R.I.P FTN or not?

Think Mr.B, won't go down without a Fight, But looks like FTN, has dodge another bullet, as long as they straightened out their Donation Account, somehow.I am rooting for them, long live FTN..

sending auto-generated friendly PM/announcement if donation isn't met like UK-T did is one thing. Whereas sending an announcement twice in a row with tone of "We have until 2 days before the end of each month to reach 100% before we start wiping the servers." is completely different.

and why is there no reserve? because paypal froze their account? i'm not doubting that...it happens all the time. but there are better ways to handle that then to limit donation to 100%

I agree with this, but it also appears they just can't win...

Last month they were commended for not taking advantage of the donation drive and stopping donations at 100% so they couldn't be accused of doing an ScT and grabbing a shit load of funds...

This month they're 'to blame' for not holding a reserve and having to ask for donations... I don't envy the position the site is in tbh... seems they can't do right for doing wrong
 
Brandon should let donations to reach @ 150 %

And no worries...last time they managed to reach 100% in less than 2 days...

FTN will not go down, not because of donations...

Or anywhere, really. FSF articles are full of the same kind of people, same at that sharethefiles or whatever it is, backie's closet etc. You get the picture.

Honestly it's a problem with the community in general rather than the members of one board.

Clearly, you haven't been on any invite forum yet. Everyone is so nice there. Too bad 98% of them are just pretending.

About FTN, I agree with Detale, but on the other hand I kinda like that so many are bashing FTN. It evens out the overhyping a bit, but just a bit. :lol:
 
seems like they've made up their mind about closing tracker. it's probably just a matter of time...


hopefully everything working out good for everyone though

I hope it won't close, mostly because it's one of the last long standing references in bt.
Besides, it would be a bitch because then we would have here all the "FTN refugees" thread here, saying they were elite and should be invited to other elite trackers. That kinda makes me puke.
If Brandon closes the tracker, then the IRC will be just like as it happened with sct, everyone trading. And then, only then, he will see the amount of scum which joined his tracker.

About paypal, there must be a safer solution, just like someone pointed out.

Just hoping they pull this one through, it would be absolutely shitty to see such a site go down due to technicalities.

:yup:
 
From abou1t an hour ago...

Update: We believe we've managed to sort something last minute, however we'll still need funding for this next month since our previous funds are frozen. I'll update you guys further on this tomorrow, but it looks like we might just pull through this. Thanks for your support

Personally, I see no reason to doubt Brandon or FTN. Paypal is a bad choice. !The only time I use it is when sites offer no other option for donations.

Perhaps this will result in FTN and other sites finding a more trustworthy option.

...What exactly is it either of you are trying to prove on behalf of FTN or not? I think you're both just blabbering on now... :lol:

Maybe I am. My point isn't exactly for FTN but more so against the haters who decide to throw cheap shots at some of the better sites out there.

I never put into question the validity of PayPals deletion of FTNs account, merely pointing out that the user base does not have an obligation to donate for its survival. Businesses shut down everyday, because their customers have consumer freedom to buy elsewhere (or in this case to donate).

this is nobodys business but FTN and its users. if they wanna donate great if not then thats fine too. the community the site provides for the users, for the donations it gets is extraordinary.
 
Detale,First of all when a site asks for donations like countless times repeatedly,the tracker in reality is run by the people who donate.Without money the tracker dosent exists.And you say "the tracker dosent owe anything?".If this was the case of what.cd I would have said they owe nothing but FTN?


"Donate or the tracker is no more" was what FTN said.Its not what you care.

Detale said:
Talking shit with no proof is what irks me.

When the tracker doesnt give proof,it irks the members.

Detale said:
What do they do for us that others don't? Nothing that comes to mind ATM

So why is that you find FTN unique from others and why do you like it?

Detale said:
If i had to guess though I imagine some of them donated to help out a site that has been very good to them over the years, to give back after being given so much. Hell maybe some hoping to get invites.Again I don't know peoples motives so i guess you'll have to track them down individually or start a thread and see.

Lets put that into test.
