No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
TorrentSeed is now about to close !!
Quote:
Once again it looks as if donations are going to be way short this month. Last month we were short and I had to pay from my own pocket the remaining costs which I don't mind doing now and again but the way I'm seeing things now is if people aren't willing to donate to help the site out then they wont be bothered if the site just disappeared.
I'm not going to have Torrentseed the type of site that annoys users looking for for donations month after month, I detest that sort of thing and even typing out announcement is making my gut wrench. We dont have annoying ads, servers donated to us from companies or sponsorship like some sites do, we're run off the kindness of the users here.
So this is not an ultimatum or threat but more of a reality and that is if we don't get donations covered then from start of June Torrentseed will be no more. Infact most of the torrents will stop being uploaded in the next week when we have to let our seedbox go and to be quite honest what's the point keeping the site running from then when most new releases aren't being uploaded to the site.
There is no fancy gimmicks this time of double upload credit or offers of free leech. Either you donate to see the site continue or else I'm sure you'll all find new homes eventually somewhere else to continue to download your torrents.

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
It`s like the firms nowadays. On the market stays the fittest and strongest ones. The situation is just the same with the trakers. There is a lack of money, this is obvious everywhere. So, we will see who are the best trackers in the near future that will stay :)

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
FSC is also begging for donations for first time ever !!!!!

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
That`s what i am talking about. The difference is that all are begging right now (even FtN) but just some of them stays :) only these that are really loved by the members :)

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
From what I saw FSC raked in months worth of cash from that announcement, so I don't think they're going anywhere soon.

First, fuck you, hornbery!
Second, FSC asked members to help secure the future of the site. We came up with enough to cover costs for a year. This took about 10 days.
FSC is a very well run, and supported private community. Cast your aspersions somewhere else, idiot. :dry:

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
The "term" is not important. The most important is that the tracker stays and is more stable than ever. I am not a member of TorrentSeed, but i doubt that will achieve the same results as FSC. This is what i am talking about :)

If you wanna see my e-peen, I'll whip it out on your forehead.

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
naaa it's just fun to see how you are an ass kisser on this forum, and then uploaded just 800 mo and poor activity (forum, comments) after 10 weeks on ftn for example. True Epeen.

And I wish that you weren't such an ungracious little girl .Hopefully at least one of us will get his/her wish.
Btw when I invited MBM to FTN the only condition I put on it was that he abide by the rules .He has so I don't have any problem with his activity or lack of it there.

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
megabyteme get in all sites because he writes posts longer than the bible.
then the right ass kiss, and he is now part of sites where he uploads 80mb per week, is around 10mb per day!! :D :D :D
very active :yup:
-
Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
haha Hombre very true story...is it pathetic?
-
Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
I'd comment further but it would obviously be like trying to reason with a dung beetle.
-
Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
i joined FST almost same time as he did, and i remember how he was. since he join those lleet sites, he become total different person, acting like veterans, what he is not.
veterans here in bt are ppl like puckface, cabalo, detale or artemis. those can talk with wisdom of years of experience, and not pretend.
10 mb per week. he is in for the community, ofc.
-
Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
yes ...wait... i think megabyteme is here, he is writing an another bible :D
-
Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
FSC- invited by staff nearly a year ago. Upload ~130GB. If memory serves, I have only mentioned my membership there 3 times including this pathetic thread.
FTN- invited by a good friend (Idol, since he has offered his identity here) after knowing each other for nearly a year- as it should be. He offered to get me in at Christmas, (un-giveaway) but I said I could wait since I did not have a "need" for the site. Idol received one ~10 weeks ago (thanks for looking that up) and I satisfied my curiosity.
Funny thing is, I have not made a request (excluding GFXNews- 0 e-peen value, am I right?) in over 9 months.
As for my frequency and length of posts...well, some of us can string together over 10 words without copy & pasting.
Again, fuck you, hornbery.
Anthrax, you don't merit the same, but you should know you are humping the wrong leg. :ermm:
-
Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
resorting to insults when u can not debate anything i said. i am right, u are an ass-kisser that now wants to play in same field as if he now is old veteran or widely respected/known as some ppl i mentioned.
u can try to be whatever u want, but u'll always be a boring long post writer, and a ass-kisser, in same style as central2rbay.

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
Once more in English, please. My arguments are just fine. Copy and paste them into Google Translate and then ask your mom what they mean.
BTW, your title has an entirely different meaning when one thinks of you as a cocksucker.

100% true. We all know it's all about how much you can upload. So everyone, go buy a seedbox and buffer up!! :lol:
MBM, you really don't need to resort to insults. Anyone with half a brain can tell who/what Hombre is.
/me waits to be called an asskisser...

I give each member the "respect" he/she/it deserves. So far, I've been MORE than polite to hornbery.

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
Never seen or heard of this site but I am sure it's members will have no problem finding another 0 day tracker. If it does close.

And you'll always be a trader that can't string more than a single sentence together without copying and pasting a blog article or review without even bothering to credit the source. What's your point? :frusty:

Anyway, back to the point at hand...
Staff on the site received donations enough to cover them to the end of July within half a day. Along with that, the promise of more to come if it was required of it's members...
TorrentSeed never advertises asking for for donations, sends PM's asking for money, or runs any ads on the site to help finance running costs. Soul funding for the site comes from what donations are given voluntarily and any shortfall is made up from Hockney's own pocket... there isn't even a Donate bar in plain sight unless you go looking for it.
The announcement, which incidentally is almost 3 weeks old now (do you EVER get anything up to date??), was put out to members to see how they felt about either keeping the site running, or letting it go so members could find other trackers to go to until it closed... as with FTN and FSC the community overwhelmingly wanted the tracker to stay open and through donations and PM, the future of the site was pretty much secured for the foreseeable future. Like 'sake' said earlier... money's tight everywhere, and far from having excess to throw around on donating to trackers, as we've seen on numerous occasion's recently, even the 'Big Boys' have struggled, people are keeping an eye on their finances... but the community pulled together when they knew there was a problem :)
I know Hockney has no problems running the site and tracker, he's run them for years, but like any normal person... you'd ask yourself if it was worth it if members seemingly weren't bothered... wouldn't you?

I don't think anyone would argue with you on that point... however, the members on the site overwhelmingly made sure that didn't happen...

Re: No donations? Prepare to go somewhere else!
Agreed. Unwarranted insinuations (read the thread title) have no more value than name-calling. However, a civil discussion was NOT the intent here. I gave him (?) the attention he (?) seems to have an insatiable desire for.

It certainly seems to be going that way... been heading that way for a while :lol:
Winding someone up and having a laugh is all well and good, but the threads are turning into full on flaming competitions half the time... which, admittedly, can be amusing at times, but will eventually become tedious :whistling

I prefer here over the lounge, it simply has more lolz and drama in the posts that are made. I myself rarely touch the lounge and stay mostly within this subforum (Almost entirely).

Who knows why it upsets them that people actually want to invite you to places. But I would just leave it alone and ignore them. No need to bring yourself down to their level.
