    It looks like in an attempt to prune 'collectors' and raise security they are disabling all accounts that do not get a password change within the next day. Just a friendly heads up, because I didn't see a thread about this in this section.

    So if you don't visit the site every day, you're a collector? They could at least give you a few days.

    Well it was made a week ago, but still seems short notice. The collectors part wasn't specifically mentioned in the announcement, but it's what I infer reading between the lines.

    Stupid password system. It refused to let me change it to the same password. I had to change it to something else and then change it back.

    Thanks for the heads up. I don't use it much, but from time to time I find something there, I can't get elsewhere e.g. TT sessions.

    Nowadays, there are more trackers than there are members, so if your tracker misbehaves, they get bookmark removed, or worse, URL deleted.

    Logically enough

    Cheers for the info, I'd have missed that. Wish they'd just take it on tracker activity or something, I've at least 10 torrents that have been seeding for months... just because I don't go on every few days doesn't mean I'm a 'collector', just means I've other stuff to do

    Anyway, thanks for the heads up

    This.

    I got disabled for inactivity when I had 300gb+ in seeding and showed up regularly for the TT sessions. Pity, I really liked the place.

    The same applies to BCG (where I had 58 torrents with me being the only seed active) and their draconian activity rules.

    I don't understand how so many staffers have suddenly decided that their websites are the center of the internet and (god forbid) people that only visit the site when they need it are collectors.

    If the intention was to shame BCG, I can only hope you met with some success.I thought the whole point of file-sharing was to "share " not to be on call.

    Anyway maybe I take things too seriously or maybe not seriously enough but it's fucking shite trance music and video games for Christ sake ,not as you said the center of internet by which I assume you mean porn.
    Respect my lack of authority.
