I was going to ask whether the "requirements" would be raised from 10 euros to 20, but didn't want to spam too much
Right now, the fact you can get invited to PTP through it
Silliness aside, iTS is a small ratio-free tracker that offers predominantly movies and music. Many of the uploads are rips made by their own members. Its biggest defining feature is, or at least used to be, the availability of exclusive AFR (Advanced Filesize Regulation) movie releases carefully tuned to fit inside an exact fraction of a DVD5. So you can burn six 1/6 encodes, four 1/4 ones, etc.
In the past they were one of those supersecret trackers, insisting on being referred to as "*TS" or "***", having a fake login page, disallowing reviews and generally being difficult to join. As a result, they had more traders and collectors than members actually using the site. These policies were relaxed over time; recruitment is now fairly accessible, and while the fake page is still there, it's an open secret by now (the review thread here says how to bust through it).
And they've managed to exist for around 13 years and counting, which is pretty impressive on its own and definitely does not remind me of CosaNostra *snicker*

PTP recruit at iTS: The VIP rank as a donation reward has just been removed now, which means users must be at Shade class (which requires 6 months joined time) above to apply now.
Any idea if Orpheus has an invite forum? If so then what user class? Does it have valuable trackers within?
Many people thought it was fake, and I was surprised myself. But if you think about it, iTS is actually a good choice for this recruitment, perhaps better than the ones you mentioned, because...
- it has a small userbase, which makes for a manageable pool of applicants;
- its main attractive is movies, so there is a significant audience for the offer of a bigger and better movie tracker;
- requirements are set fairly high, meaning applicants must have displayed good long-term seeding habits and likely knowledge on how to encode and upload video as well, both very necessary on a "library" site like PTP.
Besides, if they feel that they've invited enough people or the experiment isn't paying off, they can close the tap at any time.
As I recall, there is no invite system. They open (or at least opened) signups regularly, so keep checking until you get lucky, I guess. The registration form is extremely exasperating to deal with, as it checks for password complexity, whether you've actually clicked on the rules and FAQ links, and even if you used JavaScript to bypass the 60-second delay.
In any case, TBy has historically been a poor man's TL, but if you're already on the latter or any of IPT, FL.ro or RevTT, you won't be missing anything. I've had several accounts... all lost to inactivity.
I doubt they don't, did you check the GitHub link in the first post?
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I thought maybe if they had an invite forum and BTN people were telling me I can get back in via RED, Orpheus would be given the same consideration. I guess not... Then again I don't see BTN listed as having recruitment anywhere.
I was basically told recruitment would get my account back. I wasn't told if an invite would. So.. I was hoping to do it their way. I don't want to leave any room for excuses.
EDITED.....
