Best idea a tracker ever had?

Definitely the share index system. imo it still pwns the typical "no ratio system" and I believe it was around before trackers started going "no ratio".

I like to see a tracker where members can earn bonus from downloading and not just seeding. Combine that with some form of h&r rules; it can increase the trackers' activities.

some tracker give out karma/bonus for downloading (along with uploading and seedling) if that's what you mean :unsure:

Funnily enough, in 2007 sometime, i made a staff thread saying we should try ratio free, lets just say most of the staff thought I was mad, torrents would die overnight, everyone would hit and run, members only seeded for PU/SPU (well saying as though we got rid of those and have not seen a drawback in the above, that was rubbish) etc etc.

But as you know, we never actually went for it, even though I wanted to (and i still think it will work, but we have other plans now)

IMHO, I don't think it would be a great idea on your tracker Stoi. You guys got tons of super-rare stuff there (a good bit of which id down to 1-3 seeders) and I feel like a large number of seeds would be gone if you would switch to ratioless.
In other words, why fix what isn't broken? Your SP system is awesome.
 
glitterstep ..blackjack and gold /cash / points//are everywhere :).not the first and surely not the last .
ftn is a ratio free tracker too :/

A tracker thats under dev is gonna implement something never ever seen before..and yeah, downloading activity is taken in account as well in the complex and kinda holistic algorithm being developed and tested.. :happy:
ya all will get to know about it in good time.. :yup:

Well, that's great a new tracker is trying something new. And this will be fine for people that are interested in joining new trackers. But I really wish a few existing sites would implement such a system since some aren't really looking to join any others(especially another 0day/general tracker).

I can't remember which tracker it is, but it uses total traffic, that encourages leeching. :ermm:
 
The thing that makes torrenting cool to me is knowing that if something is released, that I will have the opportunity to download it from my primary site soon after it is released. So I think a scene site that races almost all the content I want (don't care about porn 0day or music). FTN fell off a bit, missing many releases lately or coming late. SCT and as far as I remember SCC are the tops when it comes to this. TL will also get it, but later of course and it's rampant with noobs and ads.

I didn't think the clubs at FSC were anything great. They have a few club based uploads and a forum but it's nothing too interesting or active (last year at least, but then again, the whole place seemed kinda dead to me). The FunSpace was kinda lame too. I know there are a lot of fanboys here but I didn't see what the fuss was about at FSC. But I'm a dick so maybe that's my problem.

^^ now those two i've never heard of.how does that code thing work exactly coz it still sounds fakeable to me?

It's even more secure than providing a profile link because that profile link will then have a long alphanumeric code in the info section of the profile which is not fakable unless you had a friend put the code in that very profile link you provided.

https://wigornot.com/f/ "The Site" is the other one that uses it. It's an ok under the radar forum-based tracker with a seemingly unique community. They ran a promo on what a while back.
 
And it may stop 1000s of members joining up and never using their account, if they can see what it is like first.

Probably the most logical reason for a tracker to implement this feature.Its no need for people to sign up to trackers only to find out they aren't anything close to their tastes(happened to me with extremebits somebody told me it was a music tracker),a guest account for test driving sounds like a good feature.Though i figure with trackers inclination towards being mysteries this is highly unlikely to take off.
A little offtopic but does anybody know what these sites are all about?

Gazelle for specialized trackers was(is) a fantastic project. Ftn's non ratio system was something new (although I'm not sure they were the first ones). I like Hdbits advanced search options. Sharing bonus systems are good as long as they are simple
 
Personally, FunSpace w/ the personal trackers mod. And the clubs are always fun. Tokens, FunArcade, gifts....All found in one place.

and much more to come..... :O
