Thread: Bittorrent discussion ---> Find a tracker

Friendly suggestion:



I think there are too many specific forums on the board right now. Specifically, for BitTorrent, there is BT news, tracker reviews, and BT discussion. I don't have a specific plan on condensing them, but I do have something thought up in regards to what is currently going on in the BT discussion forum.

In BT discussion, most threads are as follows: 'Where can I find a tracker for (category), specifically for (category within a category)'

I think there should be an area of the board, where threads can be made for each category, and in the first post, definitive answers on the best place to go for categories within categories (like politics within ebooks, or mystery within movies). How to get definitive answers is up to you...there could possibly be forum-wide votes.

This would be a big resource and may clear up the boards a little. BT news could be merged with BT discussion, for example, and BT discussion could be actual BT discussion instead of people asking where they can find this and that.

This is a good idea except people shouldn't necessarily be asking these questions. There is no "best" tracker for any category. There are pros and cons to every tracker.

That is what tracker reviews are for. They are there so people can compare them and make a decision for themselves rather than asking the opinion of those, who may or may not be members on several sites in the questioned category.

I would suggest we keep the tracker reviews updated and keep those threads to a minimum.

I think that the reviews section covers this. You can look up reviews on tracker genre's, and, for example, check out all the reviews on music trackers.

I think that in the BT discussion, you may want to ask more specific questions, like what is the best tracker for classic rock, or drum and bass, or whatever.

It does make me a little annoyed when people just ask what is the best HD trackers without doing any research themselves. I would totally respect it, if someone said, for example "I read the HD tracker reviews, and I think HDT or BitHDTV is the right one for me, before I start applying in GA's can members of those trackers tell me what they like and dislike most about those trackers."
