And in that respect, MBM is very correct: it has nothing special going for it. Its just another tracker, and the content can easily be found elsewhere.
But lets be honest here. When someone sets their mind on something, when they want it enough, they aren't going to listen to other peoples advice. They tune out what they don't want to hear, and only listen to the advice that supports and furthers their own viewpoint. You most likely won't ever be satisfied with a "don't bother, it's overrated" naysayer until you've seen it for yourself. I can nearly guarantee you that you will be thoroughly disappointd with what FTN has to offer, but the reality is (to no fault of your own) that you will never believe me, until you actually see the content and try it for yourself (And I will admit, that I have most definitely, to a certain extent, suffered from this as well).
So what is my advice to you? Be honest with yourself. No one really wants it for its amazing content, or its amazing pretimes, or packs or whatever the hell else a tracker is judged by these days. People want it for one reason - they've already caved in to the massive amount of hype that surrounds it. You want FTN - as with many others - truly just to satisfy a curiosity, and nothing more. Maybe that gives the connotation of being a collector, and mabye that's a bad thing - but it's better than a lie. Be honest with Idol - why you really want it, why you're really after such a site - even if it's a bad one - and he may at some point take pity on you.
