How you got started with invites
I was just curious to know how you got started?
Here goes my story, i started of by getting Demonoid as i was hoping to find Seasons 1-6 of the TV show Oz, as it was not anywhere at a decent speed on any other tracker i searched (this was 3-4 years ago), i then heard of this site called BitMeTv which i was told had it but was a private torrent site. I then started researching these private torrent sites and got intrigued and wanted to know more.
After about 8 months of searching for BitMeTv i was ready to give up, so i went on one of the forums i was a regular at and asked for an invite (this was against the rules and i knew that), my plan was to hopefully have someone view it before it got deleted and then offer me an invite, unfortunately this was not the case.
Anyway my thread was deleted and i PM'd the mod to apologize and told him how i had been searching for months etc, etc, and he gave me some email and told me to tell the person that he said to give me an invite, and sure enough 5 mins later i had one sitting in my inbox.
Once i became a member of BitMeTv i went to the forums (invite section) where i obtained a Oink, TL, and BitMe, invite.
From there i heard about FST and have been a active member here for about 2 years giving away invites of my own. It took me 2 years to finally get onto scene torrent which i did 4 weeks ago, believe it or not my next hardest invite to obtain was PWT which i searched for for about 6 months.
How long have you waited? What is your torrent journey? What do you still want to obtain?
For me i only want FTN, and a SCT invite for a close friend.
Re: How you got started with invites
Well i started by getting an invite to TL by a close friend, i wasn't looking for a specific thing, i just joined and wanted to leech everything, the BT idea since that time was new to me, and i wasn't expect that time i could have a full movies or games using the internet, i was depending on the dirct links/FTP links, which always sucks and very rare to find, i was very grateful to my friend, and think i own the world by getting that great fast tracker, then from the TL forums i noticed these's more and more sites, also i gain more friends @ TL + my old kind friend, then i was able to join TD, then Demonoid, then FL, then RevTT, ... etc, the strange thig is that none on my invites i gain by asking for them or beg for them, i mostly been offered by others kind friends to join, then later on i get SCC, then i heard about FST, so i came and joned, then it was my first time to know about something called trackers rarety levels, and invites/accounts trading, but i just relized it's a pathetic thing to follow, so i decide to stay here, gain more information and friends which is the real thing to gain, finally after joining FST, i found my self having lvl 10 tracker, which was really excited and cool.
Now i am hanging around, sharing my knowledge, hoping to have more and more valuable friends, and if i get interest in any tracker no matter what lvl is it, sure i would ask for an invite to it, like what i did to TT and FSC +FTN.
Re: How you got started with invites
I had demonoid for years and never really used it. Then recently I was researching something which I cannot think of right now, and I came across the site FTN. I was intrigued and I began a few months ago to search for it. I joined TI, I guess a competitor to FST, and got invites to TL, Bitmetv, Oink, RevTT, TvT, Blackcats, TD, HDbits, bit-hdtv, VIPmusic, TDC, RSR and a few others there over the past couple months. I have been giving invites on that site for a while now, and working my way up towards that FTN invite. I just joined FST like a month ago, but chose not to give invites away here because there is simply way too much trading going on on this site.
Re: How you got started with invites
The first tracker I had was TB, about 2 and a half years ago, which was followed closely by FL and TL. But it was TB that I mostly used. While at TB I heard mention of an invite-only tracker called UK-T. I asked around on the forums and some kind soul handed me an invite. But due to some database crash around the summer of that year you were asked to recover your passwords, but for some reason it wasnt working. But I didnt bother because back then UK-T wasn't that great and from what I've read it still isn't. Anyways, that was the first time i dealt with invites.
However, from then until this spring I never really bothered much with invites. I have been giving away alot of invites on private trackers. But I've never really sought any invites yet. Except nowadays I'm thinking of getting into ScT and/or FTN but I'm not like a lot of the people here who think they cant live without it. Some of the requests I've read are just ridiculously funny:
"I reeally need ScT and FTN!!! GIVE ME!!" wtf?!! LOL!!
So anyway thats my story.

Re: How you got started with invites
My first private tracker back then was Demonoid, I think. Or maybe it was the old TiT, it's been some time and I don't remember that anymore. A couple of months later I started with invites but never enough to be worth mentioning. I always had the content of a tracker already so there was little need to gain an invite to something so similar - in all my time of using the BitTorrent network I've only ever asked for invites/trackers I've really needed.
Sorry, no big invite success story from me ;)
Re: How you got started with invites
Started with TB two and half years ago. After that a lot other sites and now I have all I need :happy:
