[suppli3r]

bcg is the heaven of games

[parah]

It's simply the best game tracker there is, and I'm very proud/lucky to be a member there.

Yea, I'm sticking with underground-gamer.com and bitgamer.com

well if you are the same XxRavenxX that I remember, then they can keep you.

and we dont care about the members, ffs.

you have had over 1 month to generate your keyword, there have been announcements, forum posts, news items, about it, and people still complain.

and we dont care about the members, ffs.

Yup, ur gonna have to start all over, BCG doesnt give a shit about its members

Ok stop with that crap,you know thats not true...

it was from that quote, sorry i forgot to quote it in my previous reply lol

I like it. I like the informative posts by the staff too :p. I get rare and hard to find games(Shenmue 2 for the win) off it and use the Seeding points system to seed back. Thus, maintaining a good ratio is not a problem at all. I'm a PU at the site and registered using the signup page too

@Stoi: You have taken a great initiative by making this thread. So i had to post a feedback
And all the shit you are getting about banning users for not generating a keyword is unwarranted if you ask me. I generated it the very first time i got a system pm with the link on how to generate it. I promptly followed the instructions and saved the keyword on my hdd in a safe place for future reference. It took me like 5 mins to do it...

So i ask this... Is it really that hard to follow a simple instruction. No it is not. End of discussion!

So, 72 hours is just to avoid H&R, then afterwards, you get rewarded. That makes sense and is totally fair.

No, 72 hours before you can start getting the points which count towards stopping it being a H&R.

Many PC games are ~7GB now, so to stop one of those being a H&R it would be 72 hours + 70 hours to get the points to stop it being a H&R = 142 hours.

The points you get aren't a 'reward', they are to prevent you falling into bad standing. There is no positive effect of getting them; only prevention of a negative one.

As for ScT - I'm not a member there, and you mention PACKS being 120 hours, well how large are packs normally? I got one from SCC, a couple of series of a show - it weighed in at 22GB. Since you were comparing packs to Blackcats releases in terms of seeding time requirements, by the Blackcats rules you'd have to seed that for 292 hours. 120 hours isn't so much given the size.

so surely, stopping a negative effect, which is basically banning your ass, is a positive effect in the long run.

and the reason its set up the way it is, is pretty easy to understand but a pain to write down lol but i will try my best.

lets take a 7 gig PC game. lets say its not new, but 6 months old, there is 5 seeders on it and 0 leechers.

a leecher jumps on, so you do not get SP after your 72 hours of seeding, as its under the 20:1 ratio. so if those 5 seeders are limiting their BW to 1KBs each, giving the leecher 5 KBs its going to take him a week to finish it, and the seeders will have to keep seeding it.

if on the other hand, all those seeders are giving it their all, and each upload 2 gig (I know that doesnt fit a 7 gig game but lets not nit pick).

the cost would be

72 hours + 70 hours - 20 hours (your 2 gig upload) = 122 hours

and that 2 gig upload you could do in a couple of hours of seeding.

and if you do get your SP to get you to a 1 ratio, anything you upload on top of that to leechers, is a bonus.

honestly i see people downloading old games, uploading 0 through lack of leechers, getting SP to stop the hit and run and getting the 1 ratio on it, keeping the files, as soon as a leech jumps on, getting back on it and uploading to the leech, that way you only really need to upload .5 of the size of the torrent to get PU, or 1,05 to get SPU and that to me is a community member, not someone that downloads something, seeds for 24-72 hours, gives up, deletes files and forgets all about that torrent.

so basically anyone on the site can get to SPU, it just takes patience and being a good member to do so, which is basically what we want after all, not a bunch of hit and runners, and members that seed 1000 torrents or limit their upload to 1KBs.

so after all that, the faster you upload to any leechers that are on your torrents, the better it is for both parties, and if there are no leechers at all, you still get rewarded for seeding them.

I just cant see how that is unfair or negative in any way shape or form, and on other trackers, that have got a 72hr waiting rule, I dont think you get the difference added to your upload stat for that torent, you just do not get flaged with a hit and run, at least on BCG you get a bonus to your ratio as well.

Black Cats have some very sexy staffers. I get a semi just reading some of stoi's posts.
