nice discussion people.I am reading each new post, and I am proud that this topic get us talking about such topics. This topic for itself, get us close![]()
Once in a while a real BT topic get a good discussion going on; and this on is good example. There are a lot of level headed people posting in Fst, many of them are members of 'good' trackers and are here not to ask for invite. I would not be wrong to say that the big majority of those frequent posters are already 'there'.
People who come here to just get invite hardly ever post in this section of the forum, and people with the invite to give out know when not to give. I have been here for quite a while and have never start a invite request thread, But I got invited to good tracker via pm inspite of never expressing an intention.
I belive that many staff from trackers that openly hate this site still do check in and read what is going on; they just would not admit it.

nice laugh? idea against that which is FST? your main point of the thread it's dead?
sure you didn't read this topic at all, so you have your miserable opinion...
give me a break.
and of course you are a trader. I could imagine that before reading one of your last posts.
Why would a trader's opinion be less valuable than any random member from this forum?
There isn't much to add to what has been said previously here.
I would just add the part where a place like FST needs to exist, in its actual philosophy, flawed or not. whether some people at some places dislike it, it obviously would always have to happen, as trading and giveaways are allowed here. Whatman explained it very well at another thread recently.
Any people can come here, at any given time, and recruit a member to his site. At every site I'm at actually, and i entered via invitation, was from people at FST. And there was never any official recruiters here.
Having explicit recruiters here would only make members have biased opinions on any given subject, driven to please potential recruiters. And all intellectual discussions wouldn't take place. Just visit TPS, to have an idea about what I'm talking.
The ratio of douchebaggery there has climbed to extremely high levels, beating FST's golden times. This place has evolved a lot since those days, as now I can't think of a harder place to get your request fulfilled, unless you're quite a good fellow. Scrutiny is thorough, by other members, a thing you can't see anywhere else. There, you can only post to say good things and kisses + hugs. Here, if you try to request something with a second intention, you're fucked.
I'll give you a practical example: do you see any other place where a place like FSC is requested so often? no. Why? Because people know their dudes come here more often than not, and actively scourge this place for useful additions. Now imagine how chaotic it would be if there was any official recruiter here. God help them!
As for requests, you can see something like 1% being fulfilled (since I'm here, going to 3 years, I can only remember 2). This means that FST's inherent mechanic does work somehow, as many people here get recruited, and it's not via requests. Take this as a good example how things work positively both ways.
Oh, and for those who still didn't get it, filesharing is much more than actively hunting for invites.
