What happened v2

[The Shutter]

That's what we thought of this and this. I'd love to be proven wrong, but that appears to be a utopia.

But hey, at least we have the cheating quick links index.

yeah the problem is inactivity of members here , i don't see a lot of people here even though the forum help members boost their ratio

if you want to donate SaintShaolin please send Rebound a PM!

We should make that more visible.

Sorry, I cannot donate now.
I only have $2 from NeoBux. LOL.

not a problem. donations are optional.

Does giving a Donation enable certain functions in the forum?

[anon]

Yes. 100 posts per every euro that's donated.

Nope, it doesn't. It used to be a star next to your nick, but nowadays I'm not sure we have that. Superbums was the only one to ever have it, anyway...

[SaintShaolin]

Given that there's no official donate button,
I wonder how they manage to pay for server costs.
Is there a cheating method for that, too?
You think mRatio will work? LOL. Just kidding. :)

[anon]

More like mOutOfTheSysops'PocketsRatio...

i'm afraid it's not that easy

Give me a What.cd Sysop account and I'll gladly try.

a sysop account not even a regular account to upload

Nope, and saying the word "seedbox" is grounds for an immediate ban.

Sure they are, feel free to post them in the BT Talk section.

ok will do

My biggest fear is that some day this site may go down and I... lose contact with all the friends I've made here.

This forum should only close if it becomes economically impossible to keep it running, or we (the staff) no longer find its administration to be an enjoyable experience. So far none of those has happened, although server costs are a bitch at times, and donations can be counted with my hands' fingers (I have two hands with five fingers each).

I'll be fair, I haven't donated either. With my country's current exchange rates, even a "small" amount like 10 euro becomes prohibitive.

for people to donate you'll have to make the forum more exciting for them ex:making a vip section for ga invites like x264,bh,chdbits...etc

And turn this into another invite forum where you can donate for perks and stuff? No. One thing I've always liked about this place is that it's by no means like those aforementioned forums.

Also, who would provide the invites?

Members will provide invites as we do now, anyway you may want to put again the donate button that accept ( paypal , webmoney , moneybookers , alertpay....etc)

[SaintShaolin]

I think making this place an invite forum is not a good idea.
Can you imagine that - invites and cheating at the same place? BANG!
(But of course we can always have giveaways without asking for anything in return)

AND if the SysOps are not asking us money to help pay server costs,
I think it's also good. It means that the forum can stand on its own,
and SysOps don't have to give in to the demands of the users/donators.
(But of course, we should be all open to suggestions)

We already have invites and cheating in the same place.

The invite section is however just a "plus".

Things used to be better around here. At its peak, back in 2009, this place would easily get 150-200 posts per day, sometimes nearing 300. Now it's no longer like that. I don't know what happened.

2 years ago I think TorrentFreak had written a great article aboout SBI µTorrent packs... Maybe it's a cause of the peak. Plus, it would be interesting to refine the comparison concerning the number of posts, in taking into account informmative posts or Tuto pots, and only "question post". The more the site become complete, the less one tends to ask questions, because the answer is already somewhere on the site.

And how about the number of visits per day, or the number of time the written posts are read ?

We should make that more visible.

Holly God, so, there is a donation button on this site ??? I never have seen it ! Making it more visible is an urgence !
PS: Does SBI accept Ukash ?

[anon]

That was FSF, and back on mid-2008. It did give us many new users, most of which seemed to fit the image of the clueless noob, heh. That wave doesn't compare to the one caused by another article posted last year, where we were acknowledged as one of the biggest trading forums around. Apparently, BT has more traders than cheaters.

You may be right about less question posts and therefore a lower perception of activity. And we've advanced light years since those times, that's true. There was no working RM, RMeX, Extreme Mod, Serenity, ProxyFake and the other countless tools we have now. The tutorials section was much more empty, and the forum less organized than it is now (no reviews subforum, no cheating experiences subforum).

Those stats you mention, if the forum keeps track of them, then I can't find them anywhere.
