//solved, had trouble loggin before.
because they closed their registration since ages, u cannot force a tracker to open for new member because u wanted too, that`s way you will never join bcg mate, simple as it is.......
I know that,
and I know that there is lot of other trackers that do it also.
I just have now a chance to hear and get an answer directly from the owner of that kind of sites.
why they closed their registrations without even give a chance for new member to ask an invite from them ? like an test period for new members that we will prove our will.
mano
We open up, we get 10,000 new members a week, problem is, thats a lot of dupe accounts and cheaters that get in. so a hell of a lot of work for the staff, and only admin and above can disable, mods cant, so thats what 4 staff to go through all of those dimwits.
Our referal system should be on soon though, so you may very well get a chance to get in.
No comment.
I logged in last week, grabbed two torrents the week before, been seeding four torrents, one since April, another since June ... and today I find I've been locked out.
I don't get it. Is that any way to treat people?
well it is if you do not read announcements and forum threads and everything else we have done to tell you what was going to happen.
It's your site, you can do what you want, no question, no arguments, but you've got to wonder why 9000 people didn't take the hint. I've been logging in regularly and it wasn't obvious to me.
Worst case scenario, last two torrents I grabbed was 10th September, verifiable, were the big red letters up then? Did I miss it on 10th September?
The rules were you had to log in at least every sixty days so were the big red letters up for sixty days?
I mean, it's only fair that everyone should abide by the rules.
I really don't get how I missed the announcement, but I did, I've been away for much of the last two months so not paying much attention to this place or (any) forum ... maybe that's it?
Anyway, looks like I'll have to get my FIFA09 off tl. :(
2 announcements have been sent, if you did not generate your keyword you would have acctually been disabled on the 15th of September but we let everyone back for another chance. and 2 mass pms to those that didnt every day till we disabled everyone.
about 4 forum threads in Global Announcements about it, 2-3 news items on the home page.
its basically been all over the bloody site for the best part of 2 months.
if we keep taking it off and letting members have a chance, we might as well scrap the idea entirely, everyone got told, everyone had the chance to read the news items and the forum posts, mass Pms, and the announcements, if you did not, then sorry, thats not really our fault is it.
if you did generate your keyword, then jjust input recover in the fake page, if you did not then your account is history im afraid, its not even disabled its deleted.
but our referal system will be on soon, next couple of days i hope, so you may get lucky and get back in.
Oh, I'm deleted then. Too bad. No, I won't get back in, I don't know anyone and yes you are right, I AM really stupid.
I wasn't a big user but I always made sure I kept a good ratio and I never hit and ran ...
I'm history then. All the best, it's a great site but it's back to TPB for me. :(
its my favourite torrent site for games:beer:, but "some" users seem to have no time for reading (...uhhh...what is sp?, how do i log in on the new fake?, are there invites, etc...) and thats a shame, coz i dont think they download games and dont have the time playing them...:whistling
...not my problem one might think, but at the moment i just cant get any sp on a torrent because one of these stressed users didnt download the full torrent, and seems to be seeding 24/7, but with a partial download only as a leecher...:slap:
...to solve this, uploaders should have the option to, in very special cases (rompacks, accidentally uploaded unnessesary files in the torrent or something:wacko:), write a hint for downloaders that pops up when they want to leech
just a suggestion - any other ideas solving the "no time for reading" problem would be nice:w00t:
try ur luck with the referal system...till then yes it is TPB for u
and don't bother trying to get in thru stoi as it won't help (which i bet u already figured by now)
terrible move to ban so many good members . :sick::sick::sick:
Maybe ex-staff can start another better Games tracker ?
If you were a good member you would have noticed all the warnings about this.
if your disabled then you obviously are not a good member.
bye.
and hmm no staff have left, because hmm, they can actually fucking read.
and if you want to go to a site thats run by X-BCG staff, then here you go
http://thesharingzone.net/
if any staff from there do not want this link, just PM me and i will remove.
not a clue im not a member.
just another shit site.
@ webber
you said you wanted a site started by X BCG staff so i gave you one.
there is
torrent-lab as well
and probably a couple more out there that i do not know about lol
@ danio
cheers, i didnt take your thread as sarcasm at first, but get it now (well i got it yesterday but it took awhile lol)
I cannot get to the new site at all. generated my keyword as told but i just get a hostname not found. Please someone, what is the url now?
URL has never changed, well not yet anyway, to much to take in for most members lol
what i think of blackcats??? well when i was member there before they deleted my acc for nothing i respected and loved that site.I did activated the key too btw and they deleted my acc the same way.I always behaved well and kept a good ratio too.
You may think i didnt asked for help on irc? your wrong i did that and they sad that my email didnt exist neighter my ip neighter my nick...i even did a screenshot of my email and showed them a msg from the admin (blackcats) in my email acc..well still now dont know what the hell happened to my acc....
A if you did not activate your key you then your deleted.
B If you got banned just before the mass prune for the keyword, then your gone as well
C If you did do your keyword, and you did not get banned, your account will still be there just like the other 29,000 members that hmm did not get deleted for nothing.
In regards to content, I think it's in a league of its own. Particularly, in fact, when it comes to how quickly games become available, the sheer breadth of content, and how the community can deliver on the most particular of demands. It was when I was downloading a certain dual-layer Wii game that had been streamlined to be burnt on a single-layer burner that I realised how comprehensive the system is.
In terms of looks, I'm actually happy with the functional design. It will be a sad day when you go in only to see a smut of flash videos that would be completely unnecessary and ultimately slow the site down. BC is not a superstore, it's a library, and doesn't need flashy panels at the front door to lure people in.
My only concern would be the extent to which the site restrains its members. For legal reasons, I understand why certain things can't happen; but I think the onus is on the user to *commit* to the site, despite the fact that the need to visit it may not be so frequent as requested.
And the system can be quite ruthless. I had recently been burgled and had to move out of my home to elsewhere. Now I can't access the site at all, which is a real shame, obviously, as I love it so much!
Well we are getting further with the referral system (btw thats how you spell referral not referal like i keep doing doh).
Only staff have them atm, for testing purposes but you only get 1 hour from generating it to your referee activating it.
but we are getting there.
Awsome tracker about to get even better! :)
I love BCG... it was the first private tracker I joined. I have joined a fair few since, and I am yet to come across one as unique (ok... what.cd comes pretty close!). I think it's great that the staff are constantly coming up with new ideas and improvements.
If I have to be really picky... the site is a bit slow at times. And the pre times could be better (not the staffs fault I know), but tbh they are probably the two things that matter least with a tracker.
Well the slowness of the site is pissing me off a lot, but we have a new server coming, so 'hopefully' that will improve things.
as for pre times, we have never really been big on getting something first, leave that to those that are good at it, we prefer to be a library where you can get virtually anything you want, with hopefully pretty fast speeds on most things, does not matter how old they are on the site.
and hopefully we are going someway to getting that goal.
but like you said, not a lot we as staff can do about the pre-times, but uploaders usually get them faster then me now so that has to be a good thing lol
Yeah actually, thinking about it, I MUCH prefer content to speed. There's been a number of times when I've downloaded older games from the tracker, that are like 10+ years old. Trackers that concentrate on speed tend to lose torrents after about a month, because seeds just drop off them. So yeah... I think you do a good job in that sense.
Gaming wouldn't be the same without you guys around, that's for sure. :)
Cheers Stoi!
Oh, God, I'm back!
Thanks again!
I got ignored in the other thread and then it got closed...
I like BCG a lot. The amount of content is huge and things tend to stay seeded forever. I almost never have to go anywhere else to find any kind of game.
Unfortunately, I can no longer access the site due to a 403 error that I have no clue as to why I'm receiving it. I generated my keyword a long time ago and was prepared for the new site fake page. I moved from Japan about a month ago to Virginia, then again to Texas (I'm military), and suddenly the site has me forbidden. I can't connect to the IRC either. So what's the deal? I'm in a hotel right now since I haven't been assigned barracks yet, is it just this hotel that's banned or my whole IP range (I think it's roadrunner broadband) or what? If I could get some kind of help that would be great.
the 403 error is max login attempts, you get 6 then you IP gets banned.
is your name on BCG the same as here, i can look into it for you, but i may need the IP your on as well, so if you could PM me it on here, i will look into it.
but just if i do not do it straight away, its 1am here and bed soon, so if your not quick, it wont get done till tomorrow now.
Thanks a lot, I sent you a PM (I think, the only contact info I could find was 'send email, so I used that) with my IP and BCG login information. I'm not in any rush, I just wondered why I was getting the error. That's strange though, I haven't attempted any logins at all since moving.
Thanks again.
K its not us, its the PG blocklist we have on the site
PeerGuardian: Road Runner-Commercial
so its PG that is blocking that IP not us im afraid.
Stoi is it possible I have been banned for some crazy reason? I still cannot see the new site. I am getting address not found error all the time. Never been in trouble on the site and actually won the lottery a while ago :D.
This is definately my nick on the site.
D: So does that mean that as long as I'm using RR I'm gonna be unable to access the site? Crap. ;_; RR is the only provider around here. Maybe it's because it's the commercial and not residential or whatever they give to normal customers. Is there any way I can get my account parked so I don't have to worry about an inactivity deletion until I can figure this out?
@ pitzbul
your account is fine mate, it has to be your end. :(
@ rakichaneru
you get 2 months of not login in before your account get pruned. but you will need another IP im afraid.
