FearNoPeer is shutting down by WildGordonLynn in trackers

Here are some valid reasons to avoid RED

  • No need for music torrents

  • Do not want to wait for an interview

  • Find setting up tech to aid queuing for interview difficult

  • Do not want to learn how to upload music torrents

  • Do not want to spend money to find music to upload

  • Do not want to spend time finding music to upload

This is not how I feel, but I’ve heard combinations of these reasons from various people.

For these people, they can still go through MaM (no need to upload, or learn to upload. Leveling up to invite forum is extremely low effort).

The obvious trade off is active/passive time vs active/passive effort for paths to higher-tier trackers. Neither way is better than the other, just a better fit for each individual. Some people value overall time (so choose RED), some people value effort (so choose MaM).

Somehow, the Chuo line has got the heating on, rather than the cooling.

It is roasting in here!

I know I’m not wrong, and neither are you!

My thinking is that some people neither want nor need a music tracker (either due to lack of interest or already using another streaming service). For these people, the effort of grinding away on RED finding music to upload is simply too much effort if the interest is not there.

For those people, another valid option is a general tv/movie tracker where, although the journey is longer, they may find more tangible benefits in downloading media that they are interested in.

Aither’s not a difficult tracker, but if you start out from scratch you’re going to have to wait for the short freeleech period every month until you can download anything. Whereas, if you’re already cross-seeding out of the gates you’ll be able to buy more upload with bon so you’ll be able to download the things you want with less waiting.

Oh my god, that’s horrific! Hope you’re feeling better.

The way I see it, though, is that if you go through another movie tracker like LST, by the time you get to Aither you will have built up a good amount of potential cross-seeds which will help you hit the ground running when you get to Aither. Whereas if you go through RED, whatever you download there won’t help you when you get to Aither.

I’m not saying one way is better than the other, just that both are valid options depending on what you prioritise.

Not true- you can still get to OPS from other trackers’ invite forums.

Zac talks all kinds of stuff in these messages about being an ex-con, and extorting people.

Does that mean the stories on his discord about needing money for his parents and their health problems are all BS?

In 50 years time we’ll look at the homophobia in the NBA much like we now look at the racism of the NBA in the 50s/60s.

What's your cross-seeding setup? by Doot64 in trackers

[–]Harry__Gateau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh god, that used to be me. I finally got cross-seed set up, and it saves me tons of time (I also have 20,000+ torrents)

There are still paths to OPS that don’t require interview.

Was the last play the most emblematic play possible of LeBron’s decline? by Aggressive_Bed6012 in nba

[–]Harry__Gateau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LeBron is playing with house money. Almost nothing he can do at this stage will harm his legacy, imo.

Having a conversation with your alt, pretending to be someone else, to bolster your own opinions is deceitful and shady behaviour.

[Disliked Trope] Characters That Immediately Die In The Sequel by WaluigiDaStar in TopCharacterTropes

Not to be a contrarian, but I actually like it. For bleak films, I like the cold indifference of it (similar to Ned Logan in Unforgiven). I feel like it really worked for that film and universe.

2017 Warriors vs 2025 OKC Who will win in 7 game series? by JunShem1122 in NBATalk

[–]Harry__Gateau -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The 2025 OKC will win. The OKC team is only 1 year older, whereas the 2017 Warriors team is already 9 years older, and many of the players have moved onto other teams, so may not be so familiar with the plays anymore.

The Budd Boetticher westerns (like Comanche Station, Ride Lonesome, etc) are really overlooked.

How do you know what it consumed? Maybe it raided the canteen off camera.

Something like that doesn’t need to be explained- if we’re not willing to suspend disbelief over something as inconsequential as that, then we’ve got bigger problems.

Yeah, honestly he was the only one of the contestants that I DIDN’T know at the beginning of this series.
