    OK maybe you're missing my point. OC I know what goes on here, it doesn't mean I always agree. Although these type threads can take place here, it doesn't mean they should. FST allows what the users want, which is great, but it's childish and irresponsible for people to start these threads WITHOUT PROOF and then they and others bash the sites they are started about. It annoys me to no end how people can just say what they will, again WITHOUT PROOF, and others simply jump on the bandwagon.

    I consider B a friend, sure, but so all are clear I'm not so much defending him as I am condemning people talking shit without proof to back it up.

    As far as the platform FST provides for traders and such, how the fuck is that relevant? Let's try and keep up shall we Be warned if you care to discuss this further I'll probably pwn you in that discussion as well. Start a new thread but be sure to gather your facts first as I've been defending FST for ages again some of the best out there. Do I agree with all of their policies, no, one of the reasons I don't work here anymore, but overall I stick by the site so do your research first bud

The anti piracy side is sticking together and sharing info on our kind going after whomever they can and winning! While we just gather to bitch about a bullshit rumor, great job
    How can all stick together when one site provides a platform to break "rules" of other and then differences are created.Anti Pirates stick together because they have only 1 rule "Stop Piracy".(unless they start race wars to determine who catches whom first lol)

    You consider Brandon to be a friend but others dont,so why dont they get some proofs?Afterall not everyone is close as you.For example details of the account freeze of paypal etc.How should people blindly believe the stuff being said?Show the proofs and shut people's mouth or are you saying people should just donate and just STFU no questions asked?

    I am not here to pwn anyone or to get pwned.I am here to express my views.

    As I mentioned,this is one of the characteristics of FST.You know that,I know that.There is no use saying STFU because such threads will keep on popping and continue because

    Great use of the quote tags there. I am not saying to donate blindly, I am saying donate if you want to, if not that's fine too but claiming something is true without proof is just foolish.

    Also as I said I'm not going to debate FST's policies in this thread, if you like start a new one. I'll be there

    So let me get this straight, you are suggesting that FTN needs to show proof of what happened to them?? After all they do for the masses now they need to worry about getting proof for a few morons who feel like posting shit about them? Grow up.


    more to come... gotta get the kids

    For morons?FTN has an obligation to be transparent to their donors.Why is that they dont get any proofs?btw not related to the discussion at hand but why do you think people donated to FTN?Just curious thats all and can you explain what they do for the masses that any other Gen/0 day out there dosent do?

    LOL Ok here goes.

    Firstly Yes MORONS! Secondly they don't "owe" anyone shit! Not the donors, not you and I, nobody. Being a member there is not a right it's a privilege. As with any other site I had a knowledge of being picked on this way I'd say the same thing, and have in the past. A while back it was supertorrents and I'm sure if you look up my old comments there they would sound basically the same.

    They don't have to prove a god damn thing to anyone. They, as I said 3 times now, are providing us a service out of their own time and sometimes money. Now you say they need to prove something to us? Like they haven't done enough! Donate or don't I don't care That's not my point. Talking shit with no proof is what irks me. Not only in this instance either whenever I come across morons posting in this manner I usually speak up. Personally I would give the site the benifit of the doubt before proven otherwise. It's nothing special just a basic courtesy.

    What do they do for us that others don't? Nothing that comes to mind ATM, but again that's not the point. Any site I cared for that this was happening to I'd give the same remarks I have in this thread.

    Why do people donate? I couldn't speak for these people mainly because I don't know them really. If i had to guess though I imagine some of them donated to help out a site that has been very good to them over the years, to give back after being given so much. Hell maybe some hoping to get invites. Again I don't know peoples motives so i guess you'll have to track them down individually or start a thread and see.

    Detale,First of all when a site asks for donations like countless times repeatedly,the tracker in reality is run by the people who donate.Without money the tracker dosent exists.And you say "the tracker dosent owe anything?".If this was the case of what.cd I would have said they owe nothing but FTN?

    "Donate or the tracker is no more" was what FTN said.Its not what you care.

    When the tracker doesnt give proof,it irks the members.

    So why is that you find FTN unique from others and why do you like it?

    Ok so now I feel like you're not even reading my replies. I don't staff at FTN so I don't care if anyone donates, It wasn't why I posted in here. I posted because there were accusations made without proof.

    This is probably the most ignorant statement you have made yet

    "Detale,First of all when a site asks for donations like countless times repeatedly,the tracker in reality is run by the people who donate"

    Umm, no. Those who have donated are awesome and a great help sure. They do not run the tracker. The staff runs the tracker. There are many sites who ask for donations repeatedly and not due to an unfortunate circumstance either. Is it annoying at times, sure, but that's their business. It takes money to run a tracker that keeps up with today's speeds. Servers cost big bucks. Sites do "aggressively fund raise" yeah I've seen it too, but FTN did it this one time due to a problem they had, how can you possibly compare??

    Yup, I stand by trackers don't owe you shit statement. It's called a donation no a payment. If we were paying them the accountability would be needed but tis not the case

    The tracker didn't give proof and it only seemed to irk a few morons as far as I can see. ATM there are 4814 members and how many have come here to complain?? OK then. Like I said a few morons.

    I clearly said that FTN is not unique in the matter of this thread. I like it because I do, that's all the explanation I feel like giving. It's not like I owe you anything either, or do you feel like I do?

    You know I'm starting to see a trend develop here. It seems that you feel like people owe you explanations alot. Who is it that you think you are and why are you so entitled?

    LOL, I know, I used to hate when that one was pulled on me. It does however make sense in this case.

    Because hosting a tracker in the United States is downright foolish. The cops will knocking in no time.
