Damn, i love FTN SO MUCH :)

Increased DB was due to the leecher problem

I think 6,000 is too much... Would've been OK with it if the userbase was increased to just 5,000.

[Brandon]

We were at 5,000 lol, we increased from 5k to 6k hoping to help offset those not leeching

The leechers problems could be because of the 72h seeds? maybe people prefer to leech on other trackers so they avoid that.
well, probably not. trackers with more leechers have a lot more users. And so many freeleech help to increase leechers, probably with 6k will improve, but it´s still around 5k. need a lot to reach that number. maybe should made a request tread to power users till reach the 6k or give more invites to ftn power or higher class.

Or maybe Upload 10xtimes more porn. that should increase leechers. fucking pervs are everywhere, hehe

I think 1:1 ratio or 72 hour seeding time is actually a great rule, especially in a small community...

Already ahead of you on that one, still trying to find a middle ground.
Chances are that rule will change.

Although it's not the right place to say it, but I think that if the 72hrs rule reduces or disappears, there should come something else instead, that encourages users to keep seeding, not like a strict rule or something , but rather a thing that makes them want to keep seeding .

the truth is that people can leech the 72h but limit the upload speed at arround 1kB\s or less. The rule was good thinked, and probably changed will not make big diference on number of leechers but who knows. I´ll suggest more porn free leech. that should solve the problem.

or who knows? maybe improve the speed between webpages, that could make some users to make ftn his first choise tracker. Is not easy to get a good solution to the problem. But with some time it should be solved, since staff are concerned about that, first try the 6k limit then if it won´t work as expected another idea should appear. Good luck anyway.
