Maybe you didn't know, but we do have access to everything typed, even if afterwards edited or deleted. And I mean, everything. Once typed, it can never disappear.

Edit histories for the win!

did i just revealved the truth of "closed elite tracker"?

You didn't reveal anything that was sooo secretive.
Those 110usd you were talking about were even talked in public in a board like btracs (yeah, sometimes I do read other forums, the sleazy ones preferably).
Those agents you refer to are mostly people who buy and sell FSC's invites at several boards and auctions and then resell them. A stupid pyramid scam.
Also, FYI, I'm also aware of the story fatcat69 is behind that, and that's a whole different matter I won't bother comment on.

..... I have 100mbps server. ...

Are you sure ?!!

nobody cares if you have fast speed or other things. Unless you can provide content to the site like BDs, HDTV caps and encodes nobody is gonna invite you unless you are a friend of staff or VIP.

or you pay for it to some crappy seller

I don't about you guys, but here's what I know
in order to unite the community you have to create a common enemy.. Traders & Sellers (Mostly sellers), just make the problem soo big by saying that on XMAS we'll have the invites activated.. and then say that you won't because of traders and sellers.
That's it, now people hate sellers more than ever, now YOU (staff) can sell invites to people and since if you don't upload new stuff it's not that easy to survive on HDBits these buyers will be disabled soon, some $$ in the pocket + 1 row in the database.

I can't say for sure, but I think staff on some "1338" trackers are selling invites.

off-topic, @Ice10UFO, I like your sig, 10/10

I don't think it says much about staff at HDbits or anywhere else for that matter if all normal requirements suddenly vanish simply because they choose, as in the case of friendship or that someone simply staffs another tracker, to make it so .

Besides being pretty hypocritical ( argue" it's their site they can do whatever they like" all you want you know it is ) it's proved many places to be a recipe for disaster.

Anyway often the only thing such "closed communities" create is stagnation, fear (members so afraid of doing something wrong and getting tossed they resort to non-participation instead ) and increased desirability in trading/selling circles.

Your obliviously not a member and have no idea what you are talking so stfu. The site provides its own content that its users buy, not just some crappy scene site. If new members want to join they are gonna have to contribute, at HDBits that means contribute new original HD content. The only way the community could stagnate is if Blurays and HDTV suddenly stops being made which won't happen.

Look at this site for example its open signup but stagnant because retards run around on it unchecked. That's a great fucking stance to have.

Miss the point much?
I said that based on what I have heard , inclusion in that site( seeing that it chooses to be closed) should be based entirely on knowledge /skill concerning HD and not apparently on the whim of staff( as you cited yourself) as it appears to be now.

[hotshot6473]

Well did you miss my original point that if you have HD knowledge then you will be found and invited. But staff can bring whoever they want in also because they run the site(that's the same with every site)
