former traders

[benficao]

im new and a noob, always where and always will be, but......

i could almost bet, that some of the trackers admins, and mods,etc... have trader before!
(look for older, very old, almost forgotten threads, hidden.... theres something there thats proofs they traded! )

If you think trading harms people you must be one delusional dude or too brainwashed or stupid to see wtf is really going on.
Who does it harm? the trackers who are making money or the donation status?
Cmon get a fukin life ffs

Trackers do not make money in fact behind the scenes many pack up their bat & ball and go home because they cannot cover the hardware costs, staff give their time for free and the coders sure don't get paid for the code modifications they do

Who lied to you?? I think you should stop hanging out in the Scl irc
and forums so much. All this l33t thinking is getting to your head.
Think w/e you want but the truth is that these summa bit**es are making money left and right.

Albo you may be right with your assumptions but i can almost guarantee you that the majority of those sysop's who are driving high end cars are acquiring funds through shady dealings elsewhere. I happen to know many people who are driving high end cars, and there yearly salary on paper is fuck all yet they live like kings.

Never been near the ScL forums or IRC, I have good friends who run trackers though, and I am more likely to believe them than a two year old story from a disgruntled ex staff member on ST.
The Lexus story though did become such a fable that Deviant still jokes about buying his third Lamborghini, the fact is, that if this were the case why do trackers have a percentage gauge for their donations? And how much do you think that members actually donate ?
Any excess donations over the running costs for the month are put aside, since the donation target is not met every month so the fund helps with shortfall.

ahh you're so naive.. you'll learn though

A slippery slope argument that has no substance, name one staff member that you personally know, that receives any kind of renumeration for staffing on a tracker. I have been in filesharing for a very long time, I talk to these people on a regular basis and in no way could I be called naive.....

Now that's what I call confidence.. You go dude. you're doing great things. keep it up. make us who don't know no one proud. we look up to you

[Detale]

Pastebin posts are bullshit, FACT. Anyone can say anything they want and some fools take it as the truth. What was the saying? Hmmmm Oh yeah I remember now

ahh you're so naive.. you'll learn though

[Albo Da Kid]

Doesn't matter if that story is real or no. We all know that trackers make money of donations. Especially the ones that sell invites or Gb's for money. Even a blind 15 year old kid who just started torrenting could see that from a mile away.

Artemis tries to put some sense and it gets blown up by absurd posts like that, sad thing.

then people take that as an example and...
