the members who have posted here like kallie, danielle and ghurka have done so to remove the misconceptions about the site.

Wishfull thinking.
I tend to repeat myself here, but the problem is not the owners of the forum/tracker, it's the BT-population itself that is seriously flawed.

No matter what the aim of these forums/trackers is, a majority of BT-users believes rarity is more important than quality. Some people have serious issues to grasp the meaning of a community, without any other intentions.
You can write 100 or 1000 pages trying to explain what these forums/trackers really are and what it is exactly the are intended for, people will continue to believe it's all about the l33tness and the fact they cannot enter pisses them off.

People should come to terms with the fact they can't be everywhere. And frankly, being a member of all these hard to get into places doesn't make you a star, far from it.

I wish more people would read my sig and reflect about it for some time, and draw the necessairy, and maybe unpleasant conclusion some forums/trackers will come for you if they esteem you will fit into it.

Making friends helps a whole lot, but your goal should be to be a constructive and active part of the trackers/communities where you already reside, instead of chasing trackers/communities without even considering why you want them so badly.

I rest my case.

"Why is it that people are hellbent on getting into trackers that don't want or require new members"

Thoughtful post, and yes, your sig line is worth reflecting on. Unfortunately those that should get it won't, and those that do, don't need to worry about it. Having said that, I would suggest IMHO that most sites are actually quite open to new membership, the denseness of the filter applied to who they'll let in versus who they won't is obviously unique from one place to the next; but in many of the forums I follow, it is common to see recurring pleas from the userbase asking that fresh blood come in - regardless of whether invites are staff-driven or provided to individual users by merit or request.

Once in, how welcome a new member feels, is driven certainly by the overall feel of the site, but a chunk of it is also by the individual members themselves and how willing they are to either be cool with new members or stick to their own cliques. A good example is FSC. From the moment you join you sense that spirit of community where the boundaries of cliques are much less dense. What makes that so is the ability of the staff to set examples of welcomeness, approachability and helpfulness and it extends itself to how the users deal with each other. On the other hand, I notice in different sites - with roughly the same core userbase (BT Land really is a small community when you think of it) the sense of welcome is markedly different.

A rather interesting social examination when you think about it.

Respect to my friends

Revolt was never a secret and the aims of the community never were either, the members who have posted here like kallie, danielle and ghurka have done so to remove the misconceptions about the site. It is simply a private forum of filesharing members, but then many of the members are not into bt at all . It is simply that it is a closed community, and therefore rare because you have to know a member to be invited which drives the interest. It is the 'rarity' of revolt which causes all the hype about the forum and the tracker. This interest though was not the intent of the staff who created the site, they simply wanted a small forum of like minded individuals where everyone knew and trusted each other, unlike a forum like FST where you are always wondering if you are talking to someone who is a dupe of someone else you talk to, or the 'antitrader' who wants to convince you how earnest they are is just another account of a trader to cover all the bases, there are many here with 4-5 active a/c's ffs .

Interesting. I have heard of the site-good things.

An ex memeber of Revolt told me she was part of it when they were the users of FileList of all places, this was before my time (2005). is that true? revolt was created by disgruntled ex-filelist staff/members unhappy with the way filelist suddenly went all spammy like demonoid?

yeah that's right
I was one of those active fl members in that time
Admin wanted it to go p2l, and closed the classic forums creating fileforums
http://www.fileforums.org/
to be one forum for the 3 sites (list, mp3, porn)
Just wonder if FL had smarter admin, how fl would be now, it was one of the best community with the best coders and 150000 when 2004 ended

Contrary to the people that say "just post good stuff, it will find you" this is bullshit. Sites like revolt or wheelmods, don't comb FST looking for possible users. The site's are perfectly content with their current userbase. No one is trying to be an elitist...
