Is that F** or F**?
Also I know you aren't being serious but if you subscribe to the rules/intent of the thread you never know.
Btw in all seriousness I've invited people who have failed utterly places both big and small ( as have I on certain trackers/forums for various reasons ) so I doubt you could turn out worse than them (or me). So simple advice never sell yourself short and instead of thinking " why me" try approaching everything with the attitude of "why not?"
Btw I really totally wasting my time with this whole thread again aren't I?

Respect my lack of authority.
I think so yeah. I see a lot of sarcasm and jokes unfortunately. If you really are trying to find the right people to invite, I think that in itself is difficult. I'm surprised though. I would think all those users that FST has will come up to you by now asking for invites to trackers, but I guess not.
The "regulars" here so to speak don't need invites, or if we do they certainly won't be obtained through this thread. It's quite a different atmosphere to other places where the regulars became regulars because they were desperate for invites to FTN/whatever. As for the rest of them, they're either traders that won't be considered or they're too lazy to write out more than a few words in a request.

I'd like an invite to FTN, mostly because I've been a victim of hype and I'm curious. The problem is that is that it is very hard very hard to think of a good reason to make proper request for it. The content is scene so it's not unique, I have SCC so I have more packs available to me that I could ever download. I do not know what the community is like so I cannot say I want it for it. I can't say I'm a great user (as in REALLY active) at all sites I'm in, but I keep a good ratio always, and I follow rules (they're pretty reasonable most of the time anyway). I'm even a VIP on one small music tracker. I do not trade, I do not cheat, etc. A forum is always fun to me, I like reading them; I heard a lot of staff from other sites post there, so I'm interested in lurking that. But other than that I can't say I have a great reason but I would appreciate it.
Totally serious question. I have a friend that probably finds it demeaning to involve himself with this thread. He's a really nice person, and he's been reasonably active on FST. I don't know why he hasn't thrown his one request in around here recently, but I'm sure that he still wants it.
Advice on how I should proceed to convince him to join in on this fun?
P.S. No, the person is definitely not me.
Ellipses go here.
Like my previous thread I was sort of hoping (against hope ) that I might actually get a few people just asking for something innocuous because they had some interest in something or other and up to this point weren't so entrenched/ jaded/blase in/about the whole bt tracker scene that they would make a simple request and I could maybe help them out .
You know in all my time here I think the least "exotic" tracker anyone has ever asked me for was TL and considering you pretty much need to donate to guarantee obtaining invites there they aren't even the easiest invites to come by.
Actually I too really appreciate the refreshing honesty .
Both you and elbuitre are more than welcome to PM me any proof or anything else you might want to tell me.
I should let you know though that I don't have any invites at the moment or am I certain that I ever will again but for someone who will be an obvious asset to that site I might be able to swing one.
Umm I think you should talk to maybe MegaBitMe or Rart first though and ask them what they think.
Totally serious answer I find it a bit disconcerting that your friend finds this thread demeaning as it is far from my intent .I'm not asking anyone to beg here.I am only trying to elicit a few honest,sincere hopefully well-thought out requests which I may or may not be willing/able to fill . Appearances to the contrary I do take the responsibility very seriously though and will not think less of anyone for asking me for anything.I am only trying to help people here .
Simple as that end story.
That and I get sick of all the "high level " trading threads and I would find it personally satisfying to see someone "get" into someplace from less than nefarious means here.
Btw you notice HDbits( the member not the site) managed to get himself into HDbits ( the site not the member) and first thing he does is start trying to trade any invites the acquired account has.
I'm no genius but my spidey sense is telling me someone bought himself an account.So much for "loving " and respecting the place.
