Thanks bumrocks, that would be correct, I was only on CN when it first opened, right around the time I took a break from the BT world for awhile, I missed all that drama.
Really don't know where all the hostility is coming from, is it because I Staff at sites? Is it because account trading isn't neccessarily frowned upon here? Frankly I don't really care about trading invites, give aways, as long as the person is responcible and will use the account, and it won't jeopardize your own account...who cares??
A friend gave me the link, I said I would check it out, doesn't sound like I'm the one being 1337 or elisted, all I've gotten is shit from a few people, I expect it from backie, cause he doesn't know me, and just assumes bullshit, but didn't think I'd find a few other backies here lol - take that as a compliment backie, goat fucker.
JebusAT you seem like a level-headed person and I've heard good things about you from reputable staffers. But you are just showing up out of nowhere applying for a topsite/exclusive forum, and there are obvious trolls in this thread. It's pretty easy to give off the appropriate impressions and signals especially with a low post count like you have. Also the fact that in the past people given benefit of the doubt have been disappointing, might make cynics out of some members. You probably have cynicism towards certain aspects of torrenting if you've been in the business for so long, so you must understand.
Basing the responses on trading or you being a staffer could not be further from the truth. Although it is nice to hear you are not some anti-trader nutjob as those people are pretty lame, from my experiences. And I honestly don't think our assumptions are completely wrong, if your 'friend' is infact one of the people trolling for an invite which I do believe to be the case here...

@1000PossibleClaws, he's pretty well known outside of here on a number of well-known sites, if that means anything. And yeah, it makes sense to be skeptical of someone with that low of a post count here asking for stuff like this
As an aside/more related to the topic at hand:
I'm not sure if I gathered exactly what you guys are looking for in new recruits, it seems like there's no real general guidelines other than that you guys are looking for something/someone different. I'll throw my hat in the ring, just because I'm curious more than anything else. So I'm just gonna try out an app, divide it into semi-coherent sections, and see what you think. Feel free to ask me anything/ridicule it
Torrenting experience: Been downloading random shit for years, but have been on private trackers for the last 2 years and change. Been doing encodes/fills at random places, mostly at goem and CN. Staffed at TBH before it went under, not sure if that hurts or helps
Posting/Talking stuff: Do a decent amount of posting at goem, at both versions of CN and dabble on IRC chans from time to time. I post here from time-to-time, but I am mostly a lurker. Reason my account is so old with so few posts for 3+ years is because I never ventured out of the NZB section til then
Random shit I know: I dunno, I read a lot of random stuff, dabble in this and that. Know a bit about random movies, music and tv stuff. Not really technical, just things you glean from watching tons of movies and TV shows. Know a tad bit about SD encoding from experience. Just a jack of all trades if it comes to random useless shit
Why you should invite me: I have no idea really. Maybe I bring some random thing to the table that might interest you guys, or maybe you just want a goofy rambling buffoon on your site, who knows?If nothing else, I am good for telling a random dirty joke or two.
Hope you liked the application, or found it humorous. If not, well, there you go.
If you made it this far, you deserve a laugh:
A man walks down a beach one day to find an armless, legless girl crying. The man asks, "Why are you crying?" The girl responds, "I have never been hugged by a man before!" The man then hugs her, and starts to leave. She then cries twice as loud. The man asks, "What's wrong now?". She says, "I've never been kissed by a man before!" So the man shrugs, and hugs the girl. A bit annoyed, the man starts to leave again only to hear the girl cry 10 times as loud as before. The man yells, "And what is wrong now?" The girl says, "I've never been fucked by a man before!" to which the man picks her up by two stumps, and chucks her in the middle of the ocean, screaming "Well, you're fucked now!" XP
@kingeater - nice ending story, I laughed)
I'll reply you like no one else
Then I stand corrected.I have very bad memories of the brief time that I was on CFS and honestly many usernames in the fog that is my memory are similar enough to confuse one with another.
Btw just for the record no real hostility at least on my part to anyone involved even including gameover.
Respect my lack of authority.
