I love this experienced torrent user crap, and you make UK-T sound like the holy grail of torrent sites, RAB it was only a tracker.

and seriously, how long does it take to get experienced in torrenting, a week max, we were all noobs at one point, and thats the one thing I miss about being closed, the noobs, I love helping them and seeing them turn into bloody good members.

Experienced torrenters can be a right pain in the arse, that tracker does it like this, why cant you do it like that, because we are not them sheesh.

I would rather have noobs any day, at least they may use the tracker.

Stoi, I know you are an understanding site owner, and someone who has never bought into the whole 'levels' or 'senior member' bollocks, but we are talking about people here who live and breathe this very crap, and now in their never ending quest for leetness backie & co. are going to make their very own leet tracker, and all the collectors are going to trip over their own dicks in the rush to get invited.
If you don't believe me, a quick read through backies blog www.onasoapbox.co.uk should convince you of what a loon he is. Also coincidentally two of his a/c's here on FST now reside in the dunce corner because he is just that kind of a reliable upstanding chap.

friendship used as a reason for invitation is crap

Now that, I disagree with.

Online friendship, perhaps, but not plain old "friendship". I can speak of a handful of my friends who have been invited by me to various trackers, not because of their uber leet ratios/seedboxes/sexual favors, but because they're my friends. To further my point, half of these friends of mine had never belonged to a private tracker, yet alone had any experience with using bittorrent. I had no reason - aside from friendship - to invite them; in fact I took a chance on every one. I put faith in my friends that they could become great members - with my help/guidance - and they haven't let me down. I'm not unwilling to invite people that I have a friendship with, regardless of their status online or what they can bring to the table.
 
I did read a couple of his blogs the other week, i just laughed and vowed never to go back.

but anyone can make a tracker (if i did even backie can lol), the hard part is keeping it going and keeping your members interested.
 
Shit if I run a tracker I ain't gonna be worrying about no god damn traders or cheaters. One single rule "No uploading viruses/malware/adware." is the way I would roll.

Not trying to tell you how to run a tracker, and th trader argument i can understand, but not going after cheaters at all will just end in disaster.

If I am a honest member, why would i upload on a torrent, if most others that are downloading it/seeding it are cheating their ratio.

If I am an uploader, likewise, why should i waste my upload if most of the downloaders are cheating.

Cheating doesnt just get them a higher ratio you know, it totally slows swarms down (because they dont upload), and because they cheated, they hit and run, so torrents wont last 2 minutes.

Basically you will have a few seeders, and loads of leechers, ut thats not because you are popular, its because most seeders are cheating.

It will come to a point, where the torrents just grind to a halt, the seeding cheaters will not be uploading to the cheaters that are downloading lol maybe it will be a good lesson to them though, and show that cheating does harm trackers, and they only do it so they dont have to seed properly, and for e-penis.

At least put the scare factor in, even if you do nothing about it, but peronally, if you flaunt that you dont give a shit about cheaters, i wouldnt go anywhere near your site (as a normal good member, not as another tracker owner, as i wont join anyway, i dont join anywhere else)
 
lol, I really hope backie/frylock are gonna run a tracker. They seem to know everything so Im sure they will show the rest of the world how it's done :lol:
 
I doubt it. Backie's all about freedom and (from what I've heard) he'll let you get away with just about anything he wants. He has been in trackers such as UK-T and the likes, but I want to see if they actually have what it takes to run a tracker. It's not an easy task. Having to find traders and ratio cheaters will be the hard part for them, but why does it have to worry us? :happy:

Well I personally have noticed how fucked up the ratio system is. (Ratioless system on most sites is fucked too.) Basically with the ratio system, you need to have a plus ratio. Problem being for every byte uploaded a byte needs to be downloaded. This results in valuable leech users being banned because they can't upload and sites being full of ratio whores. Attempts to fix that problem with freeleech torrents just results in only torrents that get any movement being the freeleech torrents and everything else getting hardly any.

I personally would go for a different system where faking your upload wouldn't matter.

I only meant the whole anonymous friendships online accounting as a reason for invite traffic is absolute crap, since you can never tell the kind of person, even if they've uploaded TB upon TB. I know a person who had uploaded about 16TiB up on ScT, yet got disabled for downloading 10gb the day I invited them to What.

Where is that clown smiley when I need it the most. What I said is again being looked into farther than what I wrote, it actually makes me feel like a clown. I only spoke of online friendships, I didn't mean real life friendships. Half of my real life friends have been invited to wherever they requested me to get them and guided into keeping the accounts.

The whole point of torrenting is sharing, so if you don't share with the people you care about the most friends/family what's the point? :)
 
FST with a tracker? I doubt it. The staff members here already have their hands occupied with managing and stabilizing the forums...

Also, I've seen a review of Revolt here and the rules do seem pretty relaxed. Let's just see if Backie and Frylock have what it takes to run a huge tracker (or forum).

I completely agree and which is why we have SP, and no promotions on ratio atm.

but we still get cheaters, go figure.
 
I just visited the site and found that it has an invite form. All you have to do is give them your e-mail address and they'll send you an invite...

Or will they? It's just an early April Fool's prank. :shifty:
 
Haha, same here waffles. I'm quite pissed off since I keep not expecting it, opening a page and it says April Fools, and I rage because it's still the 31st.

Google usually has the funniest ones, though. :happy:
