We can’t give out much information about DKF (aka - The DarK Factory) aside from they’re a new tracker invites & discussion forum. Online for just over a month now, DKF has plenty of activity (threads: 374, posts: 4,179) - all from just 60 experienced members. Don’t expect DKF to open up for public registration anytime soon - either you’ll need to be invited directly, or else apply through their IRC channel.

DKF Application

DKF is only recruiting new members through a short IRC interview.

Server: irc.station51.net
Channel: #Interview (hotlink here)

1.) To apply for an invite, read the topic. Currently it says, “State your favorite BitTorrent client and wait to be interviewed” - this will signal that you’re looking for an invite.

2.) You’ll be asked some questions about your BitTorrent knowledge & history, so come prepared. While unofficial, questions that might be asked in the interview may include:

• • What do you know about DKF?
• • What do you want from DKF?
• • What can you provide DKF with? (e.g. GFX, coding, reviews, etc.)
• • Will you be active on DKF (IRC, forums, etc)?
• • Are you a staff member at an invite forum or tracker? If so, where?
• • Are you at other invite forums? If so, provide profile links.
• • Have you ever been banned from a forum?
• • How experienced are you with torrents?
• • Give us profile links to at least 3 trackers that are your favorites. Tell us why they’re your favorite.

DKF - The Last Word…

It’s great to see torrent boards that screen potential members before allowing them to register, as opposed to allowing anyone in and then forcing them to make certain “post quotas” which just leads to increased spam throughout the forum - in turn, deteriorating the experience for everyone. “IRC interviews” are not much fun for those on duty, contrary to popular belief - but are becoming necessary to weed out those who will eventually become banned regardless.

If you’re accepted through the IRC interview (and become a member of DKF), then there’s not much else that’s necessary to “prove”. Thus, all forums are pretty much accessible to anyone who’s a member - with the exception of “requests” which requires a post-count of 25 - quite easy to meet.

We don’t want to be the bearer of bad news; but nowadays if any torrent forum is directly open to registration, it only invites (pardon the pun) a certain subset of private torrenters who ruin it for everyone else. Scammers, cheaters, traders - they jump from one to the next. Indeed, DKF is a forum worth joining - and staying with.

   Unless they learn to respect tracker rules over at DKF, they will have a hard life and their members will have a hard life too.

   Nothing will screw your torrenting life as not respecting tracker rules.

56. Dexter Says:

    And they are closed again. DjExtacy if you keep changing domains like this no one will donate to your site.

57. Down Says:

    Well now the site is down , god knows why they keep changing domains……

    And djExtacy acts as if he is god , although he dosent know shit….. really p00r forum…………

58. Morgan Says:

    I followed them since STi. I thought it’s a good forum with decent staff. But from what I’ve seen this all looks like scam. They say that they need donations but then they just close the site and start a new one.
    You should beware djExtacy (aka iPeter and god knows what other usernames he uses). His forums are a total waste of time. He acts like a friend but he’s not

    Scammers! Don’t donate to any of his forums

59. Morgan Says:

    iPeter you asked to keep it quite about your forums. But here’s this you deserve it.
    First there was STi (Invitethescene), then they invited donors to there new forum Dark Factory, then they created a new forum Dark Factory v.2
    Now it’s down and I think I know why. They just created a new forum.
    Their staff members are: DjExtacy (iPeter), Rat, and a few other people who I know from other forums so I don’t think they’re bad.
    They are planning to create a new lossless music tracker (gazelle).

    Guys if you were invited to their new froum or their tracker don’t donate! They are scammers. And their forums are a total waste of time. They’ll move to another forum again, be sure about that

60. ffrgvfrgtfbg Says:

    Well, not scammers but certainly not trustworthy

61. RedJack117 Says:

    ok you cunts first of DJE isnt iPeter I dont know where you heard that from but stop spreading sht because you dont know at all what you are talking about. We are making a lossless music tracker that is pretty much the only thing true in your post. we are not scammers dont know what would made you think we are. @ FFRGVFRGTFBG we are trustworthy and if you dont belive me come to the site :). Have a good day :p

62. ffrgvfrgtfbg Says:

    Ok, sorry man

63. wtf Says:
