Does TI needs to become a private forum only? General.

[silentninja]

Does TI needs to become a private forum only? Or maybe invitations based only, when the userbase will become clear. Google and other search engines are indexing threads as we speak. How good or bad it's for the PTT (private torrent trackers)? I think it's good for us, invitations seekers, but it's bad for PTT.

I think T-I should stay the way it is. It's hands down the best site for new members to get invites to lower trackers, there's no forum of T-I's caliber in this area.

There are other private/secret invite forums though..

I agree TI is not broken why change it if it works

without registration, people can browse half the forum (including 10% giveaway which leaves a darn good aftertaste for more. "hmm...i wonder what comes after 10% ?" xD). but the fancy-snantsy is locked from their greedy eyes (33% & 55% giveaways, bonuses, seedboxes, banhammer section ect.).

the main point for it being half open, is to show people what we have and how the people are in here. if they like what they see, then they can always join us. and i godda say, me loves new peeps (that don't cheat). ;D

That aren't as active as us.

Private/secret/paranoid forums tend to die or have a very low activity at some time, because eventually life catches and people have to stop posting. We are doing great, having this constant flux of people, don't need to change anything.

No need to change, with the requirement to apply to become a full member and user classes i think

If this was invite only, I would never have gotten in! :)

As well, the only reason I found this site is because some of it was public. I wanted to get a seedbox, so I was googling up seedbox reviews and kept getting the seedbox review forum on this site. Then I checked out the site and signed up!

t-i is public and it's the nice way, because most secret/private BT forums are dead or not active :/

I was member from a secret forum (don´t have any problems to say the name if anyone wants to know), and when i say secret, it was only by invite. It had many good things, but everyone was seeing that day by day the forum was dying, and it died. Not public, not seen, not living too long.

Torrent-invites will never go invite only. Thread closed.
