ITS invite applications open

i would think elitism would be more along the line of "fuck off you can't have any invite for another bloody year or so" as opposed to (all) members can recommend a friend. on top of that non-members can apply through IRC as well as forum.

That's a very good point, actually. You would expect anyone who is opposed to the "elitism" of so-called "higher ranked" trackers to jump up and down in joy when one of the more elusive sites opens its doors to the public, but I guess some people will never be content and will always have something negative to say about everything.

I'm only posting what b2owulf had in his spoiler .As for being overly intrusive I never thought as much since the tracker staff have potentially a lot more to lose than you do.
My point , if I had any ,to that bit of whimsy was that while I know you have to ask something ,several of the questions are outright silly.
I mean anyone that is up to no good is just going to lie about everything anyway and the one question about being on seven other trackers to me doesn't show anything except that you are seven times as less likely to actually use iTS.

I guess someone there thinks that you need to be in the special twit club( because like it or not most people who are on all the impotent trackers are twits) or something in order to apply as opposed to just being a person of no pretense that enjoys movies and wants instead of "needs" to be a member of the site .
Fact is I could list a couple dozen people who are traders that are on seven(or seventeen) sites but not one trader that is on only one. So iTS 1 Sense 0

Isint iTS opening up because of the "Ghost town effect"?And how was the donations for the past few months if you dont mind me asking,just curious to know,thats all.
 
I see it as:

-no invites --> As squirrel complained. Is this being 'elite', or is it just being stupid? because a tracker will die if not enough invites are handed out. I have never really noticed this happen except with HDBits maybe, and they seem to be doing ok cause there are so many users.

-invite app --> Completely up to staff discretion. To me this is absolute rule by an 'elite' group, if invites do not exist as well. But then I do see the point that anyone can attempt to join. Still, it's a few select people playing God in my eyes. Is that elite? Fuck if I know.

-invites --> Transfers the power in the userbases hands. I guess this is also 'elite' but spread over more people, cancelling out some of the l33tness. Really that term is such bs it will be interpreted differently by everyone.

-open signups --> Now you are bordering on being a public tracker. Definitely not elite in any sense.



By the way, not trying to say being 'elite' is strictly a bad thing. It just seems like a lot more micromanagement which means way more rewardless(?) work on the staffers part. Hopefully it pays itself off with a perfect economy.
 
I'll be stopping by your office shortly to kick you square in the balls for squashing government accountability.

Just another elitist site with crappy retention and generally full of fuck.

I remember you. Weren't you the guy that came to their channel a few times and outright *begged* to be allowed back to the site, only to get denied? I specifically remember you because you sounded all mental and were telling some stories about being on prescription psychiatric meds. No wonder you're bitter.
 
Aren't there invites available there for VIPs? If that is the case it's even more elitist than zero invites seeing that the staff first "gift" someone with VIP status and then on top of that "gift" only these "special " people with invites. With no invites everyone is in the same boat at least so consequentially that's not elitist at .

You know it's possible just not to like a site . Everyone is so knee-jerk with the bitter statements.
Could be that he's just a non-bitter idiot.
 
@chinchillas:

Unless I'm sarcastic or I'm playing sides, I normally won't make a point unless I believe it. I do believe 'iTS' is one of the elite trackers as it stands right now, and I don't mean that in a critical sense. Both you and me are active on an elite 0day tracker (the most elite one I know of that is still around). Anyways this doesn't even add anything to this discussion, I just didn't want you to get the wrong impression that I am using the word 'elite' in a negative connotation like Qlix seemed to use it.

What are you applying for??

I am guessing it's either 0day or movies? It's mentioned in the fine print, I think somewhere between the slot for your social security number and your mother's maiden name. :unsure:
