I agree with stoi, but how I wonder has stoi only put out 10 torrents on BCG?

I'm still fairly new, so I don't know everything, but was stoi not the original Owner or something?

maybe she was referring to the Countdown Timer on the homepage, counting the days till the tracker closes?

or was that the donation meter?

users can choose what sites they want to go to and if they want to donate or not. I've run lots of free Internet projects and never started one I (or the group) couldn't pay for ourselves. If donations help with costs, great, if they support a project, amazing! if they don't oh well...

...and if youre sitting there thinking youre going to start a tracker that pays for itself and makes you money, I've got a bridge in downtown Brooklyn for sale

I am the original owner, when we first started 7 years ago i was the only one to upload, i done 100`s but we were a public tracker like h33t.

Then we went to a ratio tracker so again had to start from scratch, so again uploaded crap loads to get the members in.

From then on we have been hacked and moved servers 3 times but we have had the same core members. so since 2006 (when we got hacked and when we had the members already) i have done 10 or so, but before then it was 1000`s and i have lost TBs over the years.

Just to be devils advocate here, but when you start a tracker, you have no members, so the only one that can put the content on is the owner, because without content, no users would come or stop.

OK after a while the owner can sit back and let the users get on with it, if he so wishes, but the owner has to put more into it, than just creating the place in the first place.

I agree, but my only point was that it wasn't a one way deal, both users and owner must work at it. Each has their role, and to make a successful tracker both must do their job well.

On an unrelated note, bumrocks is still a little cunt.

I hope you understand there are different degrees of importance regarding trackers from preference, and its foolish to expect anyone to do anything to help any trackers that are of any importance. Would love to see you back up your statement and donate to every single tracker you're a member of, now matter what you take from the site.

Did I use the word 'donate' even once?

//Edit: in terms of ways of being helpful towards the site, that is. Donating is not the only way of helping out ya know.

Do yer bit by seeding stuff you download, or help others on IRC or forums. That counts towards helping the site as well.
Merely pitching in towards server costs is just one way of 'helping out'.

It was a fair assumption considering this thread is about money problems, and your first two sentences were on topic about members needing to donate money. Don't know what preaching that you think everyone should help on IRC and follow the general site rules has to do with CN failing
