Happy Birthday BitmeTV

[IdolEyes787]

Nothing would have been done for the birthday if staff didn't push VERY hard to have them done according to the admins I spoke to in irc. Sounds like you are assuming and are very very wrong.

Well from what I can see according to the posts vs surprises - a lot of posters are now eating their words.
I much prefer something done than nothing and I think the slot and ratio boosts were a good idea as they were not seedbox orientated. A nice and original idea that was much fairer than any freeleech.

You're joking right?
Now I'm sure this will come out sounding like I am a totally ungrateful slob but 5 GB for 5 years on a site that eats GBs for breakfast?
As I said I am not blind to the time ,effort and commitment put into the site and I am ,your perception to the contrary ,not ungrateful for anything they do for the members.
The whole point, the only point ,that I was trying to make here is that it shouldn't be presented as some big incredibly generous end all be all when it isn't.
If I ( and it's not going to happen) ran a site like that and was giving similar credit I would have made a simple understated announcement "Hey it's our birthday here's 5 GB for everyone (and some junk that is simple site upgrade and not a "present " at all ) for supporting the site.Thanks."
Instead of acting like it was the second coming of Jesus H Christ.

Like I said I'm sure you and others will no doubt take this the wrong way and if you do there is nothing I can do about it but I think if I tell someone I know that I have a amazing birthday present for them in a couple weeks and then the day comes and I go "Look the city painted the bus you ride on ,Happy Birthday".Good intent or not I'm still a bit of an ass aren't I ?

The slots are a welcome addition, though. I can't even recall how many times I noticed people complaining about how they need more slots on the forums.

Yes but aren't more upload slots equally beneficial to the tracker as the member?

yes it helps the tracker since things stay seeded longer but it helps the non-seedbox owner the most since now they can seed more older torrents instead of having to delete old ones to get the new ones. For Elite members they can now pretty much seed everything on their computer instead of just a select few and have the others just sitting there. Slots are by far the best thing so far out of the surprises
