Just a quick shout to all you tracker invite fans looking for a fresh start at a new home. RatioProof.us (aka FLUX/FeelTheFlow) is the latest tracker discussion & invites forum to pop up on the ‘net. Invites to FLUX were originally intended to be only available through an application process via email, FLUX has recently opened up registration for anyone looking to sign up.
No, this article isn’t about a P2L tracker. Those of you who’ve been around the private tracker scene long enough probably remember the original StN (sharing-the.net), a tracker discussion forum that went underground nearly a year ago. Comparable to other secretive (some will say "elite") BT communities that you may or may not have heard about (CFS, Panda, I-C/Indigo), StN - though small - is very much alive and rife with activity, and now accepting applications.
In foresight it’s not always easy to gauge whether or not a new BitTorrent discussion (& invite) community will do well, considering the fierce competition from already well-established forums. Thus when a new torrent forum launches, they’re going to need to come up with three key criteria in order to be successful: active members, unique features and experienced staff. Fortunately for BTRealm.net, they possess all three. And unlike other recent startups, BTRealm is directly open for anyone who wants to register - that’s right; no IRC recruitment, no application form, no mandatory introduction post, no profile links or silly speedtests. Registration is scheduled to be open until the end of January.
Etiv.in is one of those torrent invite forums that essentially remains mostly a closed-system. Rarely does Etiv have registration open directly (just twice in their site history; both times were related to FSF articles). Nor do they have a perpetually-open IRC #invite channel for aspiring members to apply - the last time this occurred was back in October for just two short days. From now until January 1st, Etiv has opened a special #christmas-interview channel - now’s your chance to get into one of the ‘nets premier torrent forums.
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.
Here at FSF, we’re always on the lookout for the newest tracker invite sites. Whether it be duds like TakeMe, CGI-U or SceneInvites - or studs such as TPS, Etiv and TR; we aim to report about them all unbiasedly - and let our readers decide. Let us introduce the latest torrent forum to launch - inviteTheScene.
After receiving countless requests for an updated version of our Top 50 Most Requested Private Tracker Invites article, we’ve finally gotten around to crunching the numbers once again. In comparison to last December’s statistics, the results are astonishingly quite different this time around. There are dozens of new popular trackers, defunct trackers, IRC applications, new torrent forums & more experienced private torrenters than ever before; collectively, all of these factors (and more) account for the difference in request popularity. Just like last year, it should be no surprise as to who holds the No.1 spot.
It’s been quite some time since we’ve introduced a new Torrent Forum to the BT scene. Is this because new ones aren’t being started up? Not exactly - there are a few new underground forums that we’re not just not able to mention here at FSF. But not so with TTinvite.com - a new BitTorrent discussion & invites board that’s currently open for registration. And we’re even allowed to review it!
TrackerChecker.org, a top-notch website that tirelessly updates private torrent trackers that are open for registration, could be slated for closure. Launched back in April 2008, it would now appear that the site could disappear soon. Tracker signups haven’t been updated for nearly three days - usually this is every 6 minutes or less - which suggests that this great service is coming to an end - only time will tell.
Update: TrackerChecker is now offline.
Call this our unofficial tracker invites weekend. BittClub.org isn’t exactly a new P2P forum, but has only recently begun to hit their stride. Beginning in late April, little-known BittClub offers the usual fare: tracker invites, discussion and everything else that has to do with the torrent community. We’re bending one of their rules here - "BittClub" isn’t supposed to be mentioned publicly, as they prefer only to be referred to as BTC.
