    (Traders) This could last forever so just one example of my opinion. People are just searching for a home where they may find the best possible site to suit their needs once this has happend they stay.
    You forgot (Safety) these places being more restricted on who joins, make them more safe

    (Low usercount) Gives them more community feel

    And then they have their little special thing

    I mensioned safety that comes Under home you are not at home if you don't feel safe once you feel at home you then establish yourself into the community. safety in low numbers is a somebody elses personal preferance i don't agree with as i have stated below

    Low user count means nothing in safety there are plenty of sites around which have 6000/10000 torrents they are fast and have had open doors for over two year's why are they still open??? but the torrent sites which are Exclusive shut down and they are slow don't hold some many torrents bla bla why? i don't know ask the anti piracy people.

    The term personal computer was abolished and current laws prove that. since when has a computer been personal?

    Often it's because of attention coupled which authorities that Anti-piracy agency's can push around as they please.

    Also which exclusive torrentsites got shut down?

    Oink with it's 180.000 users or Demonoid with their 3.000.000 users?

    I suppose i should choose my words more carefully. i guess i was thinking of that short article on here which has talks of what.cd and waffles amongst other sites they are only new and have enough attention it may contain some bad news written in there but i can't confirm it it's here some place but i'm to lazy to search it.s fairly recent i'm sure it has some funny news in there. personaly i think you can't hide it unless people are completely silent but that would mean only natter between friends.

    I still don't understand why torrent sites which have 30000/40000 members and the doors are wide open with lots of copy written material are not targeted this is how i drew my conclusion that exclusive really means nothing for safety.

    Yes only the two you mention i know of attention is brought by sites such as FST and ranking systems it's quite obvious and the odd crack how else would these people get member's besides the personal gossip between friends to atract member's

    ...a couple reasons, not all of which are as rueful as you may be led to believe:
    1) community (rational)
    2) the rare files (rational)
    4) e-penis elongation (insecure irrationality)
    3) curiosity (respectable, but not really rational)
    5) sense of achievement (again, respectable)

    all in all, an account on a tracker is a means, not an end. keep that in mind at all times, thank you.

    Let it never be said that observer bias isn't an innate feature to some people.
    Ask me about my self-esteem!

    Nope, he is absolutely right. Nobody cares about FTWR, UK-T and REVOLT torrents. People just want to join those sites to belong a restrict community where everything is discussed.

    If you have no time to participate in forums those sites are useless.


    said what i would have nicer then i could have from someone being wrong telling me im wrong, thats always annoying.

    what do durex condoms do again......? oh thats right, they get penises stuck in them. ur name makes sense now.

    Im on them all, and without sounding like i hate them (which i dont, since most of the staff on all of them are friends/co-workers of mine).

    People go to extreme lengths to get any of these but its pure madness IMO.

    Dont people realise this is the internet, there are plenty of sites that have exactly the same content/speeds etc.

    If people didnt rate them so high etc & the number of cheaters wasnt so great, Trades were none existant. You realise you'd have no trouble getting them right?

    Answer my question with your view/etc etc dont spam it & ruin plz.

    celtic

    i agree
