    @chinchillas:

    Unless I'm sarcastic or I'm playing sides, I normally won't make a point unless I believe it. I do believe 'iTS' is one of the elite trackers as it stands right now, and I don't mean that in a critical sense. Both you and me are active on an elite 0day tracker (the most elite one I know of that is still around). Anyways this doesn't even add anything to this discussion, I just didn't want you to get the wrong impression that I am using the word 'elite' in a negative connotation like Qlix seemed to use it.

    What are you applying for??
    I am guessing it's either 0day or movies? It's mentioned in the fine print, I think somewhere between the slot for your social security number and your mother's maiden name.

    Fact is I could list a couple dozen people who are traders that are on seven(or seventeen) sites but not one trader that is on only one. So iTS 1 Sense 0
    In the past iTS staff members have encouraged users to invite friends and family that use no other torrent sites; the rationale being that someone who has iTS as his only private site might actually download stuff, whereas the elites just want the account and have little intention of using it. Unless there has been a change in direction, I imagine you could get an application approved even if you said that you are not on any trackers (assuming that was true).

    The only thing that has changed is that in those days, IdolEyes used to have a brain and used it from time to time. Nowadays he just takes everything he reads at face value.

    “Innocence can be defamed and called stupidity. Honesty can be called gullibility. Candor becomes lack of common sense. Interest in your work can be called cowardice. Generosity can be called soft-headedness, and observe : the former is disturbing.”

    Btw I don't take "everything" I read at face value .I only wish that I could. Of course I could make the argument hat you are in return taking everything that I say at face value but that would be oblivious.

    Still stupid for the application to ask questions of liars and thieves and expect the truth though.

    I think I would ask something that didn't necessarily have a right or wrong answer or was totally based on appearances .At least then I could get some small measure of the person other than "I belong to such and such and therefore I am"

    Maybe an essay on Keats or something.I always liked Keats.

    well, there's a big difference between being elite and thinking you are elite.

    basically the same difference between french and americans
    whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.

    yea when applying for a passport.
    Thanks,Passport created!

    Ontopic - This is a ludicrous questionnaire. It did cross my mind once to join this site , but reading that put me off. Frankly,I would never relish membership of a site that is solely focussed on traders. Just my opinion though,no offence meant to anyone.

    I changed my mind .They should simply ask if you think that Barry Lyndon is a "great' film and disqualify anyone that answers yes.

    I would be equally supportive of making potential members beg for their membership publicly. I'd get a laugh, Qlix would get his account back, gods still get to play staff; win-win-win right?
