This is brilliant.

They closed invites due to sellers and traders.

With only one day of open invites, a very small window of opportunity, people will be scrambling to trade and sell in order to get an invite.

Thus greatly increasing the percentage of traders and sellers who get in. How brilliant.

Why don't they just open for a longer period or not at all?

I'm not sure "the average member" (as in people like me) there will be able to invite at all. Wait and see, I say.

lol anybody who spends more than 1 invite on that day will be banned with no proper reason or thoroughly be put under the microscope.Most of the members are sellers and traders otherwise the site wouldn't have gone to as far as freezing the invites and that was a first.

80% of sdbits is hdbits and as far as reason goes,I think that would be the least suspicious way to get in lol.
This one day thing is however ridiculous as with time,they've managed to suppress supply that with all the demand that is out there,people will do almost anything to get in during this window.

Either way,this qualifies for an extremely dumb move if that's what it is or an elaborate plan to get rid of more sellers and traders.

If I was them though,I would start paying attention to people who seldomly used their accounts till the announcement as well as people rushing to get to higher user classes lol.

That's probably the best solution.

A solution means there is a problem, invites are closed again, back to normal. There is no problem.

 

[desm]

Damn ppl never change, even you cant use invites yet and i saw so many ppl trade/selling invites already lol

Anytime I see "Your a retard" or "Your a fag" I think thats a logical thought provoking argument that built the foundation for this place.

 

[G-e-O-r-G-i-A]

Haha Yesss This will be "The Day"

I'm just wondering where all you potential members of HDBits were a year ago when invites were easy to obtain, are all of you completely new to torrenting or what?

I dunno about everyone else but in my case I didn't have an HDTV or the spare disk space to download HD content. Now I do, and now it's closed

 

[junglelion46]

They totally should have expected some of that stuff. There are better ways of dealing with it. Just buy the invites and ban the user and their invite tree. Or offer incentives to users who bought the invite.

Other sites deal with this problem just as well. HDBits is one of the best sites but can't seem to accept and deal with this reality. They have done this several times already.

That's sheer faggotry.

 

[tfutrell_crt]

just heard it's not going to happen because of invite selling

 

[Panda Bear O_o]

Anyway it's nice to see that the admins takes precautions against this behavior.
Some fucking idiots do this: http://www.torrentinvites.org/invites/hdbits-org/prod_18.html

Especially ironic when "your" is spelled incorrectly.

Bad news - 18/12/09

Well, a couple of idiots have ruined it for you all. There won't be invites on monday.

Too bad for all the good users waiting

 

[BP-7]

There is a hot girl that visits the #hdbits channel often. If I hadn't been banned from hdbits, maybe I would have been able to become her best friend. Her name is Claudia and her nick on the hdbits site is also Claudia. She lives in Canada. She didn't really have a high opinion about my intelligence, but that doesn't change the fact that she's hot.

 

[work in progress]

hahaha

I wonder whom they refer to?

 

[Tammy T]

Good news !

 

[Blessed!!]

are invites really open are are you people joking?.

 

[pooda94]

Or perhaps they hoped that faggots on this site and others that have traders and sellers wouldn't try anything stupid. If the same stuff happened again they would just simply cancel. It was up to the users to decide if they wanted invites open or not and they failed miserably

right, just blame the victims. because it's totally possible to not have people trade and sell invites. just like it's possible for all crime to end.

the site choosing to let a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us who acquire invites without buying or trading is the fault of the site alone.
