oh no :( poor thing
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Jesus. Get out of there asap, for your own mental health.
Not really the same, but my dad decided the go trim all the hedges outside when I visited this weekend. I just went back home and thought "welp, fuck it".
anon, could you find my first post? I don't have it in my history, but would very much like to see how I started.
Your first 10 posts, from oldest to newest. Now I want candy.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
So I joined SB-I in my desire to learn to cheat, just like everyone else I suppose.
I remember the RSR, it was an overrated tracker that everyone wanted to be a member of. FileZone.ro, renamed to SceneFZ some years later, was a small RO tracker; very little content of any kind. IPlay, on the other hand, was the crown jewel. OK-ish content, with an invite form, and the staff had connections to other trackers. Iplay was the hardest one to cheat as I recall, and the rarest of the RO trackers.
We used to have the demonoid-alternate of Romania: xtremezone.ro, or XZ; this is was badly coded that you could fake anything at any time. The staff was always bored, lazy, and incompetent. It was a significant achievement at that time. The global announces from the staff had grammar mistakes, the tracker was down most of the time, but when it worked, this had the largest content of files anywhere. This was years before filelist.ro existed.
I trashed so many accounts in my desire to learn to cheat.. there were countless.
By the end, I gotten so good at ratio cheating, proof fabrication, seeding time, content access that invites and accounts we're poring... Me and the other person I was handling these had no time to create and manage all of them. On top of that, I also had premium on some due to me being an "example" for the community.
I can assure you iPlay had little appeal for non-Romanians who already owned accounts on one or more general trackers. I found it mind-boggling to see people trading multiple invites for it and viceversa... then again, the amount of traders that weren't collectors or selling invites on the side was never high, I'm afraid.
Wasn't at RSR. Did use the (non-Romanian) ShareReactor it was named after, which was on par with Suprnova and Mininova and I guess still is, considering all three are now dead. Was at SceneFZ, CZone, LastTorrents, TorrentBits.ro, Elektronik and FreshOn, all of which have also ceased to exist.
XtremeZone is now SpeedApp.io. The source code for their sister site XtremePorn was leaked and posted here long ago, not sure if they're still operational.
Same. Was very active on the forums of many big international trackers from late 2009 to mid-2011, just for fun, and not exactly on the "rate that ass" threads. They never knew; one even promoted me to VIPOn top of that, I also had premium on some due to me being an "example" for the community.

Yes, It was worth a lot. There was a table.. not sure what is it called, where you could see the tracker levels; the rarity of them. Iplay was 6 or 7 if I remember, which was the highest ranked of all other RO trackers.I found it mind-boggling to see people trading multiple invites for it and viceversa...
Nice. If it has the staff.. well, you ca have a lot of fun, I certainly did. Probably if I tell them my name, they'll remember.XtremeZone is now SpeedApp.io. The source code for their sister site XtremePorn was leaked and posted here long ago, not sure if they're still operational.
I miss the simpler times.
Don't miss these at all. With very specific exceptions, a tracker's "level" was inversely proportional to its actual value, but that didn't stop many from believing otherwise. FTN was the epitome of this.
Staff turnover on trackers is relatively high, simply due to the amount of daily work those positions demand. It's very unlikely that someone who did it ten years and one site iteration ago is still there. For higher rank positions in charge of less visible but still very important work - server upkeep, code development, donation handling - this is less so, because lists of trustworthy candidates have very few (or zero) entries, and none of them will possess the experience that comes with running that particular place for years in any case. Nonetheless, it can still happen, and Woodenhead from Waffles is the most prolific example I can give: when he stepped down as administrator, that place started to slowly fall apart without his leadership.Nice. If it has the staff.. well, you ca have a lot of fun, I certainly did. Probably if I tell them my name, they'll remember.
But SpeedApp has an invite request form, so feel free to apply and find out yourself

Doing housework on weekends is so much fun... particularly when it's finished.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I don't know about you guys but what helps me make it fun is while I'm doing chores, my mind is in a different place: doing calculations in my head, or making plans, or just thinking about my projects. It makes time fly if you're not thinking about the chore at hand.
That just kind of makes me feel like I could be doing those plans or projects instead :(
