BT politics general thread. Oh, the drama

[Cabalo]

Like you said, it depends on how you define "old school". When I say old school I mean those that have the true spirit of filesharing. Being in "leet" sites has nothing to do with it. Although the people who have this spirit do end up in some of the "leet" communities a lot of the time, I dont define them by where they are.

Are you aware that you are an exception to the rule then?

[Pwner101]

And check your facts, Google and a couple more site stats analysers show an increase on hits on this forum of over 15% since August. And a steady climb on the overall rank of big boards.
There are single threads alone who have far more hits than any other filesharing forum on the internet, all threads summed.

So, once again, people are very misinformed. Not saying you had to know this, there's no reason to, but just telling you can't assume what you hear from other kids to be factual. They're just that, IRC kids.

I never said that the number of hits is going down. Or the number of members. I said that a lot of the old school bit torrenters have been leaving gradually for some time now. Maybe because they cant take negativity like you said, maybe because they are just sick of it.

Edit: cinephilia. You may be right and i am just misinterpreting the rule

another edit I know I said I was leaving this thread before. I meant I was done arguing over this BS. That is why I am responding to this comment. Because I dont mind civilized conversation, im just done feeding the trolls.

You never said that the number of hits was going down...
However for a while it was/has been.
It actually has gone down and up quite a bit over the last year.
(Never really increasing.)

P.S. These stats are taken from an internal tracking script within the source code of this very site. Not from google estimates. I took the liberty of rounding them off for better estimating uses.

Like I care.

Again this can be taken is a blanket statement

Being old school means you've been through more than one filesharing protocol, btw. And it also means that you're Martin which isn't good.

its kindergarten!! (German == win)

And I dont diss on fst. If I hated this place so much do you think I would still have an account here. Im sorry I dont enjoy flaming like you kids. If I hated this place i would just go away. I gotta say I can see why more and more of the respected bit members that arent 13 are leaving. It seems like everyday the number of little trolls increases.

No, what you are seeing leaving this place is weak people who can't deal with negative comments or discussions, and who prefer to put lube on their lips. There are plenty of those, and that's why, just like in human history, some prevail, others follow.

how about people that are just tired of arguing with others who seem to not want to understand like albo?

I dont define them by where they are.

I may be misunderstanding you (slightly buzzed at the moment), but yeah I realize a lot of people dont think of "old school" members the same way I do. I base the term on mentality, not where they are or even how long they have been file sharing.

I apologize if I am totally misunderstanding you.

[Cabalo]

@ vinceftw: You're saying he is a troll?
How would you classify posts like this?

And what about people who ignore those who come here to show their real childish behaviour?

There's room for everybody, even for you.

@that1guy: you got me right.

The overly sensitive people have been leaving, which is a good thing IMO.

Some people leave out of boredom. I mean, why stay when you're at the end of the line? Not everyone has a reasonable answer to that question.

Im assuming you are talking to me right? (you seem to have gotten a kick out of my "big shot" comment). I am not staff at ftn if that is what you are thinking. And I dont have any invites :/. If you werent thinking that, then I have absolutely no clue what you are trying to get across.

And I am not old enough for a mid life crisis. . .
