What Really Grinds My Gears: AntiTraders

[th0r]

you missed the point completely

just share you damn point already because apparently i completely missed it too

[Artemis]

it seems the anti-traders are collectors just as well. whats the point of having 50 accounts if you only use 3? taking up space on a tracker is no better than giving the account to somebody who may make good use of it for at least a couple days...then gives it to somebody else. as long as the account is changing hands it is being used for something rather than collecting dust.

if your moral standards are determined by the way you behave on a filesharing site then your priorities are seriously fucked.

Actually a very good point, I even questioned seedman about that in another thread :https://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bit...t-ftr-306757/?
but as for the a/c being used, it depends on the type of tracker, some want a high throughput, and for those this is a good point, other trackers do want to just be a small group (and a trusted one) so for them high swarm speeds are less important, these are the less scene orientated ones where users share their own releases, so there are two sides to that coin.

But it is your final sentence that I agree the most with sadly we will not see part 3 of 1080p's epic thoughts on bit torrent, since his ass is grass & the bt mods are a lawnmower & yet this thread still burns on

I got my start on Slyck when they had invite forums and before the WIAW Thread came along and royally fucked many good people out of good invites.
two years ago I got into some great sites. if the WIAW thread came along I think I would of not gotten a chance like I did. but in the end and I have always said this, as of right now FTN and ScT are the best of the best but my good old TTi and TL give me the same thing. it is as fast with hardly any delay time from when it hits ScT to TL or TTi. the only difference I see is the fact that it is harder to seed on the top sites.
many people just don't understand this. true FTN has some packs that TTi does not but TTi has some packs that FTN does not.

I guess people just see Ratings more than anything...

Pirates discussing the relation between online and real life ethics

you missed the point completely

my statement wasn't aimed towards piracy but towards this forum...hence, the reference, "filesharing site." We ARE at filesharingtalk.com, right?

so basically if the character you put forward is one that is defined by the way you behave in a public forum...you're probably not a very interesting person.

the country which I live in is based on capitalist values. i have been trading things since grade school (i.e. cd's/casettes, books, candy, etc..). all of these trades served a beneficial purpose to me at the time. im not surprised that the capitalist mentality has managed to bleed through into peoples, "torrent life."<-------by far the most fucking retarded phrase that gets thrown around in this forum.

we trade money for nearly every fucking thing we own. we traded our time to our job to earn that money...and to be quite honest, alot of things that we pay for are not nearly worth what we pay for them...but we pay anyways. trading invites or accounts isn't much different. but unlike the ridiculous amounts paid for car insurance and the other necessities of life, accounts and invites are traded (essentially bought and sold) for something that is supposedly of equal value and that value is determined by the needs/desires of another person.

btw...traders? anti-traders? cliques? omg, im back in the fucking 7th grade

i feel sorry for traders, i really do.

nobody likes them. there's not a single tracker out there that doesn't hate them. not only staff but also the vast majority of the userbase of private bittorrent sites think they're like cancer for every tracker.

why do you think nearly every tracker forum has a section, where trades can be reported? many members take part in this hunt and help to get them banned. that's why they all have to hide. most of the time their tracker history/posts isn't even theirs. they use someone elses name and identity. not exactly a guest you would welcome to your party, right?

every single trader has been scammed, betrayed and banned from a tracker at least three times.
when they finally get one of those "high levels" they've been trading for for ages, they are scared to have lost the account everytime they log in.

let's face it traders and cheaters are the most hated individuals in the private bittorrent scene.

people who are nice, helpful and respected usually get their invites for free without even asking. damn that must hurt every trader. this frustration when you realize how not cool you are.

i've never traded once and got all my trackers for free. most of the time i didn't even have to ask. all i ever wanted - every level on that stupid list.

fst is one of the few places where traders have a lobby. they can scam, flame, spam and shine with calling people "anti-traders". in fact it's the only really big place where they can socialize with each other. where else could they do that? on their trackers? no way!

the more posts i read from people defending trading, the longer i'm a respected member of the private trackers scene, the more i feel sorry for every trader. i'm not angry about them. i just smile, lay back and pity them.

I'm sure you have made mistakes in other areas of your life, everybody has, but you learn from them and move on.
Some of us have made mistakes when we first found this site, others like yourself, already knew all the reasons why trading was a bad idea.
I'm not defending trading but I don't see it as a reason for hating people or pitying them.

I bet most wives just think of "the net" as somewhere to view porn, no matter how much you try to explain, the mass media has labelled the net as pron paradise and that is the message they get in their heads, sadly.

So, conversely, if you spend time on the net, you are only surfing for pron in her mind

More commonly, i hear that i should spend more time with my irl friends instead of wasting time, communicating with "imaginary" friends on the net. Funny thing is, you hear this no matter how wide and active your irl social life is. Rules to follow: don't socialize on the net in other forms than on msn or on facebook, because then you are a geek and you will end up rotting in hell.

So nice to know I'm not alone in this imaginary virtual world lol! Not to say pr0n wasn't a pit-stop along the lines of growing up with the PC, but at this stage it's not the focus..but unless your wife is a techhy there's no explaining it.
