I don't understand private trackers recruitment, and never will especially the top ones. Thanks to to trackers Like RED you have people spending hundred dollars a month on seed boxes while people that can't afford one have to slowly build their buffer. Spotify, and others services have diminished the popularity of music trackers you would think they would make it easier, and more fun.

All of exclusive sites mostly recruit on RED like passthepopcorn, and broadcasthenet

Somehow there is a hierarchy for online piracy, and I wish it could be more like myanonamouse

    I just realized RED is redacted? Someone on here gave me an invite a year or two ago and I'm maintaining a ratio of ~2 after seeding some fat jazz FLACs.

    I never interviewed or anything, someone just went out on a limb for me and I've been a moderately good private tracker citizen since. I had no idea this site had all this baggage.

      partially this is me being upset about trying to into RED I patiently wait for, and can not wait in IRC for weeks to do the interview due to a personal reason.

      They also have issues where their IRC disconnects when waiting queue.

      The seedbox races are a real issues they make early seeding of new torrents unfair.

        If I didn't have a fairly easy in, I'd probably be annoyed right there with you. I never liked the insular private trackers but it's been extremely useful for me so I'm split.

          I wouldn’t mind the interview system if I had any accommodations at all. I understand they’re volunteers, but staying in queue all day, and missing the 15 window to start the interview. Then having start all over again in the queue because you missed the interview
