How did you discover T-I?

**BatTaser** · July 13th, 2012, 05:59 PM

I thought it would be fun to know how people found out about T-I.

For me, I had been a long time Demonoid user (Hi, I am BatTaser and I am a recovering Demonoid user), but got tired of the crappy selection of comic books, and the site going down 4x/day.

So, I randomly googled comic book tracker reviews, which lead me to a review here. At first I thought this was another trading/selling site so I dismissed it, but after looking around for a bit I realized this was one of the best BT resources on the net.

So, feel free to share, or not, your stories. Kind of curious to see how/why people joined!

Good thread idea, BatTaser2003.

For me, it was when I suddenly got access to a seedbox, and only had a couple of tracker accounts. I wanted more so I could take full use of the box.

I had no idea a site which was this fantastic existed - I, like you, had seen invite forums in the past, with their trading and selling of invites, so it was a stroke of luck that I randomly found this site when looking for information and reviews about trackers. If T-I wasn't so high up on so many google searches for trackers, I'd never have found it.

t's kinda weird, because it's the kind of place which SHOULD be talked about and recommended on private tracker forums, but there's always the fear you're going to get shunned because trackers have an irrational hatred of invite giveaways. Hmm.

So true. Which is why I really respect trackers that openly recruit here (like PTP)

wow, this is not nearly as popular as I thought it would be. Maybe should have made the thread in brain stew!

I got invited to Demonoid on another forum (regarding games and such) and thought it was the greatest thing ever at the time.
Then if I remember correctly, I must've googled something like private trackers to research a bit more on them and this site popped up.

For me it was early 2009 and a girlfriend and I were trying to find a movie to download. I was only a member of a few trackers at the time, and desperately wanted to join a particular movie tracker (can't recall which one) and so I searched for "torrent invites" which naturally led me to T-I. We are the top ranked in Google Search for "torrent invites" after all. :) I signed up, discovered what a fantastic community I'd landed in, and never looked back. T-I has changed a lot since I first arrived. We've grown our numbers by leaps and bounds, adapted new policies, opened our forum to tracker reps, developed an introduction system to help weed out the "bad apples", and even built our own IRC. I've seen both staff and members come and go, but all have left their mark here in some way. There's always something happening at T-I, and that's why I love it - it's never boring!

Honestly, I value this place a lot more than I do my trackers -- the people here are among some of the best I've ever met. I was so thrilled to be asked to join the staff and become a part of shaping this community into a respected and likable invite forum. And I am so grateful, three years later, to remain here, continuing in that endeavor. Thank you all for being great members!

same for me, was part of three trackers before joining t-i in 2010, but allways felt like I was missing out on something, so when google found t-i for me, I found what i was missing out on, it was T-I
the main reason at the start of joining t-i was to get more trackers, and then realized how much more t-i has to offer as a community, so not only did i get more trackers but also have made some friends world wide :)

via google.. i was looking for tl invite then.. it was hard to find for me, then t-i came out in my seach as number one. Been a member since then, and i value our community so so much because i got
to join torrentleech because of this. i earned more difficult trackers to be part of as well. it has been a superb journey, and now i was honored by fellow members and staff to be an exalted.

After Cheggit went south I wanted to get an invite to some other board which could possibly be as good. When searching on duckduckgo for places where I could get an invite, I found this place where people actually give away their invites in a spirit of sharing. This warmed my heart and since then I have used too much time idling these forums, looking for interresting threads to comment in and for invites to good porn trackers. :)

after being on open trackers for a long time i started to look for some privet trackers to join, on google ofc, after looking for some time i could not find any that had a open sign up, i needed to be invited to all the ones i found. then i found this website

I was also oblivious to the amount of private trackers in existence. I basically used Demonoid for everything.

One day, one of my friends mentioned a tracker called bitGAMER. He did not have an account there, so I took it upon myself to search for a way to get an invite.

Eventually, I ended up on T-I. Surprisingly, bitGAMER was the first tracker that I got an invite for. I've been here ever since!
