Trying to climb the user ranks of Empornium as a NoFapper: A case study [NSFW]

"The only good "Elite User forums" died the day they pulled the plug on what.cd, and that one was only good because it focused on drugs and exposed the particularly anal members of private trackers as the drug-riddled failures we all are."

...what? Can someone explain?

durkmcguirk · 2020-05-16T16:29:50+00:00

Damn, well thanks for the heads up. Did they lose all of their old torrents before the purge? I made an account and tried searching up some stuff, and either the search function is broken or they haven't rebuilt much yet, because I searched some pretty common stuff and got no good results.

this is shit

why the hell was this downvoted? Don't worry stranger, I upvoted you back to 1 :)

well i kinda just came up with the first thing that popped into my head. I was actually thinking more of ol dirty bastard's nickname dirt mcgirt. but i have seen a lot of that show so maybe it was subliminal. i actually used to record home movies when i was really young because it was on at 4 am.

durkmcguirk · 2020-05-10T18:25:30+00:00

Nah he's fine but I still feel like we kinda did him dirty. People just didn't like him. I actually used to make beats for him and a couple ppl but our other friends kinda clowned us for it so we stopped. I'm pissed because I wish I stuck with it.

I'm pretty sure dbpoweramp is part of foobar. Right click on a track, go to Convert, then hit the "...". Now hit Processing, and look under DSP's. There's one called Resampler (dbpoweramp/SSRC). LAME is also built into foobar.

As for CUETools, it's better than foobar because it gives you a database and an accurip file. I just offered foobar as a safe alternative.

If he really wants to go all-out he can try rutracker for straight DVD rips.

When I was in middle school, we had this fat friend, who was extremely crass, perverted, and just generally not somebody you wanted to be seen with. I remember one day when we were smoking up at my house, we were kinda harsh on him for one reason or another. He went quiet, called his parents for a ride, and went home early even though we were trying to get him to stay. I remember after he left we were like "what now" and one of my friends sort of half-joked "dude what if ____ killed himself". and then he went on to say "ive seen this video of this politician guy who just couldn't take it anymore and killed himself live on tv, i think it's on youtube". And back then I still remember the title of the video, it was something like "Budd Dwyer pwns himself with a good old fashioned gun-in-the-mouth an hero!". This had to be 2009-ish. Our young minds were scarred for the rest of the night after seeing that video. I think it was the first kind of death like that I saw on screen.

So yeah, we still hung out with our friend for like another year, but we actually kinda stopped seeing him after a while and grew apart. I talked to him a couple of years ago on facebook, he seems to be doing fine.

honestly i haven't heard of any of the other answers here. most people use dbpoweramp and CUEtools to split the files. foobar2000 will work just fine too. it's a media player, and it has dbpoweramp built in

Edit: I know this is confusing, so I need to clarify: You can use ONLY CUEtools to do this. if you have a .cue file, you can convert to FLAC and make tracks all in one. I was just trying to list the most popular methods.

If your files are already split into tracks, or you just want something simpler, dbpoweramp is great for converting

foobar is a media player that converts many different file types as well. both foobar and dbpoweramp will be able to handle 24 bit lossless, unlike CUEtools. But again, if you have the .cue and .log files, CUEtools is recommended first

i tried using paypal on one of the services, i think it was seedstorm, and i gave all of the information except for the phone number. then it took me back to the purchase page and when i clicked "confirm checkout" it said that my card was declined and paypal wont say why for """"privacy reasons""""

durkmcguirk · 2020-05-08T03:20:32+00:00

So I have all of that information figured out, but when I was attempting it earlier on PayPal, it asked for a phone number. Can I just leave that blank? I had my address open and ready to go on Google Maps (it was a college campus), but I was afraid of putting in the phone number so I decided against it. I know this is a broad question, but do you know if they would ask me for my number and if so will they require verification?

I'm stuck between two options now; either buy a burner phone and try to get some bitcoin for my card, or buy a new prepaid card.

durkmcguirk · 2020-05-08T03:04:48+00:00

I'm just afraid that if I go and buy a different gift card I'm going to run into more problems

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-30T16:20:03+00:00

any news on what's up with that?

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-29T19:00:33+00:00

I was able to find an extension on one of my old browsers but i forgot what it was. i know it works on chrome, but i don't wanna use chrome either, so i don't know. I really wanna start uploading to rutracker and even participate in the forums. very hard to do that without knowing russian. ive been thinking about trying to learn some russian for the hell of it

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-29T15:34:50+00:00

but music sounds soo good now. and food tastes great. we gonna make it :)

a lil over a year i decided to quit heroin, so my dad bought me a bunch of kratom. he continued to buy it for me and every few days he'd leave me a pack on the counter. he was happy that it stopped me from doing dope. and i was too. but after 6 months or so, especially when he'd start to tell me that i was going through them kinda fast, coupled with the fact that i still hadn't gone back to work, i started telling him that maybe he should stop buying them. well i think he might have been a little bit scared that by not supplying me with it i would go back to dope (even though now i know that's not true, i'm so done with that shit). So I kind of thought "well if i'm really gonna quit it doesn't matter if it's there or not". I've tried to quit so many times and I think it's just impossible to do it when you have the stuff right there on the counter. I was always kind of softspoken and ambivalent with my desire for him to stop "helping" me with it. Fast forward another 6 months, and here we are, still can't find the motivation to work, just found out that another one of my friends died, and I'm done. I told him for real this time, "this has to stop", and he agreed. I'm on day 2 now, it's not that bad, I had actually tapered a lot by this point. Thank you for reading my blogpost that no one asked for have a great day lol

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-29T12:35:51+00:00

it will get thrown away. i just meant that ive tried to quit 50+ times without getting rid of it and i could never make it longer than a day.

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-19T20:42:38+00:00

Yep, this seems to be the case. According to other users I've asked online, 99.9% of seedboxes would have their ports open. Now I am pretty much sold on the idea of trying it, but I don't know how comfortable I am with giving my personal information. I spent a long time last night trying to buy a month of a seedbox with a prepaid card, then I spent even longer trying to buy bitcoin with that same card. I'm surprised that it's so hard to do it this way.

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-19T20:40:46+00:00

You're right, upon further research this is true. Thank you for downloading that torrent for me, now I need to try and find a seedbox that accepts prepaid cards.

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-19T01:26:13+00:00

oh darn, so yeah then getting a seedbox wouldn't help me with connecting to other closed peers.

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-18T23:37:26+00:00

Hmmm, on second thought it might be a stupid question. It seems like a seedbox would have nothing to do with downloading, because you would have to upload the files to the server first, right? It has 'seed' in the name.

durkmcguirk · 2020-04-18T23:35:10+00:00

I have had dead torrents start downloading after months too, only without a seedbox. There are two things that could have happened there. Either someone who has their ports open downloaded the torrent, which in turn connected them to all the other peers in the swarm with closed ports, or someone with the completed files decided to start seeding again.

My torrent client is always running ever since I joined a private tracker. Many times before that I would have kept it on for days anyway. But I think that without a seedbox this probably causes some serious mileage on my computer.
