Hey guys, I am fairly new here too. I have only been here two months or so and I just wanted to give some advice to you guys that aren't allowed in the invite section yet.

Hopefully most of you aren't here just for the invites. Take advantage of being part of this great community here at FST. Granted their are some bad people mixed in with the good, but speaking from experience I have met alot of great, helpful people here.

Make friends, help out on the forums, be kind, and give. If you do these things then in time you will get everything u deserve.

I am not a trader but i respect people and let them do what they want. I do however advise against it because it ruins the communities of the trackers we all want and are members at. I guess what I am saying is that you dont need to trade to get what you want. In fact, in most cases, trading will probably prevent you from getting what you want. This isnt a threat or anything like that; just a peice of friendly advice.

Hope this helps and good luck to you all

thank you jonny, this is a good advive. it seems that you understood an important principal.

i would like to add another advice for people with fresh access to the invite section.

do not post immediately. if you are interested in a certain tracker read other requests/offers regarding that tracker first.

i know it is tempting to start a request right away. you waited a whole long month and now you want to go for it.

hold on for another two weeks and study the section very carefully. it will make your first request better and more successful!

you can ruin your chances and your reputation instantly with a bad and premature request. then you will have to wait much longer to get the invite after all.


first read 2 weeks - then post

Great advice johnny, I would like to add just a lil bit to this....give personally not publicly. If u think someone deserves an invite just PM the guy n offer him rather then opening a thread.

Polarbear's advice is great too.......don't be like me n open a thread requesting FTN on ur first day in the BT section lol

Like Polar said, don't jump the gun on the request/trade threads as soon as you are eligible to post here. Most FST's don't respond to uneducated, unprofessional post. Reading the rules here and of the trackers that you want or are trading for helps too. If you violate the rules of FST or the tracker that you want your chances of reaching your goal drops dramatically.

If you see someone who's looking for an invite for a site that you have spare invites for help him out. Now, be wary. Don't give invites out to people that have very few post. If you do choose to help them out anyways, then PM, irc, or aim the person you you can get a better grip on their personality.

If you've got a question, and are afraid of getting flamed, or shot down feel free to PM people. Most people on here I noticed don't mind a PM in regards to questions and the like.

Remember, even if you are a noob you can make still make a difference. If you have great ideas, views, philosophies, etc. don't hesitate to post as long as you make an educated post. Try to be open minded and level headed when responding to post that you may disagree with.

Finally, It's ok to check out the other sections here on FST. Be active on the other forums. We're all pirates here, get to know your fellow pirates, regardless of file sharing choice lol.

Well, thats that. I tend to type alot sometimes so if anyone would like a condensed version feel free to PM me lol.

huh, you mean it's not a requirement for level 10? those bastards!

When they say "on your knees" in future, at least you will know now it's not for that level 10.

Why? Great advice jon. Your looking to be one of the better members of this site for sure.
