To explain Burnsy's message in one line:
A tracker can remain alive with no seeders, but it can't without the donors.

bmost of "the best" torrent tracker in terms of content are those with big userbase. big userbase in private tracker usually implies retention. you have a whole lot of people snatching new torrents. then you have a lot of people snatching old torrents once in a while.I perfectly understand that, but you have to admit that it gets annoying not finding content that was only pre'd 6 months prior to you searching.
Look for a certain pattern in all the trackers that are called "the best" in their line of releases. Their oldest torrents are 3+ years old, with seeders still on it. There's no doubt that a proper retention is required of any tracker, even the biggest scene ones like SCC/TL etc.
vs. small tracker where max snatch is usually like 400 or so...and seeders on old torrents give up b/c noone leeches (that's what they say at least >.<)
if you want to see old 0-day stuff (in small 0-day tracker) that was pre'ed like 6 months ago use request section (if they have any).

No donors means no tracker to seed/upload on.
Chicken/egg, pretty much.

If TVcontrolyou is talking strictly dedicated trackers, then I see his point. Seeding a shitload of music torrents is way more helpful than donating a few dollars, or auto-ing all 2010 FLAC/v0 releases on kimsufi's.
On 0day sites, seeding for a long time isn't really that important. If it is any trouble or bother to you, you're probably better off deleting the torrent and saving yourself the grief than letting it idle in your client to be a statistic on the tracker. As long as a torrent gets snatches it will live. When snatches die off, it's not really crucial to 'archive' it. (0day ≠ general)

U isn't a word.If you mean the letter then although I can't really speak for it I think it's safe to assume that it too doesn't give a fuck.

but a tracker needs dedicated members in the first place to make people donate, is that so hard to understand for you?No donors means no tracker to seed/upload on.
Chicken/egg, pretty much.
