plus you can't have a good opinion of CE after having been recently invited in such a great music tracker ;)

frankly, if i had to choose to have just one music tracker, it would be what.cd. and really, these two things that you've said are not linked.. couple of weeks ago i rejoined v**music and despite they are based on shitty scene v2 content, they still have a potential for me having their niche - exclusive discographies, very useful thing imo... so, believe it or not, i'm not "elitist", maybe just a little bit, considering my what.cd status lol

Oh my god, I am so sick of these trackers who try and be cool and "recruit" users, its fuckig stupid.

Look at What and Waffles if you want to run a successful tracker, they opened a bit over a year ago and just gave away invites at will, then they weeded out the shit users. Now look where they are.

On the other hand, lets look at scl and its, both *about* the same age as the trackers mentioned above, both trackers tried to "recruit" members and look at their sites, no activity on torrents to speak of, no forum activity (realtive to what and waffles) and both are pretty much fail. They just feel cool because they have their own little clubhouses.

I wish people would learn from the likes of what and waffles.

The what.cd admins are pretty proud of their irc interview, which is a great way of gaining new members as opposed to giving certain 'recruiters' unbiased power to invite whoever they feel, or just handing out invites. Imo the what.cd interview is more revolutionary than any of the no-ratio/medal schemes/total traffic sites in that it makes invites and trading unnecessary and is the most unbiased way of gaining quality members.

Other than that you've pretty much summed up the rational view of torrenting. The new 'clubhouse' trackers that keep popping up are just that; A place for people to feel special on the internet. As for filesharing they may try to be innovative but in most cases they end up being too much of a hassle to be practical, and they will consume the time and life of a group of dedicated members and then the rest of their 'special' userbase gets an easy ride. Nothing wrong with that, but it will never be practical on a large scale, which is needed for practical filesharing.


On a side note, CE's tracker stats are available and ranked in the WTO thread. Someone added them a while ago but I'm not sure if people refer to that yet.

Yeah I think the interview thing is an awesome idea especially for a music tracker, but I guess I was referring to the first 2 weeks or so that they went live. They just handed out invites like candy in their IRC then most members got shitloads of them as well. Great way to start out... then move on to the interview process. Now they are the most successful tracker out there, and all in 1 year or so.
 
wow. I lsot interest after it took them two weeks to reformat the server. I wont go back there unless it picks up. I gave a fair bit of time and bandwith to that site first time around and loved it but its too much hassle to do it again.
EDIT:
Ragincajun he does have a good point. I know youll take offence to taht, but good luck with the site.

I agree that it took way too long, but you do understand that it is the hosting company, not anyone on CE's staff, that has to do the reformat. We put in the request the day we decided to go tbdev. It just took them forever to do it. Anyway, thanks for the well wishes.
 
ok but i don't get one thing....why was this thread made....if not for sharing invites?i mean i don't see much publicity beeing made here...so what's the point of this whole thing?:huh:....i mean it all started with one post showing a banner and saying that the tracker is new and with no ratio?:|why do you do that?...what can that give you
 
well the bigger question is...does the site even exist anymore? seeing that i only heard of this site yesterday (no really)...its def. high on my curiosity list
 
Theres no point speculating, the site is still brand new, wait a few months and see how it turns out. It could be great, it could epicly fail, but give it a shot and we'll see.
 
i didn't mean you were "elitist", i just pointed the fact that when someone is member of such a good tracker, every other music sites can seem "tasteless" to him (particlularly new ones like CE).
and yes, i agree that what.cd is more than enough to fit most of our music needs.

I think that if staff ever wanted to open their doors to the public, which I highly doubt, they would announce it. It's nothing you need to be worried over.
