How you're wording this is a bit biased and it probably could have been handled better, but I think your message is clear, and I think it needed to be said.
I think the point of this post was to show that FTN isn't gonna be a good tracker for everyone. It is overhyped and it's probably because of all the public support from members here.
People get defensive when you talk about it, because there is an amazing community and staff there - probably the best. But I will agree, pre-times could be better (not the worst though) and my biggest complaint would be that there is less content than desired - there are barely any games in comparison to most, and packs aren't really uploaded on a regular basis. Along with the fact that only about 80% of the same uploads that hit ScT and TL are seen on the tracker in the other categories.
Also, the fact that there is no ratio is very appealing to many, but it also isn't the only tracker to do it anymore - but it was the first and it's still nice feature.
The speeds are good, too. If you don't care about speed it doesn't matter - but on many 0-days on NEW uploads, the speed is really bad, and it takes a while to download those new torrents. I'd say FTN is in the top 3 for speeds on new torrents.
But seriously, if you're looking for content, there are about 10 0-day trackers I can think of that have more content. And more than half of those have more than double the amount of torrents.
FTN is a great tracker, and it will remain to be a favorite to a lot of people, but it is not perfect, and it is not for everyone.
