    what is atg? could you please explain this?
    ATG = Anti-Trade Group

    ATG Basics

    Those with access to this section agree NOT to trade anywhere.

    This way those that share invites won't have to worry as much about giving to those which do. It's annoying to share invites and find its been traded later on. Some choose not to share their invites for just those reasons. The goal of this section is to bring together a small group of members that can trust each other in a private atmosphere. Community Reps will have access to ATG also.


    ATG Rules
    • This section is for active members that DO NOT trade anywhere.
    • DO NOT requests invites for sites your already a member of.
    • DO NOT trade invites you get from members in this section.
    • If found trading or attempting to, ATG access will be REMOVED.
    • DO NOT give the account to another member anywhere.
    • Discuss anything BT related in here also including light chat.
    • Threads that could be posted in the regular sections should be.
    • This way the ATG section doesn't take away from other sections.
    If you have access to this section, you've agreed NOT to trade anywhere.
    If you plan to trade in ANY form request your access be removed NOW.

    TBH this is really depressing I would love to see a new WIAW thread based on content, and like Skizo said when we discussed this in the ATG a lot of good ideas where thrown around. But it all comes down to workload. IMHO the new thread really needs to be maintained by a mod, but the problem we face is none of the mods have enough time to do this. Even finding a member with enough free time will be tough.

    I know this will not be popular but the best solution as I can see it is reorganise the WIAW thread. It's been mentioned once before in this thread and I think that might be the best bet. Make the rankings side by side in an alphabetical list. It's also important the rankings are even IE: rarity = 1-10 Content = 1-10

    I truly believe that this would go a long way to helping overcome the addiction to acquiring the rarest trackers.

    As for creating a new thread well it would be great but just don't see who can do it. I know I can't. I as many of the older and more experienced members here have a life and balancing it with torrenting/forums is tough as it is. But any such thread will require an experienced person in the BT world to maintain it. So it looks like we're stuck in a catch 22

    P.S. Chewie I for one am sad to see you step down. I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes here but your influence will be missed.

    Think the thread was originally created so members wouldnt post threads like TL for ScT since members would attack those who had. Thought it was intended so n00bs getting into the section would have a fair gauge of what was worth what. The thread got better when adding rating based on content and speed and the reviews were a good addition also. At this point it has a bit of everything and those reading it get what they want out of it.

    Granted its structure goes back to its original creation ranking rarity and could be rethought now. As for creating a new thread to balance it the WTAW thread is the best Ive read. Though the thread starter didnt have time to complete or maintain it apparently. We have no issue to pin such a thread or possibly restructure the WIAW thread if done right...

    The comment I'm referring to is in a report.
    In the one I'm thinking of I replied something like, "Godammit I had SgtMajor down as Mod material".

    Need some ideas, and if approved by all, then I will take on the monster job of creating a new or modified list of trackers, and I would hope that we could remove the word "worth" or "ranking" as that creates a trading commodity value.

    Let's deal with reality, there is no way we can remove the trading that goes on, the best we can do is manage it to the best our abilities.

    Most know I've a chequered history, but that was down to ignorance and me being the nosey & inquisitive person that I am, and for that I publicly apologise to those tracker staff that were and are offended by this, and it is only by having the knowledge to know better have I done something to amend this.

    Right, down to the nitty gritty of the task in hand, what direction to take?

    How about an alphabetical list of trackers based on the current WAIW thread to start us off, which will have a content rating followed by a rarity rating, and if people want to trade invites/accounts, then they can do so based on whatever criteria they need, content, rarity or type of tracker?

    This would (might?) remove the pyramid scheme of striving to reach the top by trading more & more lesser “valued” trackers, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but in time? (perhaps!)

    So we start off by reorganising into alphabetical, followed by another section of trackers by content, such as:

    Para 1:

    All Trackers Alpha as per WAIW thread with content & rarity alongside each other

    Then further broken down into:

    Para 2:

    0day:

    ScT
    TL

    DVDMovie

    TDV
    SweDVDR

    TV

    BitmeTV
    UK-Nova

    Audio

    Oink
    Pedros

    Country Specific:

    Hungarian:

    NCore
    Bh

    Portuguese:

    EvoPT

    Etc, etc.

    Many trackers will be listed more than once, but it will help to show posters & users more info if they are looking for a certain type of tracker and how easy/hard it is to get such a tracker, either by free or by offering something of equal status in return.

    Well, that is my opening gambit, what are your thoughts on this please?

    I think you should go ahead and do that.

    @SgtMajor, I think that you should just use the categories to save duplication. Any trackers that don't fit into 0-day/TV/Music ect can be put in a general category. That way you'll be covering all bases.

    In fact I think RealitY is right Corey's thread is the best I've seen maybe it can be handed over to you or you could base your's on it.

    I think it should be done by genre and then Alphabetically

    0-Day, Movies, TV, Music, Foreign etc.
    They will still be listed several times

    I tried taking the code for PF's WIAW thread and starting some changes, but it takes a long time and I simply don't have time. But by using that thread, you will still be able to keep the links to reviews etc.

    Nowadays, there are more trackers than there are members, so if your tracker misbehaves, they get bookmark removed, or worse, URL deleted.

    I think creating a list with best trackers in each category will reduce the number of identical "Where do I get ... ?" threads.
    I've put together a list of well-known trackers, feel free to check it using the spoiler link or edit it here http://pastebin.ca/722340
    Questionmarks mean I'm not sure or just don't know.
