I'm getting tired from this

well in answer to that.

We "did" have a forum for offers/requests, but a lot of sites complained about it.

so i asked why.

most resounding answer was that they would rather it was done through PMs to trusted users, than open to PU and above.

I am not saying every tracker is like that, but these were some of the big name trackers that im talking about.

However, the most retarded thing is to giveaway your account when you no longer need it.
I prefer an inactive invitee than someone who gives away his account because he doesn't like it any more.
I always ask my invitees to delete their account if they no longer need it, than give it away to a stranger.

totally agree.we shouldn't give accounts away

HAHA everyone knows my stance on this. Should I go into my 6 pages of anti-trade rants?

But chances are the person you are giving the invites to are probably just collectors.

I think to make this place better we should really start considering requests, especially if the person requesting is a good, up[standing, active member here. Maybe u wont get as noticed, but who cares, we should be here to help people not advertyise our kindness if u can really call it that.

Here's to saying we should defientely give privately to people who really deserve it, not publicly to get good attention for ourselves.

Just my two cents, let me know what u guys th ink

Do it privately to members you think(Hopefully in your mind it's really, I know I can trust) you can trust, has a proven track record(Could be hard, but is not if you really do your research). I no longer do giveaway's due to some of my accounts getting disabled and also due to "Good members" here and on other trackers frowning upon it. Requests are fine though, I see no harm in that. You just have to use your better judgement.

i think the main problem is, members tend to forget their roots, they forget where they had to start from, so as soon as they get a lvl 4-5 or more, they never ever go back to places like bitsoup to keep the ball rolling, which in turn tends to have another knock on effect for members like you, who are trying to "get up the ladder" for want of a better term.

I do see that happening alot. You just have to "Remember" where you came from. It is important to giveback (To those deserving members). It could be challenging at times. It's like a person who grew up broke, then got a good paying job or hit the lottery, now they have all this money and forget their friends, where they came from, and in some cases their own family. Always remember where you cam from. Me i came from Oink and now FST(My second coming).

I can understand your disppointment bluelabel but that's life.
Sometimes you meet good sometimes you meet bad guys.
At the end of the day if you feel good with yourself it's ok.

I tottaly agree with stoi we are forgetting our roots.
But it's not only about collecting at least not for the new ones.
We really don't know our needs so when I had bitsoup, I wanted TB,
now I'm curious about TL, tommorow I try to get into SCT and etc.
I believe fatcat when he says that if you are member in a good 0-day
tracker you don't really need another one even if it's a rare one.
But I want to try another to learn by myself which one is better for me.
It's called curiocity and it is normal.
Although cat doesn't like it

Very true. Just cherish what you already have most of them are the same(some of them are exceptionally, not always just for content either). UG is level 1 (do i hate thoses) but i couldn't live without it.

well I dont know what you saw but I saw many collectors that fill req's, collectors are collectors and they will try to touch any tracker they want.

here is some prove to you
what is the most req trackers???
all the high lv
FTN, SCT, NB, TT.....
90% of the req are those tracker that I mention

once in a while you see low lv req

Personally, I really hate the "I need" approach when people ask for trackers. Hey, guess what?! Ya don't "need" anything... wanting it is another matter.

**1000possibleclaws** · 02-23-2008, 12:36 AM

just over half the invites i've given out since i've started have gone unused (and sometimes disabled for inactivity depending on the tracker) and i've given over 100.

**dunson** · 02-23-2008, 12:42 AM

Wow that's pretty sad. I would hate to see that happen if I ever have invites to give out...

I don't know why someone would accept something rare that they had no intention to use in a sharing community. It seems antithetical to the fundamental principles of filesharing.
