Why the hell is FST so concerned about a review from a site like Tophos?
EDIT: I hope people don't get the impression that I think Tophos is a bad site, I didn't mean that all. I'm not a member so I wouldn't be able to make any kind of judgement on the site. I just meant it's not one of the more popular sites where there are a ton of requests for. It's obvious they don't want a review up, so I think that should be respected.

There's obviously a correlation between the number of requests/traders a tracker gets here and its listing in this thread. Most new traders learn about trackers that are sensationalized in this thread, and immediately begin trying to trade for them.
In other words, once THS gets a review and ranking listed here, the number of trades/requests for it will most likely increase.
they didn't built Rome in one day
Highly doubtful.There used to be an avg amount of trade posts about them here.I think they decreased based on the fact they dont offer invites and they used to catch most... if not all the people I have ever seen posting trades for them here.I think you dont see trades for them here based on the fact its harder to trade them than most of the other sites.
THS was sort of my fault, even though i have been assured by all parties it was not my fault, I still feel partly responsible.
1: I wanted BCG off the WTAW list so i kicked up a fuss
2: I was told NO, your on, you cant get taken off.
3: I then deleted our review hoping we could get taken off
4: Was told, still No.
5: Read a post that Tophos was on and got taken off
6: Instead of just keeping quiet, it added more fuel to my fire
7: Was told that Tophos was never on, and never got taken off
8: MM himself then PMed me and said they were on, but got taken off because, well you have seen the because for yourselves lol
9: So i said, if a site can be taken off for lets be honest here, being c*&^s (their perogotive though, i have nothing against it its just the way they do things), why cant a site that has a Comm Rep and asks nicely and are not c*&^s about it get taken off.
10: I was then told that they do not allow account trading here for comm reps, we get that and we want something else (they made it sound like that`s the only reason i got comm rep), or at least thats the way I read it.
11: Reason i got Comm Rep was because Detale asked me to do it, gave me a list of rules the list of your arm (rules from both sides) so i took my time over deciding and asked my staff about it, if there was no perks or silly rules i would have just said yes.
12: I actually wrote in the com rep thread my resignation, but before I hit Post i changed my mind and decided to stay, so just did not bother posting, but i am still a bit pissed off that i was accused of taking the com rep job just because of the trading account perk we get, and God forbid i wanted another perk on top of that.
13: back to 9: when the staff from here heard what tophos did, one of them went ballistic and went all out to get a review and to get them on that WTAW list.
14: the rest as they say is history.
PS: btw i am not writing this to sound like i am complaining, or bringing up sour grapes, im just coming clean on how it all went down, and why tophos hit the headlines all of a sudden, and why i think its partially my fault.

Ye, even traders like me love Stoi so much! You're one of the most responsible staffs I've ever met.
