Trusted members get the invites, and invite trusted members with them. 'Trusted' doesn't always mean the most worthy mind you.
Some places you'd be hard pressed to join without knowing staff in one way or another; there's always the chance you may know staff, but not be aware of it
If you are really aspiring to join places like this, it will be much easier if you are giving something back to the [bittorrent] community as a whole. Take from that what you will.
Not just to get invites. I've got plenty of friends from which I won't get a single invite. I will probably give them invites. Saying that you make friends on such forums, just to be able to talk to them is just wrong. That's the wrong way, the way of lying to yourself and others.
You tell me that you made a friend that was a member of a tracker you had wanted to join and you never even thought of asking him if he could be possibly able to get you in and I'll show you a liar.
In time you probably will find people online that have the same interests as you (I'm talking about RL here, say they like the same sports, work in the same field, study in the same field, etc.) and it might just happen that they are way more important than you in the BT community as a whole. That's what happened to me at least and I know I'm not alone.
For me it's important to hang out with people of different ages. And I have found them at one place (we can all agree that 95% of FST members are teens or people in their early 20s). I really consider a lot of people there as my friends and we talk about other stuff than BT most of the time.
PS: Cabalo, I'm not in the e-drama profession anymore, so I guess you'll be lonely from now on.
PS2: I never asked any of my friends for an invite, they were offered.
PS3: If I only make friends to get invites from them, then why am I poting here? To bash people?!

I'm back. The downside is that I'm also old now.
on a side note...
If all the members on these trackers are as trusted as they claim...why on the other day I found on some other forum (not here) an a**hole trying 2 sell his u*-* account for 200 bucks???!!!
I know he may be a scammer that'll probably husle u but what if he's really on the tracker??
Does a guy like him deserve 2 be on such a tracker??!!
how did he enter here in the first place??!!

Believe it or not these trackers do recruit members. There are precious few threads out there for some, and none for others but there are a few staffers everywhere that'll sometimes just go out and see if there are some decent people worth inviting. Generally people who make these kinds of threads tend not to get such invites.
