no worries if i don't get in; tbh, i probably wouldn't use the tracker as much as i should, according to your rules, anyways. by the way, i make a (good) living doing design, so naturally i'm curious when i visit brand new websites
I just try to be a little more polite in my responses than others around here. :dabs:

I still consider my self a n00b here. My 204 posts say nothing. My join date and activity does. Live and learn. I agree with Idol too.
I'm not dissing your sign-up date don't get me wrong those mean nothing to me, I'm not one to sign up to new trackers just to have some awesome sign up date either. Means nothing to anyone important. I meant you didn't start any bad blood between the two sites, you're just caught in the middle of a load of horseshit. :lol:

So, ..applied, we'll see what happens
I just finished reviewing all apps. If you got denied, let me know and we'll see what the problem was and if we can fix it.

More attention for CN, really? The staff seem to want to live of it now, rather than avoid it.

Holy Fuck.
You do not know him and yet you make assumptions like those.
P.S: Dont get me wrong,I aint one of those in CN hate bandwagon(Although some of it is BS).Couldnt agree with the above,thats all.
Being cool in internet means you are also cool outside the net?Moreover "being cool" is relative.bumrocks said:

I was approved, thank you.
Just for the record
While there are indeed a lot of torrents, there's a lot of redundancy, too. Its more or less just the IMDB top 500 5 times over, along with every straight-to-video action film since 1990. I don't see a 'feature' that would tell me just how many titles there are in all these torrents (I probably just can't see it). I would guess that its about 2500. While there are a couple of projects, they don't seem to make any effort towards the better source, or the better rip. There's a ton of the kind of junk you get on public trackers.
The features are certainly impressive, but they all amount to the most clutter I've ever seen on a web page. Ever. I switched off that 'advanced browse', immediately. The only other feature I could want from the site is the ability to turn off some of these goddamn 'features'.
Just to prove that I'm not a total jerk, I'll say that all the features are imaginitive, although they need a serious overhaul and should be redistributed amongst the pages. The members are very nice, as are the staff. The staff does not seem to be the group of power-mad juveniles that they've been represented as. They do actually care, I think they just suffer from some kind of collective ADD.
As many problems as I have with the site, its nothing that won't iron out in time. Eventually, the redundancy will start pissing people off and they'll consolidate some things. Hopefully, they'll find themselves using their obvious coding skills for something a bit more productive (i.e tracking available sources, collections, and filmographies). All it really needs is a giant dose of elegance, so I think I'll stick with it and maybe I can even help out a bit.
Just for the record
There are about 100 rips which could be construed as AFR in the widest of definitions, Looks like about 40 or 50 genuine, 1 in x264. The internal group is something less than impressive. If you're lucky, they'll put up a screenshot, I think I saw 2 source/encode comparisons. Many times the description was nothing more than an imdb url. I even saw one ripper apologizing for retaining the grain from the source XD

Stoi, completely agree with the ratio thing, standalone Global Ratio is bogus, any kid with enough money to burn on a good server can get 10 TB up, and it does not prove a thing.
Not really directed towards anybody/anywhere in general, but I always looked at CN as the place that has movies that most people would never have heard of/would ever see anywhere else, trackers or otherwise. Tis why I started encoding in the first place anyways
That is a pretty effective statement that seems to sum up much of the problems with the BT scene at the moment. Everybody seems to want to get to a tracker with 3 asterisks in its name, or WHARGARBL as the nickname of the site, since it is so rare/1337/great community. Do you know what pretty much has the best community known to BT? goem. Never hear it really in the WTAW threads, trader circles, or in most of the "What's the best site you are at?" threads. Just nice, friendly, talk about anything you want, laugh at the funniest shit forums.
