FTN opened the doors!

I read elsewhere that everyone who donated 10euros got an invite.

I read someplace that that a human is an immortal alien spirit that is trapped on Earth in a physical body.
I also read that Scarlett Johansson had anal sex with Benico Del Toro in an elevator.
Guess which one the three I find the most interesting and believable?
 
There's a lot of cynicism floating around here... maybe it's justified, maybe it's not...

How long has FTN been 'closed off' and how long have people been looking to get invited?

It could simply be a case of them looking for some fresh members and using existing, trusted member who have proven themselves over the piece as a way of inviting people they know. Surely this is better than just opening the doors to anyone joining up... and may also help to stem the flow of invites going to those 'collectors' who donate, get the invite, then trade it off or sell it or whatever.

I dunno Brandon, I dunno that much about FTN particularly, but from reading stuff he's posted in the past, and from reading various members of FTN chatting about the site and the community it doesn't really sit right thinking it would go the way of ScT... perhaps I'm wrong, but hey... what's the point of being so cynical and looking on the downside all the time?? :lol:
 
Since you support this new invite policy could you please explain why there is one giveaway/request thread for 10 trade threads? And why is this so wonderful?

i've seen countless trackers with good staff, great layout and features dying because a lack of dedicated members.

people don't donate just to please staff nor because they like the site design.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I've seen the same, and I understand its necessity. However, nowadays there are ways over transient dedication to the tracker. A review up on FSF, a neat-o design and there's a ton of sheep at the tracker's doorstep. For example, a lot of people joined BTN based on just that one review, without knowing any other information.

As for the donations comment, you'd be surprised. Personally, I donate to any place I visit and like, just because it would be a shame if it died and I stopped enjoying my time there. I have no problems/gripes attempting to pay the whole server bill alone if I have to (depends on the size of the place...); however, others out there will donate just to get a "VIP" beside their name, or just to see the gratitude, believe it or not.

This goes back to the age old, herd anagram. A shit company releases a shit game, (IW; MW2) people still buy it. A shit tracker with shit material will still get donations from members for the same reason people donate for upload GB's on a ratio free tracker.
 
Tv Controls you said:
I strongly disagree, seeders are the ones putting food on the table.
Seeding is the best donation you can ever give to the BT community. I personally only donate when I really like how a tracker is ran.

Naw B. Seeding is what normal users do, it's what you're expected to do if you're using private trackers. Donations are what keep this service going.
 
HI
EVERY ONE SEE THE LAST news IN THE HOME PAGE

I SAW


I'll be honest and say that I was pretty worried that this was the beginning of the end,

EVERY ONE REMEMBER SCT (DOUBLE DONATED)
THEN CLOSE

FTN GET INVITE TO DONAR AND THE DONATION INCREASE
THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN FTN CLOSE
 
Legitimate users: Stop referring people that request ftn to gft. That is the poison that the traders thrive off of. Ftn needs legitimate members more than gft does at this point in time. We must adjust to bad decisions trackers make and as a community try to fix them.

i agree :)

why are they a legitimate user because they've made a request? I would think that most people with an invite wouldn't be wasting it on someone they don't know (I would hope anyway) and would instead give it to their friend who might enjoy the site.
 
TT also gives invites to uploaders* and to old members*, even your old donation history is taken into consideration.

it would be really not that hard to get into TT, if u know some real trance music lovers.

*as far as my knowledge serves me.
 
I'd rather see him taking the money than those filthy invite sellers.
Hopefully this will decrease the trading value of those invites, and he'll be able to keep the site going.
