The Pirate society?

When did it happen Jungleboy? You picked my curiosity...

And Pwner101, I'm sorry but since you don't cite any names, whether it's your so called site or the so called mod involved, your claims appear to be a little bit suspicious.

+ you're disabled here which makes you even less credible.

You don't know who pwner101 is? LOL he may be disabled here but he's a pretty well known name in the tracker + scene community.

I'm sorry but I'm not for the systematic bashing of certain sites, especially when this site was under bad management and had a complete change of it very recently.

I'd say give the new staff the benefit of the doubt and also a little more time before resuming the mindless lynching, but I know it's demanding a little bit too much of the casual BT user.

Pwner101 is the sysop of TopHos. He's been around, though he is our special little troublemaker.

I know TopHos, I didn't join, even during the long open signup, I remember they had this bling bling banner, it appears to be a pretty decent site from what I've seen.

I'm just curious to know what mod it was, so I could tell if it was indeed an old mod, or just a young forum mod, in any case he most likely isn't staffing anymore, and fortunately for everyone a mod doesn't represent a community, I've come across several mods on several trackers who were just the kind of persons I would never give any power to, under any circumstances...

Isn't Pwner101 also known as MelvinMeow? Or am I thinking of the wrong person?

[Cabalo]

yup, pwner101 is melvinmeow.

A nest of thieves evolving?

But... I thought TPS was the place to go and get invited to uk-t, ftwr, ftn or fsc.
No traders there, no invite selling via pm, all honest peeps, very friendly and community oriented, and honest staff too. How could have things gone so wrong?

[Om3n]

Nice subtle way to put all these words together for google Cabalo, why am I not surprised of such a classy move?

As far as I know, and as far as I can tell from my personal experience I never saw any of these being successful, the only members asking for trades in the forums were banned swiftly, and the ban log was a daily freak show, some tried, and failed, badly, now there were surely some bad apples keeping a low profile, like anywhere else, but I never came across any of these, and anyway, in the end, they always ended up getting caught. TPS was and is known for its anti-trader group after all. It's not btracs, or fst for that matter.

Having disabled people invited from TPS myself, I can tell you they aren't all patron saints of the torrenting world.

Really it's the same shitpile of people that are present here, just with a bit of air freshener applied. Most of them are just swapping "low level" invites for rep so they can hit Captain and request whatever's still on their limited movement list (FTN was the big ticket last time I checked), and then fade away, never to be seen again.

Assuming, of course, you didn't get smacked with the banhammer for questioning the authority of their staff team or voicing your opinion in public.

I agree that it was a once pretty nice place actually, with lots of great members in there and useful info. I only check the place from time to time and post occasionally and never voiced my opinion in public about tps related matters so i don't know what could have happened if i did.

I completely agree with this. I saw countless supposedly "awesome members" in their forums who vanished after joining their dream tracker(s). I guess they are a new type of collectos (collect'n'run?)

Anyway, wasn't there some troubles because the seedbox service they offered? Interesting how everything changes when money gets involved
