{Req} FTN

[kooltilldend]

lol @ the pic comment

as for your q...i don't really have an answer tbh...smaller communities are indeed nicer but as you also said, ain't nothing beating FSC (i agree!)

anyways why didn't I request PTM? well you just posted a lot of useful info that I simply did not know before (never even heard much about PTM hence the no-research on my part)...would it be ok if I requested PTM now though?

I'll still insist however...FTN intrigues me...maybe its the name, maybe its because I've heard about the place so often...I can't put my finger on what it is...but its just something about the site (well I don't even know that since I'm not there)

one thing you said though is very true...FTN is perhaps more of a curiosity factor whereas, PTM may actually be genuinely good for me...you know what, I'll be sure to make my next request PTM...it sounds like a hidden gem like IPT (which is exactly what I look for in a "tracker" - FSC's not a "tracker" for me so it doesn't count...its a "community" btw for those wondering)

Well I can't say that he doesn't enjoy FSC. He has shown great dedication towards the site. But I kinda agree with the ones who think that requesting FTN so short after getting another request filled is pretty stupid in many ways.

Did you think that just because your FSC-request got filled that you might as well try for FTN, somehow thinking that your chances are really good for it to get filled aswell?

Don't get me wrong, I really don't dislike in any way. Quite the opposite. But I have to ask you the same question as Cabalo.

Can't say that I don't want you to get what you want. So good luck I guess.

[Cabalo]

you don't need to request PTM, i'll personally invite you.
just close this, imo.

FTN was my favorite site for a long time but I don't think it is really worthwhile and I haven't spent much time there in the last 6+ months. Based on the fact that the sysop posted a question about why users reached the then highest user class and stopped using the site, I assume many folks do the same. There are a few hardcore oldschool folks who all are pretty cool as are the staffers.

But for the last year or so it seems the only people joining are a bunch of seedbox whoring, avatar requesting, nonsense spamming kids.

PTM is a freakin awesome site. It is probably one of the best out there right now.

please spare us the spam on the 'intro thread' if you do get in..

Name me a tracker that isn't like that ?
To be fair though probably the older members thought that we were/are a bunch of tards when we joined.
I think most people really have to be on a site and contribute for a while before they feel confident enough to not just post in the spam threads.

As for the ratio whoring sadly most people get invited to trackers based on fact they have uploaded TBs somewhere else and when are then "rewarded" for being a cawk they don't have any incentive to stop.
I've actually complained about certain douches places, like this guy at a site I use a lot who never downloads anything but is always "helping out" with his box on torrents .

In a case like his I 'd boot him off , molest his mother and kick his dog .Or maybe the other way around depending what his dog looks like.

Hi mbm,long time no chat .
Well i'll speak assuming that you are responsible for his fsc membership.In logic they'll say that its ok then for us to assume that perhaps your views on him are subjective,no?.

Personally I don't have a problem with him nor do I care if someone sees the good in inviting him.But one thing that has thrown me off about all this is the utter dishonesty and the fact that he refuses to acknowledge it.

Why wouldn't he have just said from the onset that I want to be on ftn because I don't know why I want to be on ftn?

It would have been ridiculous but at least it would have saved him the lies.

Hi sez!

Sorry I'm a bit late in responding to this, but I am waking from a VERY restful night of sleep involving Ambien and Lunesta. I am writing this through one very grog filled head...

I can see why someone would see me as a champion of kool. And even, perhaps, the one who invited him on FSC. Actually, I had nothing to do with the first. I read the thread, but only participated in response to a funny comment made by KushBlow...



During the FSC thread, I remained neutral- if not disinterested.

As I mentioned in my last post (the one requesting kool's reopening of the thread), I find this personally interesting. There are many of us who are (dare I say) trusted, or at least known in the community who refrain from "having a look around" or trying new "elite sites" because we don't want to face such a long, drawn out trial (for a lack of a better word, but I think it is fairly accurate).

The invite process becomes a popularity contest or a reasoning skills challenge, rather than a security device or quality filter.

kool seems like a good guy and I appreciate his efforts on this site and FSC. He has involved himself in a lot of the different clubs there and has brought some new life. However, I do not know him. He is not on my friend's lists (yet) and we have only crossed posts occasionally on FSC.

He is, however, in the exact same spot I would find myself in if I got so "bold" as to request FTN. I have pondered this for a while now. Instead of getting a quick reply that says, "Welcome, I hope you enjoy the site!" there would be 5+ pages of questions, drama, and suspicions. And why? kool and I show no risk to the site in any way. We are contributors, are usually friendly (although I still hate that BrianH guy...Grrrr!), and bring something to the table. Neither of us engage in any of the BT taboos- trading, buying/selling, etc.

So I want to know (and this is why I asked for the thread to be reopened) what is it that "the jury" is hoping to accomplish by keeping suitable members out of desirable sites? There is no real shortage of space. The servers can handle at least one or two more of us. Heck, we can even sit in the living room with a folding card table for Thanksgiving dinner.

Honestly, there is no such thing as scarcity here. Why look for reasons to exclude "members in good standing"?

Well said megabyteme i think that if a member is social and shows potential on one "top site" is "trusted" and doesn't break the rules then there should be no reason for him not be part of another top site community if it is for back up variety or just the hell of seeing what all the talk's about in the specific tracker to the OP if you do get in then gl and enjoy both sites that you are part of

[kooltilldend]

damn this thread just doesn't die lol...and what's more it keeps coming back to me...and as y'all should know by now...if it involves me, I simply must respond

so here goes:

@newyork...you are right...its too early to request anything...but like I said, I was merely trying my luck tbh...doesn't hurt to do that, does it?...besides as megabyte says...its not about "when" i requested, its about "what" i requested along with "why" i requested...and in that sense, I have no sugar-coated answer that will satisfy everyone (just like megabyte doesn't)

@cabalo...you are still too awesome hehe...thanks mate!

as for this thread...i'll still let it go...I'm loving the convo's (don't care so much about the invite anymore though)

@TrollinThunder...thanks for that info!...that said, I doubt there's any trackers out there (again excluding FSC - or perhaps even FSC to an extent) that don't have that kind of spamming going on among them...still even if FTN manages to "rank" second "only" to FSC...that's not a very bad tracker to be on, is it? ^^

@n00bz0r...lol i doubt i'd get in after the chaos this thread has created...and heck even if I did...I never spam the intro thread

@IdolEyes...if it helps, I have another thing going in my favor then lol...I have only hit 1TB on one site and there too, its 1TB d/l'ed against 900+gb u/l'ed (so yeah although that's something that goes in my favors...as one staffer once mentioned, I'm rubbish at maintaining the high ratios lol...despite admittedly seeding for seemingly ages)

@megabyteme...dude you are too awesome....really, I don't have words to tell how fookin' brilliant you are at expressing opinions...I'm really impressed honestly...mind if I become friends with you? (msn, yahoo, etal)

cheers dude...you really helped a lot in this thread since you are absolutely wicked at explaining things (and i'm absolutely rubbish lol)

@Totti..thanks for the support mate...I'll vouch for megabyteme too though if he ever intends/does request FTN...and ofcourse if I'm there (that's a pretty darn big if though lol) and have requests (even more unlikely ) then you know who I'll be inviting (if he still needs an invitation - which I genuinely doubt)

cheers fellas!
