No, I disagree. They've done
nothing wrong thus far. They opened a tracker
in the spirit of P2P and legitimately had plans to open signups to the public. A lot of trackers do this before their release, whereby they invite friends of staffers in order to gain a little activity/set a theme for the community before they open up the doors to the masses (examples can be ScP, BTN, CN, need I go on?). What they were met with, was a barrage of insults, dos attacks, and people misconstruing their every word/intention (the same that happened to overseed.me a lifetime ago). Whether you believe it or not, anyone, even yourself, when met with the ugly side of things, will shy away and choose to avoid it.
Either way, I never saw any mention of them not supporting P2P at large. They just chose to have this one site as a "private dump" if you will, and they consistently give members invites so they can invite their friends/people who want to get in. I'm not the greatest seeder ever, but I'll be giving invites to people who I wouldn't consider "close" to me online, and I doubt the staffers will mind. Sharing their files in a secure place is their priority, and I doubt anyone can have a problem with that. Will some files leak? Naturally. Will the URL keep getting exposed? Sure, even sites that had a whole team of people to avoid public mention failed. But you know what? They still do what they can and want to, and everything else will fall into its right place.
And looks like they will give a new definition of p2p
Euthanize yourself.
So now we have:
Scene
PeerToPeer
PeerAgainstPeer
Night, I've always thought you were a reasonable person. Don't be fooled with the way things appear to be like. They're not trying to be 1337 or ignore the "p2p community" demands or anything of the sort. They just had a rough start (this thread being a great example) and want to avoid the issues/woes of public attention from here on out. Invites are still relatively easy to get and the rules are lax on how to hand them out (obviously some responsibility when doing so is required, as is the case with any tracker). They aren't going PAP, and aren't going to close down in the foreseeable future from the support they're getting, they aren't going to rage quit the entire ordeal, but they also aren't going to succumb to a bunch of e-bullies and trash talk in order to give idiots what they want. There's nothing wrong with a stance like that.
...... I 'm just more open than some to admitting the fact.
