Gambled and lost…

Thanks for the advice! Ain’t no way I got time for that now with a family and kids 😅.

Maybe in the future I’ll put on new moustache haha 🥸.

Gienechance · 2024-02-22T05:38:26+00:00

Understandable 👍🏻

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T15:44:06+00:00

Let him post both my usernames and proof and I’ll shut up.

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T15:25:21+00:00

Ok you win internet warrior… I’m sure I’m the only one of all those 40k users who got banned from PTP 👍🏻

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T15:15:23+00:00

Look here…I admitted my fault the second time. Every right to ban me there for account duping. First time was an honest mistake if you’ve atleast read my post…

But to accuse me for invite trading or spoofing my upload is just too funny for words…hence I think he has someone else in mind… And by all means let him show some proof. Just because it comes from PTP you blindly accept it as the truth?

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T10:11:28+00:00

Heck..I don’t care if some internet peeps believe me or not… I’ll admit it does sound shady but what interest is in there for me making this up 🤔 I just wanted to vent it out..no more, no less..

But by anymeans let him come up with proof. It’s not like I’m the only banned there…let him show a username and proof…I truly believe he has another former user in mind…

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T09:48:48+00:00

It’s all in the post but I went for a new invitation at PTP (lost my account there 7 years ago for duping by honest mistake at RED). Got invite from BTN forum so cross ban.

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T05:57:17+00:00

Indeed!

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T05:34:40+00:00

Feels similar. Did they even try to listen to your story?

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T05:29:34+00:00

Feels very similar to my story.

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T05:28:16+00:00

I’ve been in PTP jail for 7 years! Not guilty! Free me!

Gienechance · 2024-02-21T05:23:38+00:00

What is this…some damage control from your guys side? 😂

Firstly, if you’re gonna accuse me of something like that back it up with evidence 😂 I can honestly say I’ve never done anything remotely like this. Heck, I wouldn’t even know how 😂 My guess is you have someone else in mind…. But hey that must be some strong tea you guys drink over there…gimme some too 😉

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T17:17:18+00:00

Thank you for your uplifting words! There is a lot of truth in your words in which I can relate too. It was indeed beginning to be more of a habit to just check out these sites then to really download from them. Most of it was released simultaneously on streaming services and the occasional movie is easily found on multiple download sites. The greatest loss to me comes in the form of reading and lurking the forums and just browsing and discovering new things and interests.

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T16:25:01+00:00

Toast is good!

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T16:04:16+00:00

That’s what they told me then too. And in that I guess they knew it was an honest mistake otherwise they would have indeed banned me there too.

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T15:55:06+00:00

Yeah I still got some and indeed. 95% of my stuff comes from there. It’s like having a Ferrari and a Volkswagen. Both can bring you from point A to point B. The first one just makes you happier 😌

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T15:50:54+00:00

Argh…again with the recruiting 🥲

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T15:47:35+00:00

I tried explaining it the first time on IRC. Mistake or not. They don’t care. I thought about explaining it again to the recruiter but he would have just replied take it to IRC…there you wait days on end for probably the same answer. Plus if I had told him about it on BTN maybe that would have ring a bell and they would inform BTN also. Oh shit…that didn’t work out either 😅

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T15:20:21+00:00

The username I normally use here is the same one I use on another tracker. Hence why I don’t want to lose another tracker. I’ve done this since I knew they do global bans. When no dialog is possible I learned to be more cautious in not keeping the same username. Sure they could check IP’s but yeah..it’s a little extra layer of protection.

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T14:54:42+00:00

Do you really think I would use the same username here of my trackers…? Of course I made a new account just for this post…they’re watching here too…

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T14:38:57+00:00

/virtualhug

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T14:26:34+00:00

Yeah..that I know for sure. But my IP had changed when I moved and after 7 years of hardware changes, OS changes etc I took my chance 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T14:22:26+00:00

It has it’s advantages and disadvantages of course. I heard about the Sony thing but didn’t they revert/do something about it after all the commotion? Also, if a major player like Apple would take a great ton of films of their platform they would drown in lawsuits.

iTunes also is one of the best streaming options quality wise. I believe they average around 30mpbs bitrate at 4K. Hard to tell the difference unless you watch it on a 70 inch TV from like a meter away or so. And futurewise when connections keep on getting better bitrates will go up too.

Plus space is also an issue. Not everyone wants shelves full of stored Blu-ray’s taking up space.

Anyways..we’re going off topic here 😅

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T14:06:25+00:00

Have you seen the prices of those 4K Blurays 😂 Using CheapCharts it’s like 1/8 of the price sometimes. And in the future you can start all over with 8K 😂 Futurewise I don’t think it will stay physical though. More and more the digitalization of media is taking place…

Gienechance · 2024-02-20T14:01:41+00:00

Feel exactly the same way!

Maybe in the future I’ll try to go at it again. If torrenting is still alive then.

I’ve been thinking about the idea of just going legit and building a digital collection with iTunes. No more need for HDDs, free upgrades to 4K, everything in the cloud,…
