Hey guys,

First post here, glad to have finally met the real people behind blackcats! Seriously, the site has a godly reputation in my friends circle (figures, none of us are in!) but it was nice to see that it is after all run by humans, with feelings and sound rationale, and not a dictatorship, which is a truly viable option, given the site's incredible status and content.

The thread topic says it all...the admins at blackcats really do go out of their way to help their members, so it is reasonable to expect at least complete compliance with their rules in return, which I believe are extremely fair, especially the seed points system. That really is an idea ahead of its time. Others need to catch up!

I have a question though regarding the hit-and-run system. Say I download a 360 game and after its finished, I need to close everything down on my computer (, utorrent, firewall, antivirus, every funny thing in task manager) to burn it without hiccups. As soon as the burn is complete, I start seeding. I guess people with 2 or more PCs won't face this problem, but my actions would still count as hit-and-run. Perhaps a small 'grace' period of say an hour or so might be given to people to start seeding after finishing the download? Or am I missing something blatantly obvious? I am not a member so I can't say for sure!

Keep up the great work Stoi. Hoping to become a member soon... but I am basically a foot-soldier in the torrent ranks, blackcats seems way out of reach as of now, but dreams don't hurt anyone as long as you can keep your perspective and wits about yourself

Funny thing is, i do not think we are anything special, we have oepened up that often in the past im surprised there are still people out there that have never been a member.

And have you not heard, PCs can multitask you know, ok still not as good as the Amiga back in the day, but you dont have to stop seeding or any of that other stuff to burn, christ i have run Folding at home with 100% CPU going while i was burning with no problems.

But if you have to stop seeding, then yes its a hit and run, but start it again, and its not a hit and run anymore, and we have 2 types of hit and run.

Seeding hit and run, this just basically tells you if you stop the torrent (has to be under a .8 ratio) then it will be flagged as a hit and run.

Hit and Run, which is when you stop the torrent when it is under a .8 ratio.

but we dont ban on 1 or 2 hit and runs, or demote for that matter, you have to do a few hit and runs before there is any repurcussions to your account.

Hey Stoi,

Glad to have finally met you! Thanks for the response. And trust me, there's a whole new generation of (relatively!) young torrenters like me who have grown up on the plentiful myths and legends on blackcats! I guess we were a bit too young/ignorant and so missed the early days of open signups.

You'll be surprised if you dig a little on Google, blackcats has a near-cult status, no exaggerations. So, forgive my fawning when I first stumbled upon this forum and saw this thread...as if God was asking the people if He is doing okay?! I just thought, wow, that's a level of concern I had never expected nor experienced anywhere else.

I guess its time for me to get a new computer then, this current rig can't even handle open Word documents as it shamelessly starts kicking the buffer-underrun bucket...and the cost of beautiful Verbatim dl coasters...its not a rosy picture.

But yes, I completely agree with your hit-and-run policy in that case, it could not be any fairer.

And this world is a big place, and I understand that blackcats will never have enough spots for every deserving person. Hey, that's life, we need to make the most of whatever we get

and stop complaining for a change!

Good luck for everything,

HI,
my name is mano and I'm a heavy pc gamer.
I never been a member in BCG .
when I started with torrents I registerd to TL and TD ( two years ago ) and I got them till today.
Last mount I bought a PS2 for my son and I didnt find good games with seeds in my private sites.
and in all the big forum's they send me to BCG but it is allways closed for registrations.
last week i enter your IRC chanel and talk about a way to be a member, but i BEEN nicely Ignored after I get an answer that you are closed.

why cant you give chance for news member ?
