some stats on waffles vs oink (what inc.)
I see a problem here.
Before Oink was shut down we had 189,034 users and 204,000 torrents= 1.08 torrents per user. Essentially if one user seeded just ONE torrent with a few seeding two torrents at anytime (assuming all the torrents were different), there would be no dead torrents. Ofc with 1 seed you have no idea what kinda speed you would expect. Realistically the average torrenter might have had 5 torrents seeding from oink at any given time given time. Assuming normal distribution, the average torrent at oink would have 5 seeders. With a large userbase such as this it would be easy to prevent an excess of dead torrents.
Now lets look at waffles.
Registered users31,467 Total Torrents126,502
so the AVERAGE USER needs to seed 4 torrents assuming none of them are the same torrents being seeded by someone else. We all know that most don't leave their comps running their torrent client 24/7. I start wondering what if its a certain 1000 users that have 500 torrents seeding 24/7 or something because there is a great number of seeds at waffles. The next thought is how unstable this could be if something bad happened to this small niche of users.
Therefore I request that if there are any waffles staff are in here, they raise the user limit.
I know this argument isn't always valid. There more users@ what and about the same number of torrents but so many are poorly seeded. I hypothesize this is because many members at what have an acc at waffles and most originally prefered waffles for the design/features/layout/etc, and now prefer it simply because that where all the seeds are at.

OiNK > Waffles > What
but they don't care about what you think, they won't do jack
Re: some stats on waffles vs oink (what inc.)
well, I expect that too. I would like to just state that I wish they increase the user limit. IMO, it would be more "lively"
Re: some stats on waffles vs oink (what inc.)
zaa,
There are more factors in deciding what the user limit is other than the amount of torrents seeder per user. The idea that waffles was based on was to create a community where each person shared as much as they could and seeded as much as they could - and in this respect they succeeded. However you have already stated the key question: will raising the user limit achieve a more stable user base?
It in this respect that formulas don't apply. Most users on waffles were once on OiNK and are well equipped to rip music, myself included. Waffles has taken extra care to ensure that quality rippers and seeders do so. The fact that each user (on average) has over four torrents seeded is phenomenal. And unlike the current situation at what.cd, albeit sometimes slow, a Waffles torrent nearly always has a seed.

I think you are wrong in that I am sure they do care about the users, since its the memebers that make a site succeed.
As for Zaa730 question the reason they might not do jack is because they have a total overview of the sites and its different stats which is something that you don't have.
But suggestions given to a site have never hurt anyone, but they probably should be made in there forums for a higher chance of success. ;)

I agree... I just think that some Sysops don't give a rat's ass about anyone's opinion except their admins and moderators....

Not posted on here they don't, posted in the right place and open for discussion amongst its own members they might.

I thought you were through with making bad threads...

Didn't manage to get in on waffles (or whatcd for that matter) but oink was pretty tremendous
