I guess you fail to realize that type of statement ,beyond being unnecessarily confrontational and extremely rude , is probably one of the surest ways to ensure that people do not.

Once again to the chronically self-involved , this is a forum .Telling people to shut up is basically the one thing that works sort of contrary to it's mandate. :mellow:

If something is deemed not in line with the best interests of the site or it's members then it is left up to the discretion of the staff (Cabalo being a extremely level-headed example of ) to deal with it.
Not you,not me or not any other member by using whatever heavy -handed bullying tactics that they think their ( presumed) standing in the bt world may provide them.:dabs:

Btw you're used to getting your own way aren't you?
 
Yea, I'm curious as to the source or validity of it. I mean I guess I would maybe check it out? I have downloaded a couple of their releases in the past.. However I think I tend to lean towards other certain groups more when it comes to a TS-ish release. I don't do cams, period. However, I do respect IMAGiNE and feel they have a positive bringing to file sharing. :D
 
Since when has the "spirit of P2P" included stealing something someone else took hundreds of hours to create, running it through some software to modify it slightly then calling it your own and deeming it to be "exclusive" to a site where a "select few" have access to it and demanding that it not be shared anywhere else? Is that really what P2P is about nowadays?

I also find it very hard to feel sorry for people who don't like all the "negative" attention they're getting when it was they who sought out that attention in the first place.
 
I can read just fine, thanks.

And there is a plan to open signups, but probably not this weekend until we have worked out all the bugs and move to a new server and the staff also don't want us posting URL's here and I quote:

This being said, we do not want the fact of us having open sign up's broadcasted on those shit warez forums or anything like that mind you okay.

But to confirm there will be open signups, but the staff doesn't want it posted here.

Ok just to clear it up, here's how it goes:

There will NOT be open signups anymore due to the leak and a bunch of people hammering at the doors. In some aspects we are kind of thankful for the leak to show us that open signups is not the way to go. So, we are NEVER going to have open signups. NEVER. That is the end of that. So feel free to lock this thread because that is all that is going to be said. You can speculate all your want, but that is that.
 
Word is IMAGiNE has its own tracker.
There will be a 3 day open sign up period in the very near future. If anyones interested .... I can post in the open sign ups thread a few hours before hand
 
I didn't mean saying "Thank you", literally. That's as worthless as "+1" comments. I meant the other kind of thanks giving, the one that could help them produce more material that I enjoy consuming. Camming, whether you believe it or not, is an expensive business; as is source hunting from leakers. It gets to the point where the hardware/discs are actually "shared" instead of being bought in one go, contrary to popular belief, and I happen to know multiple people in the business. So when I say that I intend to thank them/support them, I also thought I really didn't need to spell this one out.

As for getting it first; yes, to me, it matters a lot. You and I have argued this point before, and I said pretimes do matter to a certain extent. I also explained that I used to be a source supplier for a gaming group in the past, and so I understand the thrill/rush of being "first"/knowing that it's not simply about credits, but it's about being the best etc. I'm sorry if it seems pointless to you, it feels a bit shallow to me, as well. However it is something I did and enjoyed for years and it's hard to get it out of my system. Being first means a lot to people, some more than others, but to me, especially with some content, it's not first by a few seconds or minutes; it's actually being first by days.

I don't get a thrill from the chase, nor do I trick myself into believing that watching a shitty quality cam on my computer makes me an 1337er than someone that enjoyed the span of the movie on a great screen for the price of a cup of coffee. I watch the movies that I wouldn't watch in theaters anyway, either due to my preferred company having watched it without me, therefore necessitating a private viewing by myself, or because I would favor watching other movies on the big screen, knowing I'd never get a chance for this movie/don't like the idea of it, but am still intrigued enough to see it. Basically: The only time I resort to cams/TS's are actually when I wouldn't make a box office count, either way.

I duly apologize that not all of us are pricks that go back on our word on a daily basis, even if we are "on the internets". By the way, we haven't met before, and I would usually tell you to sod off, considering you're borderline baiting me into it; but you know, blue star woes.

That's the way it's been in the cam/ts/dvdrip/encode side of things for ages. Sceners and P2P'ers alike are dealing with this inane demand of presets and retarded settings. By the sheer volume of participants in this thread alone you can tell that people actually "care" (for lack of a better word) about those releases. And while it is a tried argument, whether you believe it or not, we all steal shit from some place, do little to no modifications to it, then label it as our own, while expecting "uploader rights", "uploader privacy", and a nice secretive place to share those files (try private trackers at large, and not simply focusing on this one oddity).

They never sought out the attention. That's another misconception. A random guy emailed FSF, and Fatal (who I am not sure whether he continues to staff there or not) just wanted to give the opportunity to members who would have never seen the tracker in the first place/beta stage etc. and allow them in helping create it. In both of those cases, there was no cry for attention by the staff, at all. In fact they just wanted to do their own thing until time for the announcement/open signups was right. Obviously that will never be consolidated now, but you can't possibly expect a website that was exposed in an alpha stage (take attainthe.net as a second example) to open its doors to the very populace that harassed it.

Again, your not reading the full thing and just jumping to conclusions. It means they don't want the URL posted on PUBLIC forums, can you not grasp that concept?

This advertisement plus our FSF article have now wetted everyones apetite for this super notsosekrit exclusive tracker. Since everyone wants in so much, we're not going to open invites, so that I can continue to post on here bragging about how leet I am for being a member of this oh so leet tracker that you will never, ever be a member of. We should now be put on the WTAW list as level 9, above FSC and E****. Thanks bitches!
