So where does my life go from here?

well what can i say. i f'ed up. i just lost my what.cd account of 2 years, and it was my life. i cant tell you how many endless hours i spent reading album reviews, scouring the collages and forums for that perfect track. i boasted to all my music loving friends about my enormous collection and how i could get anything in just a few clicks. i bought albums just upload them for the request bounties. ahh...those dreamy nights, me and what laying there together, tired from running through the fields all day together.

But the love affiar ended as all good things do. i got greedy and tried to trade invites for an invite to bitme and got caught.i came back to my computer to find my account logged out and the big red letters directing me to the irc. i joined and tried to be as honest with them as i could. i told them exactly what i did and where and why. but they said they dont trust me anymore and showed me the door. now im just sitting here dumbstruck as to what just happened. to be perfectly honest i didnt realize it was so frowned upon but ignorance isnt an excuse.

so now what. i feel so naked and empty, like my girlfriend just dumped me. has anyone had any experiences with the staff there? do they ever forgive and forget? or should we start seeing other people.

Hahahahahahahahah.

i'm really really sorry for you,this is a bad day...

yeah it is. i had to get high after that irc conversation ended. i felt like i lost a family member. so is that basically it though? im done there? like you cant go back in a year or so and try and get an account again?

i wish i was a What.cd staff and change this fuckin situation,but damn on you trading is bad you know that...

/me hoping for a What.cd sweetheart staff to help you.

A 3 years account here and a 2 year account in What, and you claimed not to know that trading your invite will result in this. Fantastic.

i was a member of oink way back in the day and it seemed to be more accepted like 3 or 4 years ago. i never saw any big rules back then about sharing invites. im not saying i didnt know it was wrong but i didnt think it was that big of a deal to get a banning. im not making excuses either way. i made a mistake and paid the consequences. it just sucks cause that place was paradise for me.

Get a real life, it's just a tracker ... :rolleyes:

well what can i say. i f'ed up. i just lost my girlfriend of 2 years, and she was my life. i cant tell you how many endless hours we spent walking in the park, scouring the shops and malls for that perfect baby crib. i boasted to all my sex crazed friends about her enormous boobs and how i could get laid in just a few ticks.

ahh...those dreamy nights, me and her laying there together, tired from running through the fields all day together.

But the love affiar ended as all good things do. i got greedy and tried to shag her sister for the lulz and got caught.i came back to our apartment to find myself locked out and the big red letters directing me to her friends house. i went and tried to be as honest with them as i could. i told them exactly what i did and where and why. but they said they dont trust me anymore and showed me the door. now im just sitting here dumbstruck as to what just happened. to be perfectly honest i didnt realize that fucking sisters was so frowned upon but ignorance isnt an excuse.

so now what. i feel so naked and empty, like my girlfriend just dumped me. has anyone had any experiences with womens? do they ever forgive and forget? or should we start seeing other people.

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...

If I were you though i'd make a TV worthy misery video of myself and post it on youtube before making this thread,that way it would be easier for the holier than thous to ignore all else and maybe have fun for once.Trust me,at the very least its therapeutic,plus it may lead to good things depending on how miserable you'll appear on the video ;).

You can read some books (Bitme), it seems that you love that.
As Disme said, you lose a tracker ...i hope it's not really all your life !

the sad part is i never got the bitme invite. haha

Love the retelling, Squizzle!

OP, you seem like a good guy who enjoyed the site. Looks like your account here is from 2006 and you have only made 39 posts. Wow! I don't know how often you stopped by, but from what I've heard, things were different when you started here.

Anyway, so you know...trading is BAD. Hopefully, it can be worked out. Sorry I'm not in a position to help.

Good luck!

Hmm seems like you got addicted to what.cd ,spending countless hours reading their forums,torrenting etc. I feel for you coz you dont seem like the typical trader who would trade just for the fun of it plus you wouldn't really be attached to the site if you were one.

Apart from spending all that time in the forums if only you had read the rules a couple of times seriously then you may have avoided this serious error ?
Frankly,I may have given you a second chance looking at your contribution to the site if i was a staffer coz you seem genuine in your effort to redeem yourself but I'm not one and I dont get to make that call.

Don't lose heart, try getting into waffles and I'm sure some of that emptiness you feel would go away,great site that. Goodluck:)

i had just bought 10 albums i was going to upload for requests this weekend. lol oh well

yeah i get it. i realize trading is very bad now. ill figure something out.

There's still Waffles, Demonoid(when it comes back), Torrents.ru, plus countless warez forums/blogs and Soulseek. So don't kill yourself just yet. What is great, but they're not the only game in town. So get over it...

And you're right, Oink did allow the trading of their invites(even mentioned this in their Faq). But you should have known that What is dead-set against that type of behavior. You should have read their rules first.

you didn't realised it was bad for ethical reasons but because you have to face some embarassing consequences.

Just change your IP and get a new invite, what.cd is the easiest 'popular' tracker to get an invite to...
Also how did they find out? Most likely the guy you were trading w/ was staff or they ratted you out. (A bitme invite is worth 3x a what.cd invite)

you are kidding right?

its just a tracker. you can always find another replacement.

you can still live w/o it..its not food or air.

Going through life not realizing the difference between right and wrong is far worse than losing a tracker.
And as to "worth", not if you like music:ermm:

this is great. you didn't care for your acc on one tracker, you are breaking the rules on second and trying to get back to the first one. how nice from you.

"thoughts" LOL
Yes, stealing music is far more pure and respectable than trading invites or getting another account for a bonehead ban. :frusty:

Get a new IP (usually just login to router, release IP lease and turn off router for a while (overnight or a day)) then use your knowledge to pass the interview pretending to be a new member.

I think the OP needs suicide watch.

This thread coupled with his rep point made me lol :P

If you were such an amazing member of the site and loved it so, you should've tried looking for an invite in their Invites forum or one of the invites threads for higher classes...

Alright, I'll type really slow so you can (hopefully) understand...

Trading got him in trouble in the first place. Circumventing site rules further will get him in... *looks around for someone who can answer* even more trouble. That's what he needs! Maybe he can get booted from some of the other sites he likes as well. Let's take a guy who has made an error in judgment and turn him into a social (BT) leper.

And if you are opposed to sharing files. Go away! Certainly don't sign up for a site called "FileSharingTalk" and...NVM.

Anyway, there are rules in this community, breaking them leads to troubles like the OP is facing.

It's not that serious. He was probably a great what member and will be even more so with his new account. I think he should circumvent the 1 account per lifetime rule and enjoy the site again. I doubt he'll trade ever again.

Where did u saw that ? Stock Market ?

Shitty situation, you ended up, but theres always hope... just start all over again.... Goodluck.

Right now, he has just made an error in judgment. Some people here (possibly myself included) would consider helping him in the future if he made a [Req], if he deliberately circumvents site rules again, he's out in the cold for many, many of us who could potentially help.

He should make further, respectable attempts to regain that original account. He may be able to find someone there (eventually) willing to overlook his boneheaded move. He will NEVER find sympathy there if he circumvents (tries) the rules again. AND his new account will always have the possibility of being discovered and banned.

No good will come of this. If he was such a long-time good user, he should have some friends there.

Exactly, thats why the need to trade, seams to be stupid.

Your premise on the last point is flawed. A lot of good members don't interact much with the community. Not everyone is slapping the admins in the irc channel. What is a huge community so I'm not surprised he was not a real standout figure or one who had tons of friends.

The fact that the community is so large is exactly why making further attempts of grovelling in #support will likely be ineffective. I'd bet the admins get 1000s of stories and think most of them are b.s.

If he does it quietly, nobody will know he circumvented the rules.

My point in this thread is basically that, assuming this guy was the user he claims and did what he did to the letter, he deserves a second chance. If the what staff is not going to do that, he should take matters into his own hands (just like he justified copyright infringement to get the files off bt in the first place).

rofl.. nice one squiz :lol:
@OP: too bad ya decided to fuck things up which were going smooth.
anyway..whatman frequents these parts pretty often.
I will look forward to his response to this thread.;)

Uhm, there are other trackers and other methods of filesharing. Try them out.

Also what ca_ok said, how did you miss the recruitment threads?

He certainly cannot plead ignorance if he gets caught again. As I mentioned, I cannot argue any benefits from further breaking the rules of the site he has expressed his enjoyment in being a member of.

As for flying "under the radar" or "quietly", this is a fairly public place. Perhaps the equivalent of robbing a doughnut shop in front of a police station. His chances of getting caught (not that he should even try it, IMO) have GREATLY increased.

I will give you the possibility that he may be unknown, or a non-poster. His history here coincides with that possibility. However, IF his story is entirely true, he spends A LOT of time in the forums, reading about a topic he is very interested in. His post in this thread does not strike me as someone who cannot express himself. He actually came across as somewhat sincere or I would not bother with this thread.

As for abandoning the rules of this community because many of us ignore copyright laws, is in itself flawed. Personally, I enjoy this community and wish to remain a long-time member of it. I have no such allegiance to the mentioned industries. In fact, in terms of the uninhibited flow of information that we all enjoy here, I see them as hostile combatants who wish to dismember the internet for their own self-interests. I do not see this community as such. If I wanted (yuck) to be part of that slimy, filth ridden community of whores (apologies to any of the literal and, IMO, far more respectable professional sex workers reading this) and extortionists, I would probably align my loyalties in their direction. *pukes at the thought*

@OP: so does this means that the user http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/members/-221525 has scammed you? did he ever deliver you the bitme invite? if he didn't, quickly report him to the staff here so he can get a nice warm ban.

Ya I agree hes a dumbass for trading... but you called me out so simply trying to help the guy.
Opposed to sharing files? I never said that, but since you think sharing is OK and trading invites is "BAD"... I sense arguing w/ you is moot.

I also tried to trade one of my what.cd invites. They didn't ban me when I told them about it, but they permanently disabled my invite privileges...
OP, you seem like a good guy who made a mistake. I hope WhatMan will re-enable you after reading this thread. Good luck!
Invites were never your property; they were what.cd's property and therefore, you were not allowed to trade invites. I have made the same mistake in the past because I didn't realize that important fact at that time.

I find your post history (of trading) and the above post rather curious.

Not sure if you read my further thoughts on this page, but they address my loyalties. I respect the community and especially those who take the time, effort, and money to create and maintain a tracker. I also appreciate those who donate their time to moderating.

Yes, I find sharing similar to borrowing a book from a library (that I would not buy otherwise, or could read in many stores- also for free while having a cup of cocoa) and disrespecting the individuals who have asked for some simple rules to be followed for their efforts.

How long would you put up with someone disrespecting you in your own house? How is telling someone that it is OK to disrespect the site "helping"?
