Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.....
I'm sure whatever you are saying, or not saying, is quite cleaver.Either you are failing at sarcasm (I really don't feel the need to read all of your posts, especially if your comment here is pointless) or you are to be taken literally which is probably just as bad.

Am not sure what cine and tehmartinator are on about,but i think cine is right regardless.I recall a while back when I used to swear by irc(i'd probably be the biggest junkie after silverwaves by now),you never heard of levels and all this l33+ vs n00b tracker bullshit.
A torrent site was a torrent site and you were happy just so long as it had what you wanted(hell I didn't even know SCC was P2I till after I was brought in).As for invite swapping,yes it happened and it continues to happen today though in a very weird way.If you've been on sites with old timers(FST for example),you've seen how for trade-like their invite requests can read though in essence they are not really trading,that's exactly how i've seen it in irc,I give you an invite then I make you promise that when you get yours i'll be the first one on queue.Of course there has to be friendship for such promises to hold,i'll call it friends swapping invites for lack of a better term and if you ain't on it already,its exactly what happens here at times even with folks on that anti-trader lynch group on TPS(you know yourselves).
If you keep a dupe account,try applying for an invite from someone looking for tracker X.Post your ratio doodlings minus tracker X followed by a nice explanation as to why you are best qualified for the invite.Log out then login to your other dupe account and make an exaggerated ratio screenie showing you hasing alot of invi to tracker X.If you keep a cat,let her walk on the keyboard a couple of times and post whatever she has typed as your reason for wanting the vait,post your request and see which one of your dupe account is going to get it.We are all ambitious now aint we![]()
He's not that big of a moron.. He's a Grocery store clerk that is trying to make enough money to go to college.. At least he's trying right?
On topic: "Trading is as bad as public giveaways" I forgot who said this first but I support his opinion. When it comes down to it, banning traders is just a tool used by staffers because most of the time they are bored and they need something to do.
Trading is also an excuse to disable as many accounts as possible so more invites are sold.. I don't have time to go over this but i think i have an old post explaining how trackers make more money by disabling accounts..(take bitmetv, BTmusic for example)

Pffffft. I'm absolutely sure if you gave staffers on trackers an option between spending their time dealing with cheaters, traders and moronic users, and actually being able to spent that time productively developing their site, universally they'd rather be doing the latter.
Ultimately, its down to the owners and admin on any site what conditions and rules they impose on their members. Its their party, they're the ones with their necks on the line (see Oink as a prime example), if you want to use their site then you should follow their rules. That's not really a great deal to ask of any reasonable person, but then the internets and "reasonable" don't often seem to go well together![]()
Do mathematics there is like to be a sheep in a flock. Have you ever followed all the rules that you had seen ? I don't think so.
Mathematics ARE NOT acts. Theory ≠ Practice.

There are the good traders that just traded to have a tracker that they want to use and the bad traders that are thinking to 0MFG lVL 9 tR4K3R ! that they will never use...
