what happened at the very least.
checkin this thread daily...
I'd advise you all not to take much of what is posted seriously. squizzle is the only one i've seen posting that can actually say anything with any certainty.
So Wheelmods Is gone for good, Pity... It's sad to see any tracker go down, but that Is the way with things.
Nothong lasts forever.
I can see the point of It being a great community, coming together talking, making new friends.
Over a long period people get accustomed to things of It's like, but change happens. But as fast as Wheelmods went down It would have put my head Into a spin, known It was the only tracker I'd ever been on.
But as I already said, before It got edited...If most of the exwheelies didn't have the foresight to look beyond Wheelmods, then that's your problem.
Just a query tho: Of all the exwheelies who signed up for FST In the last few days, why didn't you look or signup for a few other trackers at least, I see the point of community, coming together.
Or Is It just the case no one foreseen this coming.
There Is umpteen trackers out there for exwheelies, some with a couple of torrents others with hundreds of thousands. The BitTorrent Sites Open for Signup thread, It's what that's there for.
Yep....knowing what happened would be a start.
I can only think of 3 reasons to close a successful site;
1) It was forcibly shut down by an agency
2) It became too dangerous to leave it open (security compromised)
3) It wasn't funding itself anymore
The first is scary, the second is hopefully temporary and the third is fixable too.
I can see some opinions are "stop crying....move on....it's only a tracker".
You will never see an opinion like that from anyone who was actually a member and you'll never fully appreciate why unless you were a member.
One small example....how many trackers have you ever seen where there was permanent free leech and the ratio system was practically gone because the userbase was just that good at sharing ?
If you could describe your torrenting utopia....without even knowing you would be describing uk-t.
Consider that you had to be a member to be able to recognise the usernames and avatars of the displaced members in the first place.Quote:

If its just about a forum and community then y cant anyone just create a god damn forum and give access to all the emo community members .. this way the community that you guys have been used to for 4 fucking glorious years will be saved rite?Quote:

If it annoys you so much you could just ignore this thread right? As this is where most ex-wheelies posts are confined or would that be far too easy?
Gutted that its gone as i had been a member for over 4 years and was the first torrent place i used.
:o :o :oQuote:

Oh so now its ok for UK-T members to gather here and talk about the tracker since its dead .. No need for secrecy now brothers ... What happened to all the bullshit like "Please dont talk about this tracker in public forums" ?Quote:

But all the exwheelies are mainly confined to this thread, but like said: If it annoys you so much then just ignore this thread.
The site was taken down without prior warning. Info could be obtained at the IRC channel in the few days after it. You could be invited to another sought after place by showing up in the channel. The channel info was publicised. The channel was taken down. Some people at the site didn't use IRC but were active forumers (I can relate to that, btw).Quote:

You make out the rest. It is actually as simple as that. :yup:
Well, this is an incredibly sad day for me. Just stumbled on this thread, tough to realize that UKT is gone for good.
I joined up back when EliteTorrents went down, private invite from the castaway forums they had on PornBits for the months after the raid. Never really had a need for any other tracker once I was in. Had a few RL friends who begged me to get them invites for years, sad to see that, right after we were given them, the site went down.
If anyone knows of a place where ex-wheelers are gathering, please let me know. I can validate my membership via PayPal receipts... bought too damn many Christmas raffle tickets, still couldn't win anything. :(
And to any staffers who might be reading - thanks for everything! Especially for putting up with my weekly requests of obscure soundtracks.
