I may be able to help, just one question though what will the content of the tracker be? If it's just another 0day I have little interest if it has a unique idea behind it I would be more willing to help.

My sig, back to being better than anon-sbi's.
O and if anyone has FTN invite and just don't know what to do with it give it to me
Lots of questions to answer. In no particular order;
Well, it's kind of hard to prove without showing you the code, and for the time being we want to keep it closed.Please prove you have a from the ground up tracker.
Not really, trackers just allow users to communicate between each other. The data transferred is minimal. Lots of memory is more valuable because you want to keep your seed/peer list in a binary tree. Or some other kind of fast access data structure.Don't you need a top-notch "server" computer so that you can handle any of the website processes, in addition to a large hard drive, possibly about a couple of Terabytes, maybe even more, for the torrents themselves.
We decided to write everything from the ground up because we were not pleased with the codebase that tbdev or gazelle offered. We also wanted a more object oriented approach, making it much easier to add new features, etc.just out of pure curiosity, why have you chosen to write a tracker from the grounds up and not use the tbdev/gazelle templates? Which programming languages have you used to do so?
We have opted to use a PHP frontend powered by 2 levels of caching (local, and memcached). With the ability to use an abstract database technology, we currently run on Oracle. Our tracker is written with C with Non-blocking I/O.
Logistics is more of a concern to us at the moment then programming. We have a decent stylesheet and 2 programmers that have been working on the software for a little while now. We are mostly looking for people who can contribute to the growth of the website (seeders, etc..) and suggest new features.If you want a piece of advice from someone who have been around a bit and knows the sort of people who roam these forums, you would be better off looking for staffers and especially people who are proficient in coding/styling a tracker elsewhere.
We have 2 programmers working on the website. At the moment the website and tracker are completely functional. The programming aspect we have a lot of experience in, staffing the site is the hole we are looking to fill.May I ask who exactly are the "we" you were referring to, and what experience do you and your current staff have in coding/staffing a tracker?
No, the complete codebase was written from scratch.And I'd assume further they just took one of the more obscure codebases and modified it.
Right, we are looking for people to come up with some creative ideas to make the site unique, which our programmers will implement.I may be able to help, just one question though what will the content of the tracker be? If it's just another 0day I have little interest if it has a unique idea behind it I would be more willing to help.
If you want short-term help, as in start-up help, how to go about it, ideas, what to do, connections to certain people (with certain skills) you might need, what works and what doesn't in the torrent world etc. I'd be more than willing to help you. You have to know, though, I'm code-blind (doctors continue to tell me that I won't always be this way), so don't expect me to know what's possible or not right off the bat based from the code you've written.
Again, I'll echo my last message here. Provide me a different way of communicating with you. I'm not going to start talking about tracker start-ups on a public forum.
Ellipses go here.
Sure you can email me, thevoidz AT live DOT com

if its gazelle .. stoi wrote it ... yea yea yea yea
Recruiting staff on a public forum, that's going to turn out well >.<
Still looking for some people.
