    Remember it's only absurd when it doesn't make sense

    Shit...if I knew I could get myself a free Lexus or some other really nice expensive car, than I would start up a tracker of my own immediately.

    Conspiracy theorists of the world unite! you still haven't managed (apart from the antique pastebin post) to back up anything you say, apart from 'we all know' just saying something without any kind of substance or back up is fatuous.
    If you are going to debate a point using generalities and saying 'everyone knows' it is only going to make you look ignorant. As I said before ask any staff member you personally know just how much they are raking in, if this was such a huge money spinner why do so many trackers simply fade away ? The list of trackers that could not make their server bills and had to shut up operations is very long .

    To answer the original question, I have nothing against former traders, provided that:

    1. They're done trading a long time ago, and have done so out of their own choice, not because they got into all the trackers they wanted to.
    2. They've acknowledged their mistakes, and have chosen a new path.
    3. They do not hold any accounts obtained by trading.

    A former trader that satisfies the above conditions is fine in my eyes, and is just as good a torrenter as a guy who has never traded. I have no quarrel with such a person.

    I'll also add that I'm not particularly impressed by anti-trader/non-trader/whatever-trader signatures. It's actions that coun, not words.

    Agreed. Anyone that has "Non Trader" or "Anti Trader" in their sig or user title I won't even consider for an invite if they make a request. To me that is just really lame and they're obvisouly putting that in their sig or user title primarily to increase their chance of getting invites...in my opinion.

    And of course cinephilia this not meant towards you since I know your sig is a joke.

    Im going to ask you once again. Who lied to you?
    Do me a favor. Quit wasting your time on trying to make a point
    and do what you do best. Report users for being "hostile"
