    Let's not get carried away .Change the statement to "we have a few members who genuinely seed because they want the community to prosper , quite a lot who do so to appear proper in the sight of the staff and the community at large and some who don't really give a fuck " as do coincidentally pretty much any other site and it would be nearer to the truth.
    Those people who actually care but are largely unsung should be applauded everywhere , not just at "special places" like FSC.

    Btw I'm not trying to slur FSC here but seems that you are either not giving some other sites enough credit or FSC too much.
    And here is me thinking this was supposed to be a birthday thread.
    Sorry and here me thinking it was a forum .
    Btw maybe admittedly bad form on my part and overlooking the fact that mine is but one of several "off-topic" comments but the only one deemed necessary to nit-pick at, sadly I'm pitifully poor at treacle.

    Anyway , Happy Birthday FSC inanimate object impossible of either delight or regret, I hope this small symbol of my appreciation warms the coddles of the place your heart would be .

    See not good .

    PS On the other hand, true appreciation to any and all that have given freely of their time or themselves in maintaining a place that is obviously not just a "job" or a "hobby" but rather a true labour of love.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    Might simply be my being stupid blinding me to this, as usual, but you can't really "trust" anyone online. Especially not on a piracy website where the spectrum of people you can meet stretches from the side of "Out to sue my ass off for grabbing his copyright work" to "One of the people that are going to get sued and take down everything with them, eventually." It's commendable that FSC survived for so long, and that they pick great (?) members who keep their requests/retention ratios high, but at the same time, I really hate it when someone makes it sound like (especially in BT) a site can have the best possible members when it's locked down, or the fact that the pedantry when picking and choosing their members or how their invitees use their invites/referrals will actually promote venerable decisions (when all sites from all lvlz, do in fact know better), when the very fact that you're online and have never met the people you "trust" leads to a different conclusion.

    You can always argue that there are still people with emotions, opinions, dreams and lives behind the computer screens you're trolling; but then if you're such a person that readily opens up to people he's never met, I'm sure you'll have no gripes tipping 100% at a restaurant the next time, or taking the time to explain to a crack dealer that you know his childhood mustn't have been easy. Just because you're online doesn't give you an excuse to be nicer/meaner to people you normally wouldn't (people you haven't met), but it does give you several reasons (research source) to not trust people. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not set on this opinion and I'll welcome to counter-arguments (and I've tried to keep this civil as this is a birthday thread after all); but please, don't throw in anymore "But I do trust the people I invited as I would trust my neighbor in real life" quotes. It just screams "idiotic".

    Happy birthday, FSC.

    P.S. Can I start one of these threads when ScT's birthday/funeral comes around? They do it for MLK Jr...

    Verbose way of stating the obvious- we don't fully know people online, so we cannot "trust" them. I would take that further-into real life, where people lie, cheat, and steal from those they know and/or work for.

    If one fits into the structure, it is likely they will be invited into the site when their name is placed in the proper thread.

    Personally, I can think of 20 names I would risk accounts I enjoy/use daily based on my familiarity/comradery with some members here. It isn't foolproof, but so far I have not invites any "total losers". Even if someone who is known for taking care/responsibility with their invites makes qa mistake- if they are valuable themselves, it is unlikely they will be punishe4d for their error.

    Haters ? Someone is not allowed to give their thoughts in a reasonably polite manner without being referred to /thought of as a " hater " .
    Jesus H. Christ .

    Forgive my frankness but as you so used to having your ass kissed that you can't take anything else as some sort of personal insult to be replied to in the most ignorant way possible .
    And forgive me for also thinking that and not any real,discernible hatred might be in actuality the true reason that you "don't come around here anymore".

    Btw the thing that I like least about the site in question is that so many members are quick to talk the talk but very few for far as I have seen , actually walk the walk.
