    But if there's no ratio system, upload speed isn't important at all (if you can seed for 36hrs which almost everyone can) and seedboxes etc won't be needed. Hope there are enough people who will seed with boxes, home connection, longer than 36hrs etc.
    theres still user classes to aim for at least
    personally i think its a good idea and its how it should be

    I'd assume FTN has a very dedicated userbase, I don't think you'd expect people slacking off too much, especially after how long it took for most to get invited. That's how I'd look at it in the situation.

    Let the leeching begin
    The whole ratio was pointless since you had to upload till 1:1 or for 36 hours so this won't really affect the speeds, also it is a small community of people who do care about the site so people won't surely slack off.

    Are Corey and myself the only sensible ones here?

    Ratios are a GOOD thing.

    All those old torrents, great packs, etc. that FTN is known for are going to disappear. With no need to seed and no ratio to keep up, why would users keep old torrents alive by seeding them for long periods? Simple, they won't.

    yeah right, then they really should add some new user classes after 1 TB uploaded like said before

    It could certainly keep the interest for seeding alive

    I suggest 5 TB upload = FTN God

    KFlint, maybe userclasses are something of more importance on rare(r) trackers but I've never given much thought about them. Very seldom they come with additional privileges or functions and if that's not the case I could care less if I'm called a mere power user or a God.

    Skizo, your argument makes sense but I'm sure that FTN's staff will have thought of that. Keeping a number of valuable torrents alive might just take some additional commitment from a smaller group of users to make it work. This change can certainly be positive for new torrents for they're more likely to be snatched now that a ratio isn't something to be feared anymore.
