Think you hit it on the head re: IZ...+1 as far as a great userbase, met several quality p2p folks there who I still bs with on occasion. But, like you, I've think I've had my fill of the invite sites...but it being private, invite only, and non-trader made it nice while it lasted.

Wouldn't ever do that. FST is cool, but I'd never ditch it for CFS.

maybe you should stop signing up to every invite forum if you feel that way
you obviously know fst is superior to T.I. though by your own admission you don't have the foggiest what that is. So why comment on something you know feck all about. idiot

But this is an invite AND a threading Forum.
:wank:
No comment...
i can only speak fot T.I. but...
i am a member of t.i. and have been for well over a year. i use this forum much more than here because it is much more informative and has some fantastic members. its much easier to make friends there than it is here and noobs are actually welcomed and helped.
the staff at t.i. are quite strict but rightly so, as its not only their job to keep the forums in order but they stop the idiots getting on the trackers and should be thanked for the job they do.
i laugh at some of the comments in this thread..lol... "i was a member of invite zone" some one says..AhAh.. well so was i. IZ was made up of 80% t.i members. the cream of ti were sent i pm from D------ to join I.Z. almost everyone there had every tracker below ftn which was hardly ever given away. so it became just a chatbox, then finally closed.
T.I. is a fantastic forum for the noobs as they dont get shot down with sarcasm like here and if they are willing to be a good honest members they will defo reek the benifits, get all the info they need and eventually get their dream tracker. good members at t.i. are definitly rewarded.
unlike this place T.I. is non trading, new members must also join another forum first to prove their worth before being able to join T.I. i cant understand why when all trackes hate trading that fst has a trading section.
I admit T.I. is full of idiots but thats usually the noobs, but most the idiots here have been here for years and claim to be full of knowledge, they shoot down noobs and crusify anyone setting up a new tracker. Well almost everyone at T.I has signed up for the most proising new tracker created for years, yet there is absolutly no mention of it here in any thread
. lol some members here didn't even know that CN had spent the last three weeks open sign up.
memebrs of fst ned to open their eyes and take off their blinkers as there is a much more open world outside of fst.

Like that one run by a little Romanian trying to get into BCG. He couldn't even write a proper sentence. Just reading anything written by him hurts my brain.
Word has been going around of him being the owner of BitMeDino.
I'm just curious what you guys think of tracker invite forums, like TI, TR, whatever. I always see them advertised as a invite forum "built on community", which I feel like a load of crap. I have joined a couple of them from reading blogs and have left with a sour taste in my mouth. Here are some of my thoughts:
1. Single minded thought train, no individual opinion
All the posts I see are "good idea", "good post", "well said", "this is a good post", yadda yadda yadda. Every post is in support of another post, and there never seems to be any actual arguing or speaking out. Every one seems to be kissing each other's ass, and I never really see people really express individual, unique opinions. How do you build a community based only on everyone agreeing?
2. Quality of posts degenerate
Everyone is out for themselves. In every GA post requirement is a must, and it becomes a given in a forum like that that more posts = better reputation. It feels like everyone is in a rat race to build up posts, and I've rarely, if ever see multi sentence/paragraph posts.
3. Quality of members degenerate
The only people that join these places seem to be, well, collectors desperately on the lookout for more invites. They read the blogs and constantly pounce on any invite site to inflate the ranks with more people just purely seeking out to collect trackers as their primary ambition. They seem to be the generic member who can never quite put a sentence together, always seem to go "plz can i has this invite i want it for community thx in advance". There posts are less than useful and it seems like all that's on their mind is getting more invites.
4. Witch hunt against traders
I have seen some of the report threads against traders, and boy are they brutal, especially if a notable member starts the thread. It turns into an all out witch hunt, with almost no regard as to whether the person is actually innocent. I realize that trading is bad for a tracker, but these people take it to the next level. They hunt him down, try to find his IP's, and ask anyone who is in those trackers to report him, in an attempt to get him banned. Maybe this isn't terrible, but what if hes innocent? I saw the other day a topic made saying that the OP "was sorry" for a previous report he made, and that he was mistaken. Another prominent member came in and said that, the members there would be willing to help him in any way, and would try to get him any invite for a site he was banned from. This really exemplifies this "witch hunt aspect". Since it's a given to just believe what someone says to kiss up to them and in order to not speak out, they automatically assume the accused is guilty. And when a thread comes out saying "I'm sorry, I was wrong", it may already be too late. The damage is already done.
5. Staff
It may be wrong to judge people by the quality/spelling/punctuation of their posts, but on many of those sites it just seems like the staff is too lazy to put a basic sentence together. Half the spelling is completely wrong, and the other half of the time I have to read a post 2-3 times just to understand what he was saying. Maybe I shouldn't judge like this, but it makes me really wonder what kind of people run this place. And then I see staff/moderators with signatures such as "Looking for ftn, if you have please help me". Honestly, I feel like that reduces them down to any other member there. Just like the normal members who join the sites, they are just the same, creating/modding a forum just for the sake of "sucking up" and hopefully getting into a dream tracker. Maybe its just me, but I feel like any sort of staff should never be desperately asking for invites like that in their signature.
How do you create a "community" like that?
Thoughts?

The only invite forum that I ever took an interest in was (IZ) before they shut. It was a private, non-trader site where the admins had to pre-approve all new members. Staff as well as members kept a verrry keen eye out for any traders...which were drawn and quartered upon discovery. :shifty:
Overall it was a great place cuz of the active forums, a very active shout box and above all some of the most genuinely nice people I've ever come across in P2P over the last 8 years. Tho the site is no more, I still bs with the peeps from there all the time around the irc channels.
As for open public invite forums that allow trading...just not my cup of tea to put it lightly, very lightly.
I know there's several private, non-trader invite forums around now...maybe it's time I have a look/see and ask around..try and find one I like.

I agree on all your points Rart. I'd say the majority of the members on those invite-only boards are there solely for the invites. After all, they where created by and for l33t traders, lol.
