Does FTN have an invite system that's working? As in, the site isn't totally full, and invites will still work if you're given one?
I'm just asking this because I prefer getting an invite to an elite site over account trading (partly because it's really hard convincing someone to give up their account, and it's waaay too risky to get disabled at these sites)
invites there goese through mods, so new member even if he get invited, he is watched ect...
and yes it's a good option.
sweet. now to score an invite.
trading for ftn invites is like impossible here. is there any other reasonable way to get an invite? like, going to their irc channel and making friends?
ftn has a user limit of 5000. so even with an invite, it can be hard to get in
damn. how many users are there now?
oh btw, hundredth post :naughty:
It shouldnt be too hard with an invite. Number of registered users is nowhere near the limit.Quote:

How can you find out their IRC channel when you can't even find their URL :P
well i do know their url. i just don't know their channel/server (i only have ONE friend who's into private tracker torrenting, and he's sworn his allegiance to sct)
The best way to get FTN would probably be, getting to know a member.
Also more secure that way.
Maybe then the staff might consider not banning you!
I hope that i can find the invite.
Good Luck :DQuote:

You have to be a member to get into the IRC, so that's not an option. And for someone to get an invite, you must have been be a member for at least 8 weeks, have uploaded at least 200GB and have a ratio at or above 1.5. I meet all the requirements but I've had my invite privileges removed. :P
Staff at FTN are among the nicest and most capable I know. Haven't noticed a single member getting warned or banned capriciously. In the past, they have even given confirmed invite traders second chances.
You might get an invite if you happen to be around when kimii pops up here in giving mood.
lol yeah the staff is awesome. kimii gave me an invite after i guessed a random number from 1-10 correctly :). ftn is amazing..all that stuff about it being overrated is completely false. the free leech is such a cool system. i've gotten i think near 2.5 to 3 gigs up in like 4 days, which is decent (although ive heard that much is unprecedented in places like sct where you're competing with seedboxes)
tintin's right, invites are given out to powerusers (8 weeks, 200+ gigs uploaded). i *think* you have to request each invite, instead of automatically receiving them.
they're pretty hardcore about trading though, and since it's such a small community it's kind of nice to keep it personal by only inviting your friends. just as a tip though, it seems that a lot of power users on other sites such as bit-hdtv, etc are also ftn users, so a bit of networking on those irc channels and making the right friends might take you a long way :).
also, i realize that this is my thread, but i figured others were posting on it suddenly because it was yielding results. so even if i was satisfied, others may want tips/advice too.
I really want to get into FTN, I've talked to 2 or 3 members but none of them have even hit the 200gb upload mark.
If there was only a way to show a mod at FTN that I have upped 200gb+ on 7 different trackers....:D
lol, yeah, dont think that would help much... hehe :)
Just saying I'm a very good torrenter is all :)
thats what makes the community so special
its small unique and hard to get into
much better for me than sct
