    You brought it up so I felt the need to reply. This forum does not turn a profit. Never has.
    you're a nice and honest guy, skizo. with all due respect, this is something i simply do not believe.

    the krassensteins aren't known for their non-profit engagment, but appear to be quite successful online businessmen and internet advertisment specialists. i can hardly believe that he runs this forum out of generosity for filesharers.

    there's nothing wrong with making profit by the way. i was just claiming that the invite section is the backbone of this forum and its profit.

    if you got real insights in the fincancial circumstances of this domain and still tell me this is a non-profit business, i'd tend to believe you and still claim that it would be a failure compared to other projects that the owner is involved in.

    I wonder if he pays the staff to say that?

    the site doesn't make a profit but skizo does.

    looooooooooool

    FST shouldn't waste the time. The trackers themselves just do mass scam-slamming with country wide IP bans. Sites like BMTV with a huge ban radii are proof that they have a larger impact than FST probably could if they tried. The only reason to do a day like this would be for symbolism, not for functionality.

These fools really need to smell some fresh air outside .

    Downloading illegal stuff worth millions of dollars is cool , but if a person trades an invite , he's worse than a rapist in these foolish people's eyes , heh .
    A lovely if misguided speech from the rabid, with one obvious flaw............ How on earth does it actually pertain to the thread????????? We are talking here about scamming and invite selling not your personal opinion of others in the bt community. If you have an inferiority complex because you are a trader then maybe it is time to take a look at your own values, but that has zero to do with this topic.
    a foolish if not a senseless talk from yours truly to enhance your post count maybe ? maybe open your eyes and read the goddamn thing again . i can understand your Oestrogen levels are very high when anything regarding selling/scamming etc comes as your probably one of those losers who will give speeches on the drop of a hat on these topics and accuse others as a trader . what they(scamming/sellers) do is absolutely wrong (ITS OBVIOUS , everyone knows ...) with regards to the Trackers they are part of , they break trackers rules . Its the lookout of the Staff of the Trackers who do their job in eradicating them (and most of the staffers do a good job at that) unlike hyper people accusing others of inferiority complex and calling them traders . maybe to show public your l33t and have superiority complex or to cover up yourself from trackers as a invite seller ?? see even i accuse you like this , as i said maybe talk some sense next time when u try to increase you post count with senseless crap against fellow members .

    When a trader or an invite buyer is getting into this trading/buying business , he probably knows whats in store and there are risks involved and he's basically taking the chance everytime he trades/buys , its common sense . its his decision and if he gets scammed after invite buying/trading then bad luck for him . There are always scammers/invite sellers out there , but the actual people to be blamed are the ones who buy stuff from them . everyone , me , you agree its wrong to scam people , morally very incorrect but defaming him with posting ip's everywhere from FST , even the most of the mods agree its not the best thing to do . We dont have to stoop to their level of Raging against them , there's a difference between them and us .


    The offenders should be duly banned from trackers , but as i said in my earlier posts the people with nothing to do and browsing 24/7 a day "seemed" more concerned than the actual staffers themselves like i had pointed out in my earlier post. being an alert user and reporting the concerned user is a different thing , being a psycho and thinking they are worse than rapists and lets hang them! , lets kill them! , show me their ipeez!!!!! is a different thing all together . in Short , we all what those people do is wrong , but hey we aint Staffers . lets have a backseat enjoy the forums , doiwnload stuff , have fun enjoy life and leave the banning to the Staffers of trackers , they do a good job in eradicating the scammers/sellers .

    Enforcing the rules on other trackers is their responsibility. We all know they look at these forums too. Are we 100 percent certain that someone of the staff here does not already share those IP's. Where do we draw the line? Who makes the decision to give out the info. How do you know the whole story of happened. What happens if you decide to play favorite and give one person but not the next? I disagree with this topic entirely. What should be done is ban the person ip from creating a new account.

    Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    DO NOT RANDOMLY PM ME ASKING FOR INVITES!

    Isn't selling and trading invites against the rules in any tracker?
    Well if anyone is as stupid as doing so and get scam, then it is their fault, I don't feel bad for them, the one's been scammed they knew better didn't they?
