I can't understand that thing... why the rush to get too much accounts ?
Just to make a GA ? or to collect more and more accounts...
Any other opinions ? :whistling

Bigger e-p*nis!
^ true :)
Yeah to increase your e-penis :P
Also, some people just do it for the giveaways so they get Rep here. And some people do it to trade accounts/invites.
It's all useless in my opinion xD
heh dude i know you and you also have quite a great number of accounts so why don't you tell us ?
Actually, i had.
Now i have few, and use less. u "know" me... yeah right.
Because people seek better content and communities. Besides, most trackers aren't that great or it just doesn't fit right.
It has nothing to do with ego or epenis for many of us. I'm simply willing to check out a tracker if it sounds like I might like it. You have to join to see if you will, so you wind up with a bunch of accounts over time, including more that you use every day and those that you don't really use at all.
Great. now back to the topic.
A lil something fro u :

You are being inocent dunson...
The most of us, as you said want a collection, simple as that.
Some great users just want that tracker (can be 2 or 3, but not >15 trackers :dry:), the one they like, the one they feel that the up is deserved... And users like that, we can't see a lot of them now.
It seems to me that most(not all) people here are pretty knowledgeable about the relative merits of different trackers so I not sure your argument entirely holds water.
If you've been on a tracker long enough to be sure that it's not right for you then you should request to have your account removed to free up space for other people.
It the proper thing to do unless, like TitusBlade pointed out ,you are only using them for trading or to get rep points with.(I don't mean you dunson.I know that you don't operate like that) .
nice try
I think what our man dunson was spitting out is that it is a trial and error procedure. You don't know the interior of a tracker from some review/level bloatage. You need to jump over the wall to check it out for yourself.
But then, like Idol said, you should (if you're a responsible person) delete the accounts at the communities you idle and generally ignore.
It's also an addiction, plain and simple. A psychosomatic condition, known as "Trackerfrenzy". To feed it, wubs sign up on as many "private" trackers as they can. When they hit 50 trackers, it's celebration time! :lol:
I don't think in the recent times (even though many traders or whatever you call them are still getting into everywhere (ScT/FTN even, etc) following the "GA" and "Trade" line is so popular anymore. Now it's either multiple account @ FST paradiso, (whereby each suits it's purpose: 1 for trading everything, 1 for making GA's and collect repopoints, and 1 for Anti-Trader lobbying and general pseudo-intellectual "I Have Depth" postings) or simply a "change of your past" move, whereby members that previously had 10,000 bt rep and made an average of 40 GA's a week, hide their bt rep and become "STOP MAKING GA's YOU F"=)# NO0BZ". Oh, and they also visit other areas of the forum to try to appear not completely BitTorrentInviteSectionAddicted. :D
Thats not the type I was talking about, but rather the type that when you ask them what trackers do they like or are part of and they spit out a list of 30+ Trackers xD
Like last week or so, some random person probably from FST adds me on MSN and says hi, and then starts telling me about the trackers he has :P
why not, if it serves a purpose . anyway i dont believe in keeping 10 0-day accounts .
i use 4 trackers...max in my eyes u should have 4-6 but thats just my opinion. [:
Any staff reply ?
Just make it simple. See why ppl keep gathering accounts? Because they haven't got them yet, period.
the more you have, the more you can find.
Its also human nature to want more. Greed plays some role as well.
may be because they fear getting banned..so that there is always a source left
It's a combination of curiosity and internet stature with the "community" word thrown in between. Fairly easy to get fooled by all the garbage floating around in FST.
One day you are told about something wonderful called "torrent". You get in The Pirate Bay, then you know something called BitSoup exists... you get in and you think you are in paradise, but wait... there is a site... RevTT that people says itīs even better, then youīd like to be at TL because if BS and RevTT are good, how would it be TL?... and there was some site that only has games... other with old movies... and so on.
Itīs a human thing to want the best, we all want that, nothing to say against that.
But people should know when they are done and then give others the chance to use what they donīt... and Iīm not meaning giving accounts, just leaving the unused space.
Everything else is greediness.
once you get all trackers..you are no longer a noob.
you are a veteran now :S
He means once you have all the sought out private trackers you have a larger e-penis, meaning now it can be handjobbed by more of the "veteranos" faffing about this community bragging about their wares.
All this level-shit is making a lot of people lose their minds and they keep chasing their so-called 'dreams' because they think they will be succesfull in life when joining a high level tracker.
Big mistake!
Bullshit right back at you.
I have probably 30 trackers and just now had to sign up at another one, in Russian even, just to get a CD that I already own but is scratched beyond recognition. I even went as far as trying to find it in crappy mp3 quality but ended up finding a good lossless rip at that Russian site.
And I have E, Pedros, Waffles, What, TT, TR, 0-Day trackers, General trackers etc.
I could not find the CD, or if I could it wasn't seeded in any quality anywhere, public or private. I came across that site using Google "Artist"+"Album"+Torrent and had to sign up to be able to download it.
Same thing 3-4 weeks ago for just one single trance mix. Also that time every single one of the usual private sites failed me.
Also I try and find movies I want in good quality using 0-day sites, general sites, Demonoid and other less private sites and public sites.
If you just want 0-day and other popular stuff then a few trackers are fine. But if you, like me, like to collect music and movies, old and new, popular and unpopular, then 30 trackers sometimes isn't enough.
And just for the record. For my use these incredible 0-day trackers, that everyone wants, are often completely useless. When I search for a movie I look for it at sites like SITR, PISexy, TL etc. before checking the likes of ScT, FTN which only have scene releases, and often in crap 700MB quality (movies) or crap V2 mp3 (music).
I am not saying 0-day is bad, but when looking for quality, most of the time, it is.
What, lol? ScT, FTN only have scene releases and often in crap 700MB quality?
Are you even a member there?
FTN has the best (in terms of rare items, and i mean R A R E) DVDR packs, and ScT has more DVDR packs (some with awesome and others with less awesome movies) than you need or can grab.
Please, don't make me laugh. PiSexy? Long gone are the days when PiSexy was rolling at high-speed in the rarity/good-speeds-for-you meter.
Did my writing imply I wasn't a member there?
And speed means absolutely nothing to me as long as I get what I want. Like I said, these sites are great if you are into the newest and most popular movies only. When you want that mediocre low budget film from 1997 suddenly those sites don't mean as much.
I like higher quality XviD or x264 DVDRips as a DVDs and my Bandwidth don't get along too well (I mean upspeed i.e. keeping ratio) and I don't care about that free leech rule as I want to give back as well as take.
When you collect movies and FLAC music, hard drives fill up fast so DVD is only for absolute Gems or things I can't get elsewhere, and I have found lots of things over time at PISexy and SITR that were not to be found on ScT or FTN, not even on DVD. I can get 2-3 XviD/x264 DVDrips on a DVD but only 1 DVD format.
You want some examples to try and search.. just of the top of my head?
A Scanner Darkly
The Big Hit
Office Space
Super Troopers

Never understood the need to collect movies.It's not like you're going to keep watching them over and over.
It's an obsession. Some I do watch over and over again, others I never seem to get around to watching. Pretty much, when I want to watch a movie I have kinda like my own little, or not so little, video rental store. If I want to watch something old I have it, if I want to watch something new I have it. something I have never seen or something I have seen once or twice. Options options ;)
