Thread: Trackers that are open for sign up

I have been seeing threads that just show that the tracker is open for sign up
ScienceHD - open signup!
ScienceHD Open Signups



I think it would be better to implement the posting of open for sign up trackers just in its thread on Mid-level giveaways
http://www.torrent-invites.com/mid-l...gnups-2-a.html

Despite the fact I'm the one who opened one of those, I agree there should be a single place for these things.
However, I'm not sure one thread is good enough. First of all, trackers like TL and RevTT (and SciHD to some degree) which had open signup recently are far more wanted than the rest of the trackers posted in that thread. This is why I think there should be one (sub)forum dedicated to trackers open for signup - much easier to view a list of threads in a forum than to look through all the recent pages that came up in a single thread.

imo its a good thing that more sought-after trackers' open signups are posted in the bittorrent section. The open-signups thread gets spammed all the time with trackers most people wouldn't want, and this way the more valuable ones may be overlooked easily.

For full disclosure on my opinion - I started the one of the SciHD threads first.

Take a look at the Trackers with open signups thread - since my mention of SciHD being open - there have been 3 different reposts of the open sign ups. I guess this is fine for some of the more desired trackers, but this is indicative of all the trackers. You would not believe how often Underground Gamer is put into that thread.

The problem with that thread is that there is no organization to it. And since there is no organization, it becomes hard to sift through. I am certain I am not alone in rarely visiting the open tracker signups thread since most higher trackers don't open signups regularly so it is generally spammed with the same low level tracker again and again - which is not particularly useful for me.

I posted a SciHD thread because there has been a sufficient amount of generated interest in these forums, and I figured people who don't regularly check the open signups threads would like to know about SciHD. I the rule of thumb for me is if it merits its own article in FSF about open signups, then it probably would be well received as its own thread here.

I searched the forum before posting the thread to make sure someone else hadn't beaten me to it. I think the duplication of the thread is pretty useless, which is what the open signups thread is trying to reduce. However in this case, I think many users would prefer 2 threads on a tracker they would like to be a part of than to miss an opportunity to a moderately desired tracker.

Also, if F*N magically opened its doors for only 1 hour, you are saying that it would essentially be pointless spam to post it in the Bittorrent discussion forum, and that information should be relegated to the Open Signups 2 thread where is it likely to get lost an go unnoticed by most of the members in this forum? (note the 2 means that the first thread got too big...)

Forget all these threads, it's too confusing. We have forums for cars, phones, you name it - why not just make a forum for Open Tracker Signups too?

Maybe we could have special people, that could announce when I high level tracker open's it's doors. So we all see it :) If F*N Opened signups, I'm sure we'd all gravitate to it.

Yes i agree with you guys on a sub-forum for open trackers
let's wait for a staff to post on their views about this.

I see a specific sub-forum just being spammed with "gtn open for sign-up" (synthesis's tracker) and other trackers no-one wants.

Trackers like revtt and tl that open for sign-ups are always going to attract their own thread no matter what, last time I think there was about 4 threads made about revtt lol.

Just leave it the way it is imo and if there is special interest in a tracker that opens, post a thread about it in general, if it does have interest it will float near the top. If not, it probably shouldn't have its own thread anyway.

Know of any private site that are open??
