Why do people want so much FTN?

[singing_sol]

might be the speed is the trick of the day

[robotpirate]

most notably the no-ratio thing.

[ewerest]

just to feel special and say "i have an account of FTN"

[The Flying Cow]

I find it funny that everybody talks about SCT and nobody about BitmeTV where in my opinion the p2l is so much worse.

I remember seeing a member getting a warning for some minor offence (post in their forums) and then being advised to make a donation just to please the staff. And no they were not kidding about that.

That's true. ScT may have racist and sometimes daft staff (a bit on the 'closing topics whenever they feel like it' attitude), but if you're not a complete idiot, and read site FAQ/rules, you shouldn't have any trouble there. I'm active in their forums and never had any problems.
But BitMeTV staff is the real rotten apple. They just suck.

cruel staff

In a nutshell, yes.

FTN has the best users on the net
the forum is unlike any other

I don't know how you can tell it has the "best users on the net" and what your principles are to make this kind of judgement, but I'll agree that their forum is quite impressive for a private tracker.

It's mostly because of FTN's humanitarian work in feeding underprivileged torrent users for years.

True dat.

cuz they are gays

ppl want it just because the rarity..nothing special in it
ScT the best tracker out there in everything speed/content/pre times/community

ScT is a top tracker contender, in the practical sense, but you can't say it has the best community. It's the best torrent factory, is how I see it. Very good, established uploading team and quality pretime work (many if not most of the time in 0second/0minute speeds), and very large arsenal of content.

just to feel special and say "i have an account of FTN"

Also true. A lot of people (I notice) get in FTN and have signatures on here with their FTN nick or showing they own an account there, but then I am active there and never saw any of them. So they are inactive there, but active here bragging about being a member there.


My view: the OP should ask himself (if he's already in FTN now) - why did you want FTN in the first place? I wanted it coz of the thrill of the unknown. I had heard of a no-ratio system, which I thought was a novelty. iTS has the same system. Anyway, upon arrival, I was more than impressed with the generally welcoming and chilled out atmosphere there.

You can't compare it, in that sense, with most other private trackers. I'm not @ FSC or FTWR, but I can tell these are like FTN in that respect - a nice community. At the end of the day, if you just want to leech away, stick with TL/PiSexy/etc.

Most users in FST wants it for the same reason they want uk-t, e**** and f***.

Others wants for the great packs, community and the fact it's ratio-free.

When i didn't have FTN i wanted it because "FTN and ScT r the best 0day trackers on the world" (u know what i mean). When i got it i realised that it's nothing special. Yeah, yeah they have nice speeds. I heard from a lot of ppl that FTN community is awesome. Well, forums are as awesome as on any other trackers imo. I don't hangin out on their IRC so i can't make a statement about it.
All in all, FTN is a nice tracker, but that's all

[0riGiNaLBoX]

i think because it is a high level and no ratio system

[Sonnentier]

because it's high-level tracker and everybody adores

Just that.

[ahcorac72]

Yes, because FTN is high-level tracker, and not have ratio system.
