Was one of the changes implemented to stop abuse. I had hoped they'd leave 30-day VIP alone or raise its price at most, in order to be able to do one last giveaway of the invites I have left. Also, here's something from a reliable source...

If that's not an option then the only way to access the invite forum is by donating $10 or earning enough points for permanent VIP status. Even at the maximum rate of 6 points per hour ( without the reputation stuff which I don't understand ), it would take nearly two years to accumulate the required points.

Freeleech tokens are basically useless.

Crying in Freeleech tokens because I Got Freeleech tokens both times I opened the gifts.

Yes, or even Special Rank Status give that access, but I think that cost more.

*7 points per hour

- 2.0 FLCoins -- 0.2 FLCoins x 10 torrents
- 1.0 FLCoins -- Seeding more than 50GB
- 4.0 FLCoins -- 0.2 FLCoins for every 50GB (Limited to 1,024.00 GB)

And yeah 2 years but that is the point to weed out the not active members and give this status to people actually contributing to the site.

And on a note, always buy either pemanenet vip or Special Rank Status on some event because they are then discounted.

Yeah, you're right. I can't count.

I keep getting shitty points which I don't even need.

That's basically why I'm not permanent VIP even after all these years. I don't have 1 TB of disk space to spare solely for this purpose, and considering how generous their economy is, I'd feel bad about cheating.

Note that reportedly, Addict is enough to unlock the invite forum, but for reasons unknown this does not match my experience. I've been Elite (the rank that follows it) for a long time and never received any warnings. Anyway, I think CG is the only recruitment of interest there (with an infamous account age requirement of 5 years), the other stuff you'll already have by the time you're able to apply.

Now that you can't get invites or VIP from the boxes, I think coins are the least disappointing outcome...

I'd feel bad about cheating.

Now I'd feel the same, but back when I was just getting into this trackers, not so much.

Nope no invite forum even on Addict. You have to Either of the two pemanent roles from the shop to access those. Or well Donate.

Yep, I'd feel much better to get some coins and move towards that special rank status than the Freeleech tokens and xx gbs of download/upload. All this things are user dependent, but coins... they take some work.

I had a 20 KB/s upload speed when I joined FL (which had no coins and less freeleech at the time) but things were already easy then, trust me.

Nope no invite forum even on Addict.

Thanks for confirming that it's basically a crapshoot...

My reasoning exactly.

Finally got some coins

FL is doing the yearly Christmas lootbox. I'd paste the announcement here, but the only thing that really matters is to refresh gift.php every day until January 7th.

Buying temporary VIP remains impossible, but gift coins and shop discounts could bring you closer to getting permanent VIP...
