One of my favorite trackers is migrating to membership only and it will cost $10 per month.

Might as well clear the air before the real bullshit starts.

Both Bitsoup and ILT were free to use for everyone for over 10 years.

Way to many people used the site and did not return much at all.

Yes that includes seeding content back.

Bitsoup was one of the oldest sites around and bough the whole credit system that many sites still use today.

They tried everything to get more support.

Some people though it was a small site.

This is not true.

They were clear in the forums for ages that if things did not get better on its own something would have to be done.

To many times did that have to be said and yet no one really cared.

The members who time and time again donated where getting just as pissed off as even with the money the spent to support the site way to few people did the same.

There was a comment made that far to few were covering for far to many.

So 12 years they were free and people used.

They brought lights out and it made not change just people complain they can not access.

When they were broke people did not care

Now that they decided to go a route to allow people who want to be there have a place to go you say they are shit?

Yet you used the site free for so many years.

True p2p is about sharing in all area's not just content.

Far to few shared the costs of such a big site that over the years was one of the most stable sites there.

Never really had issues. Never down for long. Never down for people who got isp banned.

But everyone used it until nothing was left.

If you remove the membership fee from the new site it is 100% better then what bitsoup was why such a change?

People can now work on rebuilding the site and not have to worry about the bills..

The new site can not be called a scam or a con or any other bullshit term. Only people who want to be there are there.

Therefore how the fuck can it be a scam or con..

End of Rant.
