Miracles do happen (TV, PTM, PTN, FTN, ... drop from the sky from time to time)

On a completely random note (i figured id ask cuz this thread is spam anyways) why are ppl obsessed with the whole l33tness factor behind certain trackers, Ex. FTN when it has been said countless times that other trackers such as GFT(i think thats the right one) offer basically the same thing just without the exclusivity? and plz dont say community because honestly if you want good community make real friends, possibly get laid etc
sorry if im coming off as a douche its just how i feel

also #2 why do ppl scrutinize ppl making simple requests so mercilessly. I see this mostly in the case of e-learning trackers like bitme.
I understand making sure they arent traders and/or possibly getting their reasonings but why ask when a lot of the time the ppl arent even considering giving ppl an invite they just want to throw their reasons back in their faces and feel superior because they are in and others arent
o boy your e-peen is bigger than mine dont you feel special... Idk i just dont understand these things and it pisses me off i really just wish people would focus on the whole ideal of filesharing and this goes for every1 i think trading/selling etc goes against the whole idea also and view them as even lower than the previously aforementioned assholes but thats a whole different discussion
anyways thanks for your guys opinions on this and sorry if i distracted from the previous topics or start a flame war i dont mean to be rude im just curious

Although, lately I joined a couple like goem/myanonymouse (so technically 7) and am enjoying both quite a bit.

Same no. as you,I have around 7(although I ll let SDBits die as well soon).I once had around 25,most of them are now pruned I guess.

You actually told the answer yourself in that question,just to be called an FTN member and so that they are not left behind when some discussion in FST takes place about the site

Can't answer this one,tbh as an engineering student myself,I never preferred E-Books or educational materials on PC(real thing is better as long as you have teh budget to back it that is).Heck,what are the libraries for?

Not all people are obsessed with rarity, you know. The more sensible people realize that it doesn't matter. While rarity collectors tout the security horn, it's simply not true. Believe me when I say, a level 100 tracker can and will be infiltrated by the RIAA/MPAA should they wish to. The way laws/acts are coming out, too, we should all be severely limited on torrenting soon enough.

What I'm getting as, remember as a kid when you were interested in collecting bottle caps/coins/stamps/pokemon cards et cetera? The whole point was to have the rarer ones, so you could feel good. Unfortunately, people carried over that "Gotta Catch 'Em All" mentality to a protocol that doesn't need such ideologies. I've been offered FTN/TT/E a few times each, and always turned it down, because I have no use for them. Other people refuse to let their e-ego down and simply want to prove that they have good connections/know their way around exclusive uncharted lands, which is perfectly acceptable as long as they don't make it their actual dream.

I do it because in the spirit of file sharing, I'd rather give my invite to someone who will use the tracker, who will enjoy the tracker, and who will be a true asset to the community. I have no interest in anyone who just wants to have the tracker in their bookmarks bar, I'd rather someone who will enjoy it, use it, and be grateful (for the service the tracker offers, not for my favor) for it.
