What do you think of blackcats-games

[stoi]

Like i said in another post, when we have just been open this past week, it was just a test to see what was going on with the confirmation emails.

We now know a little bit more and are working to remedy the problems.

Those that did get in, great, your in. those that did not get the confirmation emails (there was a lot) just try again when we open again (once the bugs have been ironed out)

I like BCG, though I haven't found I use it all that frequently. I only d/l pc games really, and a lot of them tend to be retro ones, for which I find another great site, UG, suits my needs a little better

The SP mod is excellent, possibly the best implementation of a bonus system I've seen, though it does take a little while to get your head round it properly when you first come across it. Its actually pretty simple, but it is also quite different from how most sites do it, which is why some initial confusion might come about with some people.

Content is obviously fantastic in its area, though I would like to see slightly better torrent descriptions on occasion. The site layout is fine, I'm much bigger on functionality than pure aesthetics, but as is mentioned above, a bit of work on some new stylesheets or whatever wouldn't hurt.

The registration policy is a plus afaic. As undoubtedly the foremost games tracker, an invite system would only lead to lots of trading and people getting accounts who have no intention of using them, or will not appreciate them. Although being open in some way does lead to its own problems, at least those who really want in and will use & respect an account can register, and it will not be used as currency by those only concerned with levels or their next trade. I think the policy of opening, but making registration a little tricky is a good one, though I would favour a signup process more like torrentbytes' than the one I've read BCG was using recently.

Overall I think you've done an ace job with your site Stoi, long may it continue

i know stoi, i will try again next weekend, i was just pointing out my badluck, and my concerne about being almost treated like i had some kind of a desease, which leads to this question, why didn't you reply to my pm? i've only pm'd you once and i waited patiently(1 pm not 2, 3 or 10 for that matter)? i'm not agressive or annoying or anything like that, in fact i'd like to think of my self like a very comprehensive person, as long a we communicate

about this bug(s), is it the fixed ? can i try my luck this weekend?

I actually like the themes on BCG because of the "retro" look. So far I haven't really needed to fully understand the SP system because I usually just seed the games I download for a really long time and I eventually get a good ratio on them. One thing that troubles me is that for some reason I can't login to the forums anymore :/

@ gennesuke sorry i did not reply, but we must have had 1500 people at least, coming into IRC and saying they did not get their email, i also got a lot of PMs on here about it, so it was not personal i ignored you.

@ tusks

Logout of the tracker, clear your BCG cookies, log back in to tracker, go to forums, you should be signed in.

[Gennesuke]

don't worry mate, i kinda deducted it was for that reason, although i have to admit not at first, cause obviously i didn't knew about the bugs and i didn't push it anyway.

now what i'd love to know is the bug(s) fixed? do you think i can try my luck this weekend?

[stoi]

if its fixed and we are open, yes you can try again, if we are not open though, you cant.

[ramishka]

To be honest stoi, your site is one of a kind. I dont give a damn about the interface all i care about is the content. I only got in around one month ago when you opened signups and have been going there almost everyday since. I was happy to find that even some of my favorite older games were well seeded there which means whatever system you have in place (SP) for seeding,works.

What i would like to see on your tracker are game rips by people such as Skullptura and dopeman. I do not know if this is possible or is in conformance with BCG uploading rules.

Take a bow for creating the site

Its a gr8 commmunity however last 2 years whenever you are upgrading/moving servers that time i lost my PU accounts from that onwards i am not intersted to join becoz i found games in TB, and in another general tracker. And also i lost the spirit of playin game.
However your community is a gr8 place for games but it shud be stable in future.

[stoi]

its been stable since Dec 2006, we have lost no ones details in this new move we have just done.

You have to understand we changed tracker codes the last time, and it was nearly impossible to convert the old tracker db to the new tracker db and vice versa when we went back to TBdev/Torrentstrike, hence why you lost your PU status, but i lost about 600 gig uploaded as well.

so maybe if you did join again, you would be surprised, and we are not stuck at 11,000 peers now with server loads in the 13-15 bracket and slow site anymore, we have moved up in the world. 70,000 peers and tracker loads of under 1 now. (and has been like this for ages)
