Thread: Seedbox Review Section

I was looking for a new seedbox today and whilst looking through all of the reviews it occurred to me that of all the nooks and crannies in this site the seedbox review section feels like the corner of an old dusty attic that’s still used everyday. The “seedbox review” sticky now has almost 30,000 views and I think it would be very helpful and beneficial to veteran users looking for a new seedbox or new users looking to get started to reorganize and clean up this great asset.

The way I would propose and what has been proposed before is very much like the tracker review section with individual topics for each seedbox and the accompanying posts regarding them, then make stickies with the category information (we could even organize them by price, how much speed max, payment plans, ect.). It could well prove a difficult task in coming up with categoricals that would stay constant, as updating quite often would be necessary, but even just name and a price range would help so much.

Before I decided to post I searched the suggestion forum and another thing that was suggested in regards to seedboxes came up that was posted by Vegas in July and that was to create a new givaway subsection for seedboxes. A few counterpoints were brought up, (here is the link to the thread: Give Seedboxes Section - Free Advertising) mainly in regards to this concept being for “advertising”, but I really think this idea is a great way to get people into and on seedboxes as well as give users something else to use this site for. There has been a lot of discussion about raising the requirements either for entrance into the invites section as a whole or specifically the mid level forum as 20 posts is not that difficult, and I agree with all of this, but what if there was a fourth section added in the give invites that is between mid and VIP or between low and mid. This way it would encourage seeding for users looking to get into higher tiered trackers as well as encourage users to have giveaways with a real sub-forum rather than the contest giveaway.

On another note in my mind this would also ease any transition of raising the mid-level giveaways’ requirements or just be a way to narrow the chasm between mid-level invites and trusted giveaways.

You are suggesting two separate things :
regarding the first suggestion : totally agree with you , seedbox review thread goes way back to 2008 , a very good idea is to make a new one similar to the tracker review section , reviews arranged according to price , the user feedback from the users of a company would be the best way to decide on which seedbox .


Second suggestion of another section between above/under mid level isn't going to be of a difference imo . The current system depends on not only posts and longevity but also rep , which is deservably gained throughout one's stay in TI .

Hi T-I Members !!

I was thinking about this idea for a couple of weeks after renting a seedbox for the first time and then i found this thread and another 2 regarding this suggestion ( Thread 2 & Thread 3).

The idea is great, since it will help people find Seedbox reviews quicker and easier. It could look similar to Tracker reviews Section.

It will be really great if a Sub-section(Seedbox Reviews) can be created in the "Seedbox / Hosting" section, so it can included sticky posts like;

• Review Rules (Same as this sticky)
• Review Index (Similar to this sticky, Index including Name, Price, HDD space, Speed)
  

Threads to be created for each company and organized in alphabetic order.

I think if a thread for each company will be created, it will motivate people to submit a review about a service provider more often. Rewards for submitting a seedbox review is not necessary in my opinion.

In conclusion, I'm sure that people will find the Seedbox review section useful before renting a seedbox, regardless if it's your first time or not.


ps. sorry for my bad English.

I love the seedbox review idea. I'll discuss it with the rest of the staff.

Let me know if I can help. My script would run with almost no changes.

I want to get a seedbox, but I have no idea where to start. Something like this would be perfect for me, and I feel a lot of members are in the same boat as I. Seedboxes involve spending actual money, not just invitations, so the choice is a bit stressful. With the quality of reviews for trackers we have, I'm sure these guides will be of a high quality, and aid users with picking a company, and a service.

I am also interested in this seeing as I just changed isp's and was leaning more toward a seedbox but have no idea whats current and competitive. This would be most beneficial and have me posting inquires about user feedback.
