Hey guys!
I've searched the net and this forum for some info about the site however most of the info is outdated. I tried to search for the IRC but I've tried to connect without any success.
So anyone out there that has some information they could share? For example IRC information?
All info/help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Are you a member? If not, why would you need their IRC info? :unsure: (Unless they have an invite channel or something, of course)
If I recall correctly, there's an email application you can send in if you're serious about joining. However they expect you to already be a seasoned magician, and they accept nothing less. If you're simply interested in getting into magic, BitMe has some good learning resources.
I am not a member no, I am interested because I would like to have a talk with them because I ama seasoned illusionist and I've performed at parties etc.
Thing is I used to be a member of another magic tracker that took all our donation money and closed. So I tried to find another tracker and I fell into the traps of another tracker that took 50€ to join and there was nothing in there..
I've emailed them, they have a mail info on the frontpage. I sent them a mail telling them about my ddiffernet trackers to show am a good sharer and some info about my self. However I have not recieved any kind of reply. Most of the magic @ bitme I've contributed to, so bitme is out of the question =)
Anyways, if someone have any info, please do contact me via a pm, or here does not really matter.
Thanks once again for taking time to read this.
[email protected]
email there and state that you want to take the interview to join. It's like filling out a resume of magic
Be honest in the interview. I was given a membership, and I am just a hobbiest magician. So you don't have to be some pro magician, just honest and open about why you think you would be a good member there.
Good luck!
Here is what I wrote, with some editing not to show some personal info etc:
Hello there!
I am a magic enthusiastic person with a great passion for magic. I've known about AoM for a couple of years now but never tried to join until now when i really would like to join! =) I have approx 200gb of magic on my hdd but always trying to complete my collections and a few bougth DVDs
I have several trackers with good ratio, amongst other is trackername with 1.2tb upload of pure magic. Also staff at xxxx. I have a few TB's upload buffert in some other trackers.
I have a 100/100 seedbox and a 24/3 @ home. Been private torrenting for 10 years or so. am 2x years old. a year or so ago i was a member of stupidtracker and top donator, until one day without warning the site closed and our money disappeared.
Anyways, please do mail me with info what is needed to be done to be part of your community.
Thanks
Myname
I have no idea if the site was still active or if they did read the email so I thought I'd ask here to be sure.
Once again, thanks for those of you that replied.
O_o
The protocol has only been around for (correct me if I'm wrong) 9 years, with the oldest trackers being 7-8 years old. You could not have been private torrenting for 10 years. Either way, I'm sure the rest of your sincerity in that e-mail will pay off.
Mate, with this kind of application you won't get anywhere.Quote:

And my opinion about things AoM staff would like to read is more about your magician skill/passion not some other trackers...
Edit: hunter of rings was bit faster... :P
Yep, their staff don't care about other torrent sites, profiles, or seedboxes. They want magicians, not collectors.
I've been approx for 10 years, I don't feel like I have to give them exact date =) Ofcourse they want real magicians and not collectors, however it it's always nice to actually have people who can seed after them. What I noticed during my time on another magic tracker was that alot of the people where not seeding very well.
Sure that is the trackers fault for not setting rules etc, but atleast I show them that I do behave and am not there to just H&R.
Define phrase "people who can seed".Quote:

I'm referring to people that actually take the time to see that a torrent has enough users seeding it after they downloaded it. At that particular tracker I talked about with the bad seeders, alot of the people downloaded and just cut of the download a while after, instead of trying to seed as long as they couldQuote:

Speed is not really something important when it comes to magic torrents as we're not really dependent on pretimes etc.
I guess Surrounds right. Ppl invited there because they are magician could mean they do HnR, not because they are bad ppl but they may not know some basic things about torrenting like FST ppl may know.
i'm pretty sure the seedbox card has already been played more than once.
try again.
Oh so because it has been played, it means that people that actually uses seedbox, should nto say it because it have been played buy lying people?Quote:

But he said "10 years or so" :shifty:Quote:

I think any magic site basically wants somebody that has a lot of knowledge and material they can share in a digital context. So if you have a lot of books that can be scanned, DVDs and other stuff start cataloging them now cause that's what they want to see. They don't leeechers but people that can contribute back. People that provide their own content to a site never have to worry about their ratio
Agreed, that's truely how it should be. I am not 100% sure how AoM works, but some magic communities pay a bit each and buy the new dvd that came out and so on.. That's the thing i love about magic community, it's that people really try to help eachother out.
Group buys, sounds like TV. :yup:
It does, doesn't it :) Oh well. I'll have to sit back and wait I guess.
I've read that mail, you posted, Surround and I'm not impressed. The fact that I know nothing about magic should tell you something about how the staff there felt when they read it.
PS: You could have easily impressed me with a few fancy magic words as I really don't know anything about magic. I suggest you play that card next time (if you really are a magician :P)

Perhaps I should've rephrased and told them about my passion and not so much about my seedbox and speed. Well, I'll learn from my mistake and perhaps in the future I'll send them another email and perhaps a video of me performing. Thanks again everyone for the time you put to answer me.
The initial email means nothing. You could write that your interested in magic and heard about this site and would like to apply, that's it. The actual form you have to fill out is all that matters
how is their interview ?Quote:
