Sigh...... I really don't like being insulted. I really don't like being insulted by a liar either. I'll explain below why your comments are wrong, uncalled for, rude to GGn and how your a shitty contribution to this community.
Lines starting with A are your words and sentences.
Lines starting with B are my comments and evidence.
1A) "I've had GGN for years. It used to be my favorite, but now I almost never use it because it's a pain in the ass to get ratio. Back when new torrents had a freeleech period you could grab new stuff and know it'd actually contribute to your ratio, now it's a crap shoot.
1B) Well of course it would, when all you are downloading is FreeLeech. So because you can't comprehend the simple concept of popularity, that does not make GGN a crapshoot. Don't reply saying you can comprehend, because you admitted to not knowing in your comments. I will paste that comment below.
2A) "I used to have an easy time keeping ratio because, as I said, new torrents had a freeleech period. It was pretty simple to just grab whatever was coming in and seed it. Now it's not."
2B) Well sure, ANYONE would have an easy time generating ratio if all they were downloading was freeleech. That's what you've just told us in that statement. Also, this can still be acheived by simply running autodlirssi. I think that anyone will agree if asked, but expecting all new torrents to be freeleech just so you don't have to think for a minute is ridiculous. This is not an excuse or reason as to why ratio is difficult.
3A) "The games I want to play often aren't in high demand, so getting ratio back from the games themselves is next to impossible."
3B) This is the reason why GGN has MANY ways for a user to generate lots of buffer. You can't expect to ONLY download the exact few games your going to play and be able to maintain a ratio this way. This comes back to your whole freeleech attitude and how you've seemly only earned ratio in the past. Its widly understood that you need to be able to download and seed popular releases to be able to gain ratio. You've also done nothing to take advantage of any of the systems GGN has in place to help users with their ratio. To anyone reading, I will disclose at the end how I know this. That part of it is the real meat and potatoes.
4A) "If I were to clear all the shit out of my storage drives, I'd have about 1.5TB. I stop seeding only when I run out of space and I prioritize trackers that I need ratio on. Aside from dropping large files during the occasional purge, I pretty much just leave things seeding forever. That's not enough to maintain a ratio on that site apparently, so I'm hovering just above ratio watch and never downloading anything more than a few MB."
4B) Ok, so now you've lost ALL credability due to this statement. Its a complete lie and will be proven below.
5A) "Meanwhile, everything's just fine with all my other trackers. Either they've got systems that rely on things like seed time rather than ratio or they actually offer ways to gain ratio that are reasonable. A 500MB file that nobody's going to download is not a reasonable way to maintain ratio on a site focused on downloading multi-GB AAA games."
5B) I find it extremely unlikely your stats are much better anywhere else, but currently can't comment on that since I have not seen them. Your lying her yet again considering your stats show you have used items to decrease your download amount (to raise your ratio). To anyone else reading this, GGN rewards users on so many things its incredible. I'll name a few,,,,, seeding time, seeding size, seeding to snatched total percentage, how much you talk on irc, how much you talk on the forum, you get random gold drops just from using the site, potions, etc. As I said, this site is loaded with ways to build buffer or better your ratio.
6A) "IPT, meanwhile, while a total shit show as far as the community is concerned, maintains a decent miscellaneous tracker. I can grab shit without worrying about getting viruses or DMCAs like a public tracker, and yet I don't have to go through a literal song and dance to reactivate my account on a site with an inferior library like BaconBits just because I don't actually use the thing (see inferior library).".
6B)My take from this is, you can just download freeleech items and barely contribute to the community like you've done on GGN. You've also admitted to us about another tracker disabling your account. Probably because your contribution and stats to the community were terrible like they are on GGN. Well I'm not on BaconBits, but maybe there library is smaller because they don't scam people for money, or because they have I think around 10k users, whereas IPT has let anyone who can pay resulting in I think a userbase of over 100,000!!!! Oh btw, many users of IPT have gotten DCMA's so good lucky with that. Guess why? Because it basically is a public tracker! Also, I would worry about viruses on IPT, their sysop literally is a human virus. He stills credentials of users and tries them on other trackers!
Now for the juicy stuff....... Don't post on reddit talking bad about a tracker when you used the same username!!!
In the 5 years you have been with GGN, you've only uploaded a total 342.60GB and have a ratio of 0.62. Your only seeding 1 torrent and your average seed time is 1 month (I thought you never delete stuff?) I don't want to type your whole profile page out but man your stats are terrible!
