• Rules
  

The Administration of this web site is born sadists and bloodsuckers, which is looking to find a way to torment the users, while incorporating the most severe tortures imaginable. The only way to avoid this is not to attract our attention to your persona. That means you should upload and download files, while keeping your ratio as close as possible to 1. You should not post stupid comments to the torrents. And if you get caught doing any of this, do not wine and tell as that you were not previously warned!

• Bonus System

I couldn't find it English but from asking around I found you get one point an hour for seeding any amount of torrents.

• Userclasses/Promotion

Again, couldn't find it in English but from asking around, there are three classes:
User (starting)
Power User (5gb uploaded, ratio 1.0+)
Uploader (has uploaded 200 torrents)

• Invite System
  

Site is currently open so I couldn't find it.

• IRC Details

Couldn't find any details about irc, this is as close as it gets:

• Donation System/ Page

None I could see.

• Ratings & Personal Commentary

After seven days I find this site amazing. I have found many great new bands and artists I never heard of, some are Russian.
There's plenty of rare content around, most of it simply doesn't exist anywhere else (nope, not even on waffles and what).

Almost every relatively new album uploaded is in 320/V0 VBR quality, and some FLAC's around. Many bands has their full discographies uploaded. There's also some official music videos.
The speeds are good as far as I can see and torrents are seeded for a long time.

The only downside of this tracker is the fact that it's mostly in Russian, I can't login with Google translate and I can barely read Russian much less have the necessary vocabulary to know my way around. Also, the FAQ is completely in Russian so if I have a question I have to ask in the chat, which leads me to next subject.

The chat is always active and has a positive feel, (although they talk about me in Russian all the time so I won't understand them) the admins and mods know English and they are helpful.

In conclusion: I am in love with this tracker!

all i want to know... does it have scene mp3s for black and death metal (new and old)? If yes, then it is worth my time getting in... if not, then NOT! Yes, I am sure SCENE stuff is what I'm after (preferred v0-v2, but 160 & 192 cbr is acceptable with regards to older scene releases, of course).

Hmmm, not sure. Give me a specific popular release to look for.

i thought i replied to this...

hmm. mgla - with hearts towards none, is one i want scene released but i havent seen it yet. i already got lunar aurora - hoagascht and forgjord - sielunvihollinen... but if they have either of those, it may be indicative that they got what i'm after. i know these are all on what.cd, but what doesn't have EVERYTHING.
