What do you think of blackcats-games

[mrnobody]

my gaming pc f***ed up, i gave away my gaming account to friends, and deleted BCG account....i am through gaming, for now at least.

During my stay, i enjoyed the site. The content is truly admirable, speed is good, and on top of that it's easy to seed as well (plus not to forget the SP system).

But then, i thought SP system was lil more complex. There were many (comparing it with other site's policy) different criteria and maybe some folks were scared to download lol.

Other than that, as everyone else said, working on neater style sheet would be nice.

and one more, although i don't recall exact details, but i thought some of the stuff were over worded and thus lil hard to understand. Again, i don't really recall where exactly it is....maybe in seeding history table....or maybe the description about SP.

Once again, the content is amazing and the forum seemed friendly as well...and that's all what matters

The design is no worse than any other site particularly.
All torrent sites are horribly designed IMHO.

Functionally BCG is excellent. You have that area (games) pretty well covered and are miles ahead of anything else i've seen.

I think its a great site.I like the site layout and I don't have a problem with keeping a good ratio and I enjoy the conversation in the forums.

Well there is a reason for our SP system the way it is, and not based entirely on Seeding time for 36 or 72 hours.

lets take a basic 4 gig torrent.

you do not upload any of it at all, for whatever reason.

72 hours + 40 hours you have to seed for to get a 1 ratio on that torrent.

But if you upload 3 gig within 3 days.

72 hours + 10 hours to seed for, so imo, its well worth uploading as you will be seeding for a shorter time.

And yes i agree the SP FAQ is pretty hard to follow, but thats why we now have an easier to understand verion of it. SP FAQ for Newbies.

basically covers the same things, just a lot easier to take in.

And i believe themes should be last on your list of priorities, Security and getting the server to handle the load, should be your first, once you have all that the way you want it, then work on the aesthetics of the site.

also Tbdev based sites are pretty easy (not very easy) to change the stylesheet, torrentstrike which we have, is a lot harder and time consuming to do.

I love my BCG acc, one of my most treasured accounts. The seed point system is awesome (there is no excuse to have a bad ratio) and speeds are great as well.

It's a great tracker...altough...i cant help myself i think you guys shouldnt open sign ups...but it's your choice and i respect it.

I think the themes are pretty lame...sorry stoi i said it like that...when i registered i had the black one...God it's ugly...it was impossibl to read the FAQ! then i tried them all and i kept the white one...cause i like the banner and at least i can understand stuff...altough it's the same as WildBytes and some other trackers with that theme.
i think some new themes with some pics about games or something would be great!

and i think you could have way better pre-times....i dont care about them but maybe some other people does...and it's wierd cause maybe you have a pre time of seconds (today with th Hulk game) or sometimes a big game is uploaded hours after some 0 day trackers like ScT

The content is great...i'd like to see some more Ps1 games for my emulator

cheers!

Well, BCG is probably my most valued tracker, and the only big flaw I see with it that the open signup is the only way to get in. I understand stoi's desire to get free of all the '1337 high-level' bs that surrounds a lot of sites, and I think that's fine, but it seems to me that you could accomplish the same thing by giving out a lot of invites to PU/SPUs and allowing public giveaways. I guess BCG staff doesn't like invite systems because people will trade or sell invites, but removing invites just means people will trade or sell accounts instead. Meanwhile, if you are a PU and you have a friend you think will be a good member, you have no way to get them in.

hmm, just tell them we are open lol (but we are not atm).

Invites can go wrong as well though, if we say you invite a cheat or whatever we will ban your account, no one uses them, if we say we wont, everyone gives them away and you still get trading/selling of invites/accounts.

The one big drawback of opening up is the amount of dupe accounts we get, sign up, download 2 games, hit and run, sign up again on a different IP. but we do catch most, its just hard to keep them out lol

one good thing about that i suppose is, it gives the members we have got, a better chance to get a good ratio, more leechers = better ratio for those that do care.

If users that got in played fair and only created 1 account, i would probably open full time, and get rid of this so many signups in 15 minutes, and the captcha thing, but 70%-80% do not play fair, so it has to be this way im afraid. (we did use to have 100,000 members, in 3 months that was down to 60,000 and 99% of those were dupes or cheaters )

as for the fast pre-times, we have never, and never will be a 0 day site, ok if we get fast pre`s, great, i wont complain, but its not what we are striving for with the site, and any other site we may work on in the future.

BCG by far the best games tracker as i rely on it for all my games as you offer nice speeds. And the homerips are great as often it is hard to find old games.

[Gennesuke]

i manage once to get in. i've put my account on park cause i had to getaway for a fews days and i don't want to lose it, but when i came back my account was closed due to inactivity. i ask stoi why, i learned the hard way that the only way a park account gets closed its when it has never been used. ok fine thats fair, so i manage to get in again, but never got the confirmation email(just my luck) cause they had trouble with the return system... and never heard from stoi again like i had leprosy lol

i sure hope i will be more lucky next weekend and get the confirmation email this time
