Does BCG use invites?
Nope, the invite system was closed down a long time ago, but it was supposed to be online by now as the referal system, but there's been problems...

The referal system is like invites but with benefits to both, the inviter and invited ;)
Like if you invite someone, and he gets promoted to Power User, you get upload credit and that sort of stuff...
that sounds like an awesome ideaQuote:

It's simply the best game tracker there is, and I'm very proud/lucky to be a member there.
well if you are the same XxRavenxX that I remember, then they can keep you.Quote:

you have had over 1 month to generate your keyword, there have been announcements, forum posts, news items, about it, and people still complain.

@Stoi: You have taken a great initiative by making this thread. So i had to post a feedback :)
And all the shit you are getting about banning users for not generating a keyword is unwarranted if you ask me. I generated it the very first time i got a system pm with the link on how to generate it. I promptly followed the instructions and saved the keyword on my hdd in a safe place for future reference. It took me like 5 mins to do it...
So i ask this... Is it really that hard to follow a simple instruction. No it is not. End of discussion!
so surely, stopping a negative effect, which is basically banning your ass, is a positive effect in the long run.Quote:

The points you get aren't a 'reward', they are to prevent you falling into bad standing. There is no positive effect of getting them; only prevention of a negative one.
As for ScT - I'm not a member there, and you mention PACKS being 120 hours, well how large are packs normally? I got one from SCC, a couple of series of a show - it weighed in at 22GB. Since you were comparing packs to Blackcats releases in terms of seeding time requirements, by the Blackcats rules you'd have to seed that for 292 hours. 120 hours isn't so much given the size.
and the reason its set up the way it is, is pretty easy to understand but a pain to write down lol but i will try my best.
lets take a 7 gig PC game. lets say its not new, but 6 months old, there is 5 seeders on it and 0 leechers.
a leecher jumps on, so you do not get SP after your 72 hours of seeding, as its under the 20:1 ratio. so if those 5 seeders are limiting their BW to 1KBs each, giving the leecher 5 KBs its going to take him a week to finish it, and the seeders will have to keep seeding it.
if on the other hand, all those seeders are giving it their all, and each upload 2 gig (I know that doesnt fit a 7 gig game but lets not nit pick).
the cost would be
72 hours + 70 hours - 20 hours (your 2 gig upload) = 122 hours
and that 2 gig upload you could do in a couple of hours of seeding.
and if you do get your SP to get you to a 1 ratio, anything you upload on top of that to leechers, is a bonus.
honestly i see people downloading old games, uploading 0 through lack of leechers, getting SP to stop the hit and run and getting the 1 ratio on it, keeping the files, as soon as a leech jumps on, getting back on it and uploading to the leech, that way you only really need to upload .5 of the size of the torrent to get PU, or 1,05 to get SPU and that to me is a community member, not someone that downloads something, seeds for 24-72 hours, gives up, deletes files and forgets all about that torrent.
so basically anyone on the site can get to SPU, it just takes patience and being a good member to do so, which is basically what we want after all, not a bunch of hit and runners, and members that seed 1000 torrents or limit their upload to 1KBs.
so after all that, the faster you upload to any leechers that are on your torrents, the better it is for both parties, and if there are no leechers at all, you still get rewarded for seeding them.
I just cant see how that is unfair or negative in any way shape or form, and on other trackers, that have got a 72hr waiting rule, I dont think you get the difference added to your upload stat for that torent, you just do not get flaged with a hit and run, at least on BCG you get a bonus to your ratio as well.
Black Cats have some very sexy staffers. I get a semi just reading some of stoi's posts.
i stick to tti
OK curiosity killed the cat time here.Quote:

I'm a member at TTi. And I think it's a great tracker all around tracker with a lot of positive things going for it. But do you honestly think it's better for games than BCG?Quote:

NP mate
that skin is the default though for this tracker software we are using, just not a lot of the well known trackers use it.
Blackcats is just great I have to say!
The main reason I think it's great is I have the ps2 and the wii chipped for the kids and I'm in the process of grabbin a card for the NDS and the content on BCG is just far superior to ANYWHERE else and that's a fact.
The seed point bonus is another great feature, though having said that I could survive without it no problem and I'd expect most other dedicated torrenter's to do the same, though it's very generous of the staff to have it so hat's off to them.
Also like many other trackers they have some down to earth decent staff.
^^ Not talkin about you stoi, you up your own arse :D j/k
bcg is one of the best tracker for games...maybe the best one...
got acc there ..use it quite often for ps2,and pc...
they got very big(huge) game collection !!!that gives them number 1 ... and the speeds aren't so bad...
I think someone in here said we should have an arcade.
well we have and its working
but its only got the default games atm, i have got 700+ on my PC but i am getting capped atm so cant upload them, i will later on and try to get them installed.
the arcade is on the forum btw not the tracker.
do you guys have cod4 servers? =)Quote:

We do not have anything like what your asking.
well i don't have bcg so i wouldn't knowQuote:

Hey guys,
First post here, glad to have finally met the real people behind blackcats! Seriously, the site has a godly reputation in my friends circle (figures, none of us are in!) but it was nice to see that it is after all run by humans, with feelings and sound rationale, and not a dictatorship, which is a truly viable option, given the site's incredible status and content.
The thread topic says it all...the admins at blackcats really do go out of their way to help their members, so it is reasonable to expect at least complete compliance with their rules in return, which I believe are extremely fair, especially the seed points system. That really is an idea ahead of its time. Others need to catch up!
I have a question though regarding the hit-and-run system. Say I download a 360 game and after its finished, I need to close everything down on my computer (, utorrent, firewall, antivirus, every funny thing in task manager) to burn it without hiccups. As soon as the burn is complete, I start seeding. I guess people with 2 or more PCs won't face this problem, but my actions would still count as hit-and-run. Perhaps a small 'grace' period of say an hour or so might be given to people to start seeding after finishing the download? Or am I missing something blatantly obvious? I am not a member so I can't say for sure!
Keep up the great work Stoi. Hoping to become a member soon... but I am basically a foot-soldier in the torrent ranks, blackcats seems way out of reach as of now, but dreams don't hurt anyone as long as you can keep your perspective and wits about yourself ;)
Funny thing is, i do not think we are anything special, we have oepened up that often in the past im surprised there are still people out there that have never been a member.
And have you not heard, PCs can multitask you know, ok still not as good as the Amiga back in the day, but you dont have to stop seeding or any of that other stuff to burn, christ i have run Folding at home with 100% CPU going while i was burning with no problems.
But if you have to stop seeding, then yes its a hit and run, but start it again, and its not a hit and run anymore, and we have 2 types of hit and run.
Seeding hit and run, this just basically tells you if you stop the torrent (has to be under a .8 ratio) then it will be flagged as a hit and run.
Hit and Run, which is when you stop the torrent when it is under a .8 ratio.
but we dont ban on 1 or 2 hit and runs, or demote for that matter, you have to do a few hit and runs before there is any repurcussions to your account.
Hey Stoi,
Glad to have finally met you! Thanks for the response. And trust me, there's a whole new generation of (relatively!) young torrenters like me who have grown up on the plentiful myths and legends on blackcats! I guess we were a bit too young/ignorant and so missed the early days of open signups.
You'll be surprised if you dig a little on Google, blackcats has a near-cult status, no exaggerations. So, forgive my fawning when I first stumbled upon this forum and saw this thread...as if God was asking the people if He is doing okay?! I just thought, wow, that's a level of concern I had never expected nor experienced anywhere else.
I guess its time for me to get a new computer then, this current rig can't even handle open Word documents as it shamelessly starts kicking the buffer-underrun bucket...and the cost of beautiful Verbatim dl coasters...its not a rosy picture.
But yes, I completely agree with your hit-and-run policy in that case, it could not be any fairer.
And this world is a big place, and I understand that blackcats will never have enough spots for every deserving person. Hey, that's life, we need to make the most of whatever we get :) and stop complaining for a change!
Good luck for everything,
......
BCG is a great site, everything is good except design - it should be changed to more awesome!
that's all man, that's all. good luck with that and thanks for really good site.
you best back up off my manQuote:
