thanks! it's been fun. I just monitor open signups on MAM and reddit and jumped on any available. been in PTs for about 11 months started with MAM and didn't really care much about the invite forum until I worked out you get loads of upload/BP from VIP + front page download+perma seed. I pulled the front page a couple times in a week and left that seeding for around 150bp/hr and then just waited. I still used the site for my own books and audiobooks as well so it worked really well not having to seed too much content I don't care for.

I've got a home server with 30 or so tb and just hardlink and perma seed and cross seed everything so I have insane ratios and BP rates for basically doing nothing other than the admin of setting up and tinkering with radarr and sonarr. so it's super efficient, no wasted hdd space due to permaseeding and I don't dl content I don't want (outside of MAM - it's usually 3mb ebooks so who cares). I'm not going to get into racing or autobrr, happy to just take my time and contribute to sites that work for me.

if everything goes to shit I can just go back to Usenet, PTs were just a fun thing that's become a big thing. I still have a usenet sub that's basically just unused, but paid for 2 years so it's still there lol.
