There are plenty of veterans to this scene that frequent the site, and hopefully continue to help guide newer users. There are also not too many limiting rules on this board, which is why some people view us as a 'trade forum', and nothing more. FST is whatever you decide to make of it. You would think such a big public forum would bring in many n00bs to torrenting, and then they would see and learn from the vets, but from what I've noticed, a good portion of active new users turn out to be sketchy people with questionable histories already present in this scene. Which makes trusting and helping new users somewhat difficult, unless you can constantly see the brightside and ignore cynicism.
If you see forums are a one-way route into those hard-to-get trackers, you would probably have an easier time in your private invite forums. You might not get everything from there, but what you do end up getting comes alot easier.
