You mean this one?...

Because it's never too late to reveal something for what it apparently is

There are 118 "IMAGiNE" releases in total at UTN. Of these, 46 are "IMAGiNE Internals" which can’t be found outside of UTN (we checked) however, these 46 are only available to the VIP userclass (good luck getting to that, read on). UTN does have a bonus system for which points can be swapped for one month of VIP access, although it costs a whopping 10,000 points. Since UTN’s seed-point system is extremely cheap whereby it only pays out a maximum of 120 points per day (max. 5 torrents X 24 hours), in a best-case scenario it will take 83.3 days to obtain 10K points (enough to purchase 4 weeks of temp VIP). This is clearly no accident; members who want to be able to download IMAGiNE’s exclusive releases are far better served by donating, which begins at $5 for 4 weeks of temporary VIP access (or $100 for permanent VIP status). Is this worth it for 46 exclusive releases? You be the judge.

saw this comment today. This is a real fact revealing comment.

I hope this isn't becoming a bigger trend

AlphaOmega (AO) was started by a group of guys that met on various top name private trackers. Most had been staff at some point or another.
They decided that it was time from them to come together and do things the way they couldn’t on other trackers. This staff used their abilities and experience working behind the scenes of a torrent site to build a site that would rival all others. AO was designed to blow past all others, and leave them in the dust pulling up their pants. AO’s staff is composed of elitists in the torrent world, composed of the top coders, racers, uploaders, and designers.

The site structure is something that has never been seen before. We are pulling releases from top group access on multiple gbit servers. At this point, each torrent is seeded from multiple gbit servers, meaning you will see the greatest speed possible. These releases are auto-uploaded meaning the pre-times are some of the best.

The site is beginning with seed-box only as the means of uploading and download, this provides much high speeds and is fairly rare in the tracker world. The site will never have open sign ups. Once the first round of users have been invited then they each will be given a number of invites. AlphaOmega will make it easy for members to invite friends, This is part of AO’s plan to make this the highest quality private tracker out there."

Btw

The site structure is something that has never been seen before.

isn't completely true because in my short time in private trackers I've already seen plenty that were run by (apparently) very young people that for reasons non-apparent also considered themselves to be somehow "better " than anyone else.

That I'm posting this in the Imagine thread is just happy coincidence .

Idol, those 2 trackers are going into same direction ( I think)

AlphaOmega sound like a buch of copycats and I really sincerely doubt any of the claims they make. At least UtN has IMAGiNE, who most people have heard of because of their fine releases, and many other well-known p2p groups & encoders are also active there. Who the heck are these guys behind AlphaOmega? So what if they used to staff some places. There's a million little shitty ass unknown trackers, so becoming tracker staff these days isn't even as hard or prestigious as it used to be. I haven't heard word from any of the major trackers about this, no rumors floating around in the forums. Which makes this all highly suspect. They have no credibility and no name value, which makes it laughable to believe they have all the amazing connections they claim to have.

I think you are missing my point but just let me say that basically everything about bt is laughable even places of assumed prestige if you really think about it.

I mean who gives or rightfully should give a royal fuck if site A is faster ,has better encodes ,scene ax or for that matter even exists. It's not like they are feeding the world's starving and not like any of us needs to pirate movies/TV/games to have a good and fulfilled life.
Same way actually that anything we say or do here is laughable if you choose to look at it that way.
What they and we do is something frivolous and done entire for fun.A fact that certain elements seem to have totally forgotten.

The difference though ,( back to my point) or the only one that really matters is that some of us are ( hopefully) self aware enough to stifle our egos , realize the fundamental inconsequentially of what we are doing and ( again hopefully) act accordingly ..
