Yes
No
The attractiveness of a tracker boils down to the tracker exclusive content IMHO. Everyone needs general trackers, of course, but some of the very best ones are relatively easy to join. So a "high level" general tracker can simply not be as attractive as a "high level" tracker with specialised, tracker exclusive content, simply because you can easily find the content of that "high level general tracker" (God I hate this....) elsewhere. And as far as pre times are concerned, the differences are really marginal when it comes to 0day content.
Some sites do actually want the 'elitist' touch. This is likely influenced by the 'real scene', where this kind of attitude is prevalent.

There is one place where I offer my invites and if I asked the staff about it, they'd say it's a great site. I'm sorry for you, but I didn't start of at FST. Besides I ask for profile links 95% of the time, unless I know the person.
2.) It's a whole other thing mentioning a tracker and trading your way in or making a GA/REQ. IMO.
I'm back. The downside is that I'm also old now.
If you havent noticed which you havent, there are no E**** GA, Trades or mentioning. LOL, what kind of tracker you are talking about. I'm talking about respected trackers that many users pursue and your probably talking about some garbage tracker that invites everyone who is willing to spend 2 minutes writing a request.
Very simple way to stop trading.... Close down invites (like Hdbits did).... and its all the better for it.
why not simply requesting the tracker(s) you wish to get into?
no matter what the level is as long as the request is well-motivated with 'real' arguments (and not full of those sophisms we generally see in every single request).
for the record, i know at least one fst member who managed to get into FSC after making a decent request... so why not?

whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.
Then that leads to account trading.
Really though, I'm against trading and haven't done it before. I tend to agree with cinephilia in that with a good request it's possible to get into nearly any tracker.
This whole thread is devolving into a gigantic flamewar though. Really, with such subject matter of course that was bound to happen.
It's not realistic for trading to be stopped completely. If trading was forbade on this forum, users would just move to others. Better for there to be a large, easily monitored forum to view trading activity than to have to sort through the splinter forums that would be created if trading was stopped here. History has shown that prohibition rarely works and often backfires. Totally prohibiting trading here would just make the whole trading situation worse.
yes or no - nothing will change. delate started exactly the same thread not so long ago. skizo posted something about wind, i don't remember for sure what, but it was mean that trade will allowed here
