Except no ratio what are some cool features or ideas have you seen implemented on trackers?
For me it's probably the "clubs" on fsc. Haven't been able to experience it but being in say the fight club for example sounds really intriguing.

May be...
FSC(Games and clubs)+SCT(nice pretime)+GFT(no ratio, nice design)
Share Index and Seed Points(more sites need to implement systems like these). Or even bonus points.
we all know that fsc has the best ideas
^^)
Maybe Pretome and PTN for its gold points system and Blackjack!!And for being a ratio free tracker!!
glitterstep ..blackjack and gold /cash / points//are everywhere :).not the first and surely not the last .
ftn is a ratio free tracker too :/
FSC has always been implementing cool ideas..
watch out for more to come.. :D
OOps dint really know that.....Anyway,because of blackjack and poker im very acive on pretome..lol!!...Quote:

^^ now those two i've never heard of.how does that code thing work exactly coz it still sounds fakeable to me?
Not the first site to do that. The other site has never been mentioned on FST afaik so I won't spoil it for everyone, but yeah you had to be PU on a certain tracker and it involved some sort of code in the aforementioned tracker when making an app. ;)Quote:

+1 I agree with both of those. Both are great for people like me that have slow up speed but make up for it by seeding for a long time.Quote:

Also the entire Gazelle project. Everything's so organized and clean. :)Quote:

Definitely the share index system. imo it still pwns the typical "no ratio system" and I believe it was around before trackers started going "no ratio".
I agree with you. It keeps people seeding old files so they will not die.Quote:

SCT and as far as I remember SCC are the tops when it comes to this. TL will also get it, but later of course and it's rampant with noobs and ads.
I didn't think the clubs at FSC were anything great. They have a few club based uploads and a forum but it's nothing too interesting or active (last year at least, but then again, the whole place seemed kinda dead to me). The FunSpace was kinda lame too. I know there are a lot of fanboys here but I didn't see what the fuss was about at FSC. But I'm a dick so maybe that's my problem.

https://wigornot.com/f/ "The Site" is the other one that uses it. It's an ok under the radar forum-based tracker with a seemingly unique community. They ran a promo on what a while back.
The site must be one of the worst trackers I've ever visited. :dabs:Quote:

Can someone be so kind to explain the share index system to me?

The Share Index system is unique to FSC, and was designed to help those that find it hard to seed back enough to maintain a healthy ratio. For each 24 hours of connectivity, members earn a ratio 0.10 for each active torrent. That means that even if no one leeches from a seeder, within 10 days of sharing he will have a ratio of at least 1.0 on that torrent! This special ratio is called a Share Ratio, and is basically a bonus, added to the traditional up/down file ratio.
The Share Ratio is added to the member's file ratio to create a combined ratio, which is called a Share Index. The Share Index is the defacto measure of sharing on the site. If you are partially successful in seeding some data back, the Share Ratio for that torrent will help to boost the file ratio. All this goes into the Share Index.
Goem (free leech slot) and BCG (SP).
Gazelle for specialized trackers was(is) a fantastic project. Ftn's non ratio system was something new (although I'm not sure they were the first ones). I like Hdbits advanced search options. Sharing bonus systems are good as long as they are simple
Nope, they were not the first one to introduce it.Quote:

But i think you will find that most trackers prefer not to let just anyone view what they have, which is the reason, as far as i am aware, only this tracker actually does it.
and if you mean a guest account, like i have an account, that will be easy as well.
just create an account and tell ppl the user/pass, (keyword for us) stop them from downloading/uploading/posting etc etc, and just let them sign in with it.
Which tbh i have never even thought of before until now lol
And it may stop 1000s of members joining up and never using their account, if they can see what it is like first.
PS: In answer to the ops question, and everyone knows what i am going to say. SP mod with our Hit and Run system, to me we cant have one without the other.
I like to see a tracker where members can earn bonus from downloading and not just seeding. Combine that with some form of h&r rules; it can increase the trackers' activities.
As would I. This was actually brought up on another track. Hopefully the staff took notice and will implement such a system. This would be a fresh new way to promote more leeching.Quote:

some tracker give out karma/bonus for downloading (along with uploading and seedling) if that's what you mean :unsure:Quote:

A little offtopic but does anybody know what these sites are all about?

I have not come across one; can you name the tracker. if that is possible.Quote:

Never heard of perome. Must be another tracker I'm referring to. :P
