    Good point

    But, its a site & I would hope a site wouldn't fuck people over being they want people in, correct?

    If your site was where at sign up, people who aren't a member can become one by paying a fee. Would you fuck them over?

    I'm guessing no, right? Therefor, I trust my money that way rather then someone from here or the net.

    But the whole point of this thread is.

    Would you pay to get into a site that was charging members for entry, like O-T or Desi-t if they still do it.

    It was not about paying for an invite from a complete stranger or an account/invite on Ebay.

    So your answer then after 4 posts, is yes you would and yes you have done, and you see nothing wrong with it.

    fine, we got there in the end lol

    you probably did, but everyone is going on about selling and trading invites, which has absolutely nothing to do with this thread at all, (which is typical BT, no one reads anything properly anymore) i got confused lol

    I believe Pedro's does that. But you can also get in with an invite there. So I think that's fair. If you don't have any friends you can buy yourself a membership. I bet the people who pay to get in are the best users. That said, I wouldn't pay to get in. I'm not that desperate, and I think I shouldn't have to pay for something I can get for free (yeah I know I'm cheap).
    I'm back. The downside is that I'm also old now.

    Nope, never. If I was going to pay for 'stuff' it would be from newsgroups. At least then I know I get full speed on all files available. Not gunna pay for some mystery tracker that may or may not have what I want, and it may have low seeder count on some stuff.

    Filesharing is supposed to be free, and with the exception of paying for bandwidth (newsgroups) it should remain that way. Trackers only need a webserver, and they take donation from willing members for those costs, which is also fine IMO, but none were required to pay for access.

    I believe that many would pay to get what they want. And theres also a question about how much it would cost and if it's worth it. If the tracker is that good and the only way to get in unless u spend huge amout of time doing stuffs u dont like, then hell ye, i would pay around 40$ to get access to F*N & P**** but i would not want to risk those $40 by buying it at ebay or such.

    Well i guess i'm not poor and that maybe will make some of u here mad at me. But remember this: time is money, money is time.

    you don't even say why you don't agree with it while you enumerate all the assets of a paying system... confusing.
    whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.
