So if the donation bar on ScT is updated MANUALLY, who's to say they're not just making up figures (to try to make others donate)?

[NIB]

1.) IF ScT would be P2L, you would NEED TO PAY in order to download anything. Well guess what, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING and understand that once and for all. ScT IS NOT CHARGING YOU to download what gets uploaded there.

P2l = Pay to Leech <> Pay to Download. Leech = download something without seeding it, taking advantage of others, etc.

and who's to say that all other trackers don't AUTOMATICALLY make up figures to make people donate. sheesh.

You see, sct needs a way to keep up with the competition, and since chronic tracker has an auto upload script, I'm assuming sct has decided to join forces with CT and share profits while benefiting both sites. Clever? Yes.

Errrr, it would take me about 10 minutes to knock up an auto upload script.
Possibly less considering I wrote pure PHP code yesterday to do torrent creation from a directory, just perfect for auto creation on a seedbox.
Auto creation/upload of torrents can't be worth that much.

What's all the fuss about donations anyway?
Revolt needs around $100/month, I have the next 6 months banked. Other sites also keep 2-3 months banked in paypal. It's not unusual.
Their claimed operating costs may be steep, but that in itself is not proof of any wrongdoing. For all we know, they could be paying for a bunch of 100mb/s unmetered seedboxes.

If there's evidence, I'm sure a lot of people would like to see it. If there isn't, I don't see what the fuss is about. Torrent sites have merged before.

And to the repercussions of this thread...I see mainly positive for ScT. and very little concrete accusations at all...
Vendettas... Bah.

Oh and for all of those thinking your dear Brandon is a saint:

[18.09.2007]@[09:43:16] <~Brandon> anyone on p2p-network?
[18.09.2007]@[09:43:20] <~Brandon> quick
[18.09.2007]@[09:43:27] <~Brandon> this wont last long need a favor
[18.09.2007]@[09:43:44] <~Brandon> drama
[18.09.2007]@[09:43:48] <~Brandon> or L0cKd0wN?
[18.09.2007]@[09:44:01] <~Brandon> free invite to whoever helps?

I think the last line says enough

Brandon isn't a saint , nobody says it .
But I guess it could be interpreted in some different ways .
joke .
Or to bring attention to him about the thing he wanted help with . [ When Brandon offers invite , it got to bring some attention ] .
Or maybe the one that could help him in that thing really deserves invite .
When you can pay for an invite , this kinda thing not really "says enough " .

It used to updated manually, now its automatic

Uhm... Do you even know what you're talking about? You don't pay ScT anything to download off it, therefore you DO NOT pay 2 leech or pay 2 download as you called it Besides, word leech can have different meanings I download a torrent and I leech the data, then AFTER I'm done leeching, I seed it for others Also donating doesn't get you any special priviliges, you still have to obey the rules.
