Invites/Interviews will be done in PM only : Please wait till you are pm'd

Now I'm confused, best is to wait I think.

Invites/Interviews will be done in PM only : Please wait till you are pm'd

I think it means IRC PMs - i.e. private conversations. In that case, it shouldn't be too different from What.cd's, for example.

By the way, GFT itself appears to be down:

It's not just you! thegft.org looks down from here.

Use the non HTTPS URL.

I have tried both.

Never mind, it works now

I am getting error like this:

500 - Internal Server Error

[anon]

I get HTTP 500 too now. Seems their server is a bit rocky.

[shawshankraj]

Now it's working.

It is a good thing they're doing it again,the tracker is so dead over there with no active leechers most of the time,so hopefully they can turn it into another IPT soon.

[KalPenn]

Looks like it won't happen. They are blaming traders and filesharingtalk for this.

FILEnetworks Blog: GForces Tracker (GFT) – IRC invites will open on 9/5/2009

[anon]

Invites: CLOSED!!!!!!!! o/ There wont be any invites in saturday most you can thank to Traders! We will be open when FST closes for good ^^

I see... perhaps the whole thing was set up?

[shawshankraj]

Don't add GFT as a one more tracker to your tracker list.
Reason:
Torrent download in 3 or 4 days
They have great pretime but not much seeder activity on torrent
Their max. seeder on torrent is like 20
U r able to find 1 seeder on most of tracker but u never able to connect to this 1 seeder
It's a good site only for pretime not for downloading stuff

P.S I believe TL is greatest tracker on the whole planet

Yes it was. They are facing server issues and they are blaming traders. They must fix their server than start to care about traders. Making such statements is going to encourage more traders and they think they can effect FST by making such statements lol. They are going to make FST more popular.

[alpacino]

Bummer! And I had my hopes high. I was all getting ready for the interview. Maybe sometime in the future. And I agree to KalPenn, they won't make FST close because of this LOL, it looked like a child attitude.
