Their IRC is completely dead. No mods/admins active.
I just checked and I have 15 referrals. I had 3 about a week ago and those disappeared. Now I am up to 15.
There was an issue just last week with lost referrals wasn't there? I thought I read about that in another thread.
oh, that's why I found everyone has like ten referrals for BCG ... the funny thing that he allowed trading invites .... the first time in my life I see a site owner allow trading his site invites :laugh:
It seems as they pruned old accounts. My account got pruned, and they have no record of it, so they allowed me to get an invite and get back into BCG!
^ You know there is an edit button and there is no need to spam your post count right? ^^
Anyhow more users means more activity. More activity means more donations. More donations mean more hookers and booze.....oh, and a slight server tweak maybe? I'm not apart of BCG yet, this might be an excellent time to get in.
Retired and happy :)
Maybe they are just looking for email adresses to do some phising, or they are not using any password encryption so that they have a full database of usernames vs passwords, so they can check on other trackers and try to login and steal invites?
or it's just me being paranoid :P
No, you are not paranoid. I'm actually one of those people gathering usernames as I invite people to the site. Be wary of me!
I hope I will get one invite :)
I've heard a lot of BCG and its strictness regarding to invites, cheating, trading etc... this whole thing suprises me as much as U guys and, like someone has mentioned before, why don't they just completely open the door ? I don't know, it's very strange to something like that, in my opinion, there must be a catch in all this...
the 1st reason that came into my mind were donations... about 200 thousand new members means a lot more money... but, I must return to my previous thought about BCG as a strict & regulated tracker, it would be very strange to change an order & community just for the money...
I think it will be a precedent in a torrent world...
