You take seriously the advice given to you by someone who writes "If you want from them reject your application yes put it". :unsure:
Btw and please fee free to correct me if I'm wrong, PTN is bt site dedicated to the sharing of movie files . Now far be it for me to question the doings of internet dweebs but I don't see how posting on any other sites has the tiniest connection to anything.:unsure:
Also if believed otherwise but as proven differently by most members of "serious bt communities" , most posts end up inconsequential wank that is neither interesting or even friendly anyway .
And what is the problem here?
If you don't know what it means then you probably are not active in other non-bittorent related communities anyways.
Just leave it blank. There's no harm in that.
No problem other than , if it is actually a problem, my simple questioning of something.:unsure:Quote:

Of course if you (they) wind up letting in a lot of eloquent people with little to no bt cache then colour me wrong and I apologize for suggesting otherwise.
I would argue that by leaving blank something that is (apparently) put there for a purpose you would potentially lessen your chance of success.:unsure:Quote:

Maybe it's one of those "have you ever traded an invite/used a ratio cheating program?" questions. :idunno:Quote:

@Idol
The only connection with PtN is that I'm a member there. Nothing more. So I can talk only from regular users point of view.
I think I should have been a little more precise.
What I meant was if you don't know what it means then you, probably, are not active in other non-bt related communities staff of PtN would know of. And therefore these named sites would be useless.
For example - I write in there that I'm active in this hi-teh audio forum in my country. I like to chit chat about newest audio equipment and stuff. How this will increase my chances of being accepted? I don't know, you tell me.
In my opinion, this is for those who are not members in any other private trackers or are in very few of them and staff can't make a decision wheter to accept his membership or not. And if applicant happens to be an active user in movie related forum, most likely he will be accepted.
It's not like I'm making these assumptions out of thin air, since I've been going through some applications myself and I never mentioned any other non-bt communities I'm part of. Allthought I'm active in some. Never had issues to get accepted and I'm not seedwhore on other trackers.
Ok, maybe you shouldn't leave it blank but you can make a note that you are not active on other non-bt related communities.
@GlazeKing - it's all about glaze. :naughty:
When I hear about people filling out applications to join private bt, I get a gross feeling inside. Sort of like someone sliced open my testicle sack while I was asleep and a cockroach snuck inside to lay its eggs next to my eggs then starts running around in my body. Does anyone else get that feeling?
I think that question is intended to see if you are actively involved in forums other than mindless suckup posting in invite forums. So stuff like Gamespot, Hydrogen Audio, Ultimate Guitar, there are endless possibilities. But I guess you could put down FST if that's where your online interest stops. I would include FST if your posting history shows you in a positive and helpful light, or at the very least an interesting personality
Speaking of which, I hate cnet hosted forums
Oddly ghey every one .Quote:

Edit2: The definition isn't for you MBM, I assume you would have gotten it... it's just that I realized I was in a thread where people fill out applications to get into private BT, and on top of that don't know how to answer the questions. This was a loud call that an explanation was direly needed.
If it's running freely, that's not a good sign. :noes:
On the idea of BT applications, I think you are on to something. Having to prove your worthiness to a tracker does essentially go against my general concept of filesharing being a type of library. However, I've only applied to 3 (been accepted at each of them :01: ) and those are the sites I find to be quite good.
Ideally, everyone would have access to all the info and entertainment they want without any politics, legal fears, or bullshit. It's about the media- sharing, discussing, and enjoying together.
^ Which begs the question, why would someone in their right mind apply to PTN in the first place? Exclusivity of nothing that isn't available elsewhere with more peers.
And you'll get a site full of people who for some reason enjoy this.
I once said sure, I'll fill out an application without pondering upon it. Then I started doing it, and the moment it felt tedious (wasn't fun), I thought why the fuck am I bothering with this. I mean I hate updating my CV, but when I do, it's for something pretty important. I just can't justify the effort. I'm only a member of one site now, and originally it was to contribute content, but after realizing one of the staff is an idiot I just started ignoring it. So I'm solely focused on newsgroups these days. I visit these threads to be reminded of why I jumped away from private bt so quickly. I also really miss Depths of Perversion.
That's a bit excessive if its the main factor for switching means. I mean most if not all trackers will let you mind your business and you don't really even have to read announcements, staff messages, or visit the forums ever. I have never run into a tracker that isn't happy if a member bookmarks the browse page and never visits another page.Quote:

Sounds like you could use a lube, macky. :ohmy:*
*This site needs to update its smilies...
Well that's what Nzbs are all about, which you are quote *solely focused on*. I don't even know what you're trying to say anymore, so nevermind.Quote:

Now I do post to usenet, but sometimes that feels like throwing bottled poems from a fishing boat 100 miles off the coast. I'm also a perfectionist, so getting feedback is also desirable.Quote:

On a personal note, I usually accept apps by FST members with some level of activity on this forum for reasons ranging from plain old forum activity to honesty/frankness of the applicant. I even overlook certain shortcomings within the applications and make exceptions for active members from this site.
Having said that, most of the PTN staff members are pretty active on this forum. Our staff doesn't consist of hypocrites, which is a USP considering the lack of genuine people/staffers on most sites who derive some sort of sadistic pleasure by bashing any/everything FST.
@Critics: Thanks for your continued support/feedback and criticism outside of PtN. Your views will definitely be taken into account and changes be made to the subsequent revisions of code.
Cheers.
Stay on topic, I don't think we're talking about PTN, whatever that isQuote:

Quit acting like self appointed pseudo moderator. Your post could have been used to bump that pointless thread about X264 and SD instead. :|Quote:

PTN FTW.
Just be honest in your interview, and show that you have a pulse. That's how I got in many a moon ago.
