Other sites seem to stick to a '5 grab' policy so I had to be careful dividing the grabs for getting nightly tv shows during the week. Here, was it ten? It was great, I never had to worry about hitting a limit. Sometimes I could just click, click, click and I had everything I needed without having to go somewhere else. Then just recently, "You have hit your 2 limit and have to go elsewhere to get your nzb although you are staring right at it" message.
My FST tab gets loaded along with all my other "entertainment" tabs everyday when I "open all in tabs" so the FST gets a hit or multiple hits from me everyday no matter what. I thought "well, that really, really sucks!" and thought well, I could go to the effort of removing FST from my entertainment tabs and just open FST when I need to, which isn't very often if the limit is 2 grabs. This is the only way I can express my dissatisfaction with the decision to reduce the amount to the ridiculous amount of 2, by being spiteful and removing my 'hit count' for the site which would make a real life impact on the sites count that it shows to its advertisers. But meh, that is more work. I just want my meager amount of nzbs.
Of course, everyone attached to the site in some way will say the usual "Just pay bub". Maybe I would if FST was my one stop shop for all the most recent releases, but it isn't. I have to go elsewhere to get the releases, maybe 4-6 per weekday, that I need.
I paid for Matrix and once down, found FST and other sites that offered the same indexing service but they were all spread out and the sites were no where close to how great matrix was. There are other "just pay bub" sites out there where you can't even see the nzbs. Maybe FST should go that route, then I will remove FST from my "open in all tabs".
Yes this post is negative, it is not meant to offend, it is just my opinion and take on the sharing vs. paying. A post was put up about why people don't post in the forums. Maybe now you know why, most people just want their nzbs. I, like most, live a busy life. I don't have time to hang out in forums or have other places to go where the membership is robust (private torrent sites for example).
