    i wouldnt do anything to get those but at the same time its nice to be on smaller sites that are more community based so thats why im trying to be on all of those although i think im done since i only need uk-t and ftwr and im not gonna ever get in those. imo its pointless to go after those unless you actually do like reading and posting in forums since thats mainly what they have going for them over other trackers.

    If you look on the bright side of this, at least the ratings causes the users of those sites to be somewhat more thankful for what they have and it usually reflects accordingly on forums, irc, and seeding. Most of the time anyways.

    Nowadays, there are more trackers than there are members, so if your tracker misbehaves, they get bookmark removed, or worse, URL deleted.

    From the perspective of a site administrator, I see the whole picture when looking at a highly placed tracker.

    The whole irony of the situation is that there are those who desperately try to acquire their favourite tracker, yet once they claim that reward, browse once or twice, never to return.

    There are some members here who have acquired one of the high level trackers, only for their account to stagnate.

    On saying that, there are three distinct levels of membership at any tracker.

    1) Lurker or Inactive. Members who may browse from time to time, download the odd torrent or make the odd post. They never inhabit IRC, and may actually allow their account to decay.

    2) Active Lurker. These people tend to make an initial welcome post, but their main interest is the browse page, where they download torrents, sometimes leaving comments for the uploader.

    3) Community Member. As well as browsing the torrent page, they are active either in the forums or IRC (or both). These members actively contribute to the community spirit of the site, and may end up being nominated for staff positions because of their commitment to the forums and IRC.

    The majority of members of most communities fall into the second category. The next majority falls into the first category, while a minority of members falls into the last category. Of 3,000 members, if 100 are active forum whores, then we are talking of less than 10% active members.

    Of course, we must remember that a tracker is primarily a file sharing site, so we expect the majority to be in the second category, in this is where we get our peer base from.

    With that in mind, I am sure that other admin/sysops of the top trackers will confirm that my findings are correct, and that even though a tracker is rare, it's active members (Community Members) are a small percentage of the overall membership, with the majority of members being active lurkers.

    Ironic then that so many people desire these top trackers, yet when they finally get them, they treat them like every other tracker they have. It is only when they lose one of these trackers that they realise what they have lost.

    Complacency is such a lovely thing, isn't it...

    Well stated and a good analysis of the general tracker user distribution. It seems like there must always be a healthy balance between groups 2 and 3, as too many users in a forum will dilute quality of posts while too many active lurkers will completely eradicate any sense of community. While I suppose there are people who wouldn't mind the latter, I think it's wise to treat your core forum base with great respect even if they don't necessarily have the same stats as the torrent lurker base.
    Ask me about my self-esteem!
