I once joked about a new bullshit music genre proposal in a RYM thread. On the very same day someone started shitposting it all over /mu/. The next day a lurking Factmag intern caught it and wrote a piece about new Bullshit Music Genre. Now it's an official tag.

The bigger bullshit you spam, the more virulent it will be.

No way. Don't even bother messaging the recruiter. Your taste is shitty entry-level electronic /mu/core. None of them are dnb even except for Goldie but they are the band everybody who has ever heard of dnb knows about.
Fuck off.

>>60555900
Sorry, idiot, I guess I can't recall all the hundreds of 3-track one-record ever DnB artists nobody listened to twice.

>>60555900
>they are the band everybody knows about.
Shucks, you should try Pendulum then.

DnB is for five year olds.

>>60555925
Hey, don't call me an idiot because you can barely listen to the most entry level artists of the whole "electronic" genre and then get upset when I tell you that DB9 would never ever accept a guy with such a taste.
>I can't recall all the hundreds of 3-track one-record ever DnB artists nobody listened to twice
Nigger, you only mentioned ONE dnb artist out of seven when asked about your favorite dnb artists. You must be legit retarded.

>>60555950
Yeah, if you are a normie it's pendulum, but it's obvious he comes from /mu/, so Goldie is the popular choice.

>>60555973
t. Idiot

>>60555973
isn't the whole point of a tracker to show people new things, instead of expect them to already know everything?
If they already have extensive taste in DnB, why would they want acceptance into a place that shows nothing new?

>>60555618
>If you think Redacted is for the average user then you are an idiot. Anyone who is actually interested in music is uploading their own stuff and snatching from others. No need to worry about ratio if you are constantly contributing to the site.
Any retard can get in through an interview. The community is "average" compared to Pedro's

You are the literal retard here, not me.

>>60556013
>isn't the whole point of a tracker to show people new things, instead of expect them to already know everything?
No.
Besides, if you don't have extensive taste in DnB, you don't need DB9, and you might as well use a general music tracker. This guy clearly wouldn't use DB9 for anything for which he couln't use for RED as well.

>>60556027
Do you lack reading comprehension of something? Getting in is easy as fuck. The fact that some people fail the interview makes me seriously question how stupid the average internet user is. My point was related to downloading over there being easy if you have some actual taste in music, meaning you don't have to worry about ratio.
Also, Pedro's is absolute shit. Pure dad-rock garbage.

>>60556038
What's wrong with identifying with people of a similar interest?

>>60555212
Autodl works on any tracker that is not RED.

>>60556066

>>60556089

No thanks. /ptg/ is already too much cancer for me to take on a single day.

>>60556066
>if you don't have extensive taste in DnB, you don't need DB9
If you're actually passionate about DnB, wouldn't you want to spread that joy to others? Why would you let the genre die out with no new listeners?

>>60556121
Because I can't be unique if other people listen to the same music as me

>>60556066
If someone just joined Redacted today it would be quite difficult to get started. Yeah, maybe they could upload dozens of rare torrents that aren't already on the tracker, but they're gonna be sitting at 1 seed each until the next FL token giveaway comes during Christmas 2017.

Granted, WCD freeleech picks were a bandaid fix, but at least they provided a vehicle for newbies to generate some buffer.

>>60556074
These people don't have the same interest.
For example, you may be interested in music, but unless you're an extremely niche tracker, there are deviations.
Not only that, there are different types of user interactions. Some are fervent uploaders, while others don't exist.
In the end, majority of communities are bad for that reason: in the 'in' group of a tracker, there are more 'in' groups of autism.

I'm so glad I'm part of the Private Tracker Royalty (3 digit ID on RED, invited from HDBits), we got a few freeleech events to get us started on RED. I feel sorry for those who have to start from scratch

>>60556164
That's a whole lot of words to say nothing

>>60556137
Then you're using the music as a platform for identification, which is a very faulty way of living. Why would you want to identify yourself based on what you've consumed? Sounds like a way to lock yourself in

>>60556193
Thanks! I put a lot of effort into it. :)

>>60556186
I was TM on WCD and got in a day after the Global FL ended. I've uploaded a LOT of shit, and have made extensive use of a seedbox, and I only have a small 80GB buffer. New users are fucked.

>>60556221
I wasn't on WCD, haven't uploaded anything on RED and have a ~2TB buffer. RED is truly an aristocracy

>>60556201

>>60556253
yeah man, pretty sure if I had one day with the global FL I would've gotten TBs as well... just autodl every new torrent, lol

>>60556121
Because there is a reason DB9 is more exclusive and has all these exclusive releases, for security reasons, as people in the past have gotten into troubles from it. There is a Redacted thread about it written by DB9 members if you don't believe me.

>Why would you let the genre die out with no new listeners?
This is how I know you have no idea how the DnB genre works. Not everything is recorded music, you know? Also, a few hundreds of people listening to more or less DnB won't change a single thing.

>>60556143
>they're gonna be sitting at 1 seed each
If you are a retard you are correct. If you are not a retard, you post in the unsnatched thread.

>until the next FL token giveaway comes during Christmas 2017.
Let's hope that never happens.

>Granted, WCD freeleech picks were a bandaid fix, but at least they provided a vehicle for newbies to generate some buffer.
And they should have never been. Nothing worse than making people download all the stuff they want without contributing at the same time.

I had to donate to get buffer but once I did I had access to a bunch of FL and shit and have about 80 GB upload now, which is decent for an electronic tracker full of singles.

>>60556164
So the point you made here >>60556038 where you're laughing at identifying with tracker communities you explain by those communities having deviations and I guess what you're trying to say is that's bad because the community you wanted has a more 'in' version of itself. What you're actually saying is you're a spastic and really shouldn't be trying to explain anything on the internet.

>>60556315
See, the whole "no handouts, earn everything yourself" attitude makes sense in a vacuum, but you're completely forgetting that the first X users had a whole fucking week of global freeleech and created terabytes of buffer for nothing. Terabytes of buffer on a music tracker cannot reasonably be spent in an average human lifespan, and these users are quite literally set for life.

They already had an advantage by virtue of being the first uploaders, they didn't need an unnecessary period of global freeleech.

I remember when the freeleech ended, 3 out of the 10 top uploaders by data had <5 torrents uploaded. You can't say new users don't deserve a helping hand when the first users of the tracker got the biggest handout in private tracker history.

>>60556437
How are you proposing to change what you're complaining about? They had a first mover advantage. What did you expect?

>>60556414
>fuck you
Why anon :(((

>>60556425
Just use the search function as I don't want to get /marked/, at least not today.

>>60556437
Yeah, those users with terabytes of data suck, but well, what can you do about it? It was inevitable. Not having the freeleech event wouldn't get the tracker going, and having a global freeleech for everybody registered now would make almost every request and uploading meaningless unless you do it by pure good will.

>You can't say new users don't deserve a helping hand when the first users of the tracker got the biggest handout in private tracker history.
I definitely can, and I will. New users don't deserve a helping hand other than the initial buffer. Neither did the old users deserve the global FL, but it was a necessary sacrifice.

>>60556414
you're a nice guy anon. Hope you get into all the trackers you desire

>>60556470
Thank you, but I don't need any other trackers save for maybe FunSharing. I wonder what their current torrent count is now and if they are still active users. I care mostly about their community.

>>60556459
Sorry anon, I didn't really mean it.

>>60556451
>How are you proposing to change what you're complaining about? They had a first mover advantage. What did you expect?

Well, you can't fix it now, it's too late. They should've had neutral leech that week instead. The FL token giveaway once the userbase was larger seemed a decent way to jump start the economy without completely wrecking it like the global freeleech did.

We're pretty much exactly where the WCD economy was. People aren't downloading because they are anticipating another FL event. On WCD, 99% of the downloading took place during FL picks and holiday events.

What happened to the pimp poster

>>60556485
Funsharing (FSC) is dead in the water. Three new uploads a day, no one talks in the IRC. It's a relic. The sysop paid for ten years worth of hosting in 2010 and that's the only reason it's still up.
No one talks about it any more just like iTS.

"We haven't any buffer!," cried the peasants.

"Then let them fill requests," replied the queen.

>>60556497
>They should've had neutral leech that week instead.
It wouldn't have worked. You needed to quickly "inject" buffer into the tracker some way and neutral leech wouldn't help. The Tokens were a nice touch, I agree.

>We're pretty much exactly where the WCD economy was.
WCD's economy wasn't even hard enough. You could get a shitload of buffer only from staff picks, and you don't want users to do that.

>People aren't downloading because they are anticipating another FL event.
People (actually the majority of users who don't contribute) don't download because they have no buffer because they don't contribute. It's not rocket science.

>On WCD, 99% of the downloading took place during FL picks and holiday events.
Downloadings by the average user who mostly did never upload anything, so we are not talking about anything that matters much here really.

>>60556519

Why?

Reported for doxing. Enjoy your b&

>>60556596
FunSharing was good at some point though, right?
You don't get the point of Pedro if you think it doesn't matter because the same stuff you can find it at Red. The deal with P and E is that they are rips made by the actual users, so you can be sure you are actually downloading the advertised edition of a recording. On Red and Apollo you can never be sure. In fact, I have already seen plenty of fake editions at Red, Apollo AND Rutracker. On Red I haven't bothered to report it yet, and on Rutracker there is no way to report it, and the only reason I know they are fake is because they have vastly different track lenghts, or even whole songs missing, meaning there MUST be a lot of issues that are impossible to verify just from the metadata (for example, if they have the same track list and track lenghts but different mastering).

>>60556644
>Sorry, in like late 2016

>>60556652
Because otherwise there is really no way for people to download stuff, not even if you upload your own.

if not then the whole site would be strictly, exactly 1:1, meaning 100% there will be individuals that never reach a 1.0 ratio

Just like it's for everyone new joining the tracker?

>>60556652
because otherwise, one by one, all those 0/1/0s will become 0/0/0s as the bufferless realize the futility of it, and you'll be left with a small crowd with tbs of buffer and nothing to spend it on

>>60556710
No, because there is already buffer from other people into the tracker who will download your stuff if it hasn't been snatched after a while.

Now, you COULD indeed make a tracker without any freeleech ever, and it could work, but it would only be used by people who own super rare and expensive records. It already happens at other places I won't mention, just not with ratios and instead simply trading. In this case, you would have a currency so there is no need to trade. Pretty interesting concept, really. To get it going you would need to post an entire collection of rare recordings though.

Unless you are specifically looking for pbthal's rips (1000+ on Pedros vs 590 on RED), or mandatory scanned artwork (some poor autist was forced to scan the 124 page book that came with the Beatles 1+ Deluxe release)

>>60556710
no, now that buffer has already been generated onto the site(from GFL, FL tokens, FL picks), people who have that buffer can download to pass it on. depending on how much buffer was generated altogether from the FL this is the amount that can be transferred in excess and still theoretically maintain a 1.0 ratio across all users given the buffer distribution is balanced(which is not now because people are hoarding the buffer)

>>60556799
Pedro's also has the largest collection of SACDs (more than RuTracker).

>>60556687
>Because otherwise there is really no way for people to download stuff, not even if you upload your own.
Everyone can download up to 20GB of stuff before any kind of ratio requirements kick in (assumed they keep things seeded), plus they have an initial 5GB of buffer.

>>60556687
Actually I don't think FSC was ever good. People joined because their elite friends simply offered them a chance. There wasn't a reason to say no. Everyone knows the scene sucks and P2P groups released their content first on other trackers.
I let my FSC account die when I deleted it from Lastpass. I think I shared one porno from there to Fux0r once.

You talk about 'fake editions' because you know they have differing track lengths. Tell us how you know.

Correct, but it's still an almost zero sum game. Granted, you could still do it, but it just wouldn't be as efficient unless you want to try the innovative system above.

>>60556834
I heard people only invited exceptional people to FSC, but I guess that's not really correct anymore. Too bad, it would have been fun to have an exclusive community for people who know their stuff. TheVault comes close to this ideal at least.

>Tell us how you know.
Discogs. Or even pictures provided by the own uploader that say the track lenghts are different from the rip.
This is also the reason why notwhat.cd implemented golden flacs, to avoid this very common issue. But the average person is stupid so they dismissed the idea when in reality it was never meant to be made for them.

An exclusive community for fucking what. FSC offered literally nothing special. There was nothing fun or interesting about the place.

Discogs?? HAHAHAHA. You know they only state the track lengths from the back of the CD case or from the booklet. Those are so inaccurate.

Dude, I know that, I have used Discogs my whole life. It's useful as a reference, but see my next replies below.

>You're believing editions on Red are fake because the log track times don't match Discogs XD
I already said there are even editions being uploaded with different track listings. And this isn't even for original issues. There would be japan issues being uploaded as UK issues as well when both have vastly different masterings.

>Yeah, I'm sure the record label cared to print how long the song was to the precise second or half-second.
I'm talking about 30 seconds to a minute of difference, and then you see that on another edition the track lengths match to the second. Meaning the uploader uploaded a fake edition.

Fuck off with your ignorant post.

>>60557035

Okay, so be responsible. If you see a problem like that please edit the edition, report it for metadata problems or use the editing board.
No good complaining about it here.
The breadth of content Red offers over Pedro's is way more attractive then a rare incorrect edition. Most people research what they download and are happy to come across something, organise it better for the next person and move onto the next. Do your part please.

>>60557101
The problem is unless there is an obvious mistake such as the ones I mentioned, you still can't be sure if you truly got the edition that was advertised. It has happened so many times with cases that I could tell for a fact they were fake that I don't want to bother hoping for the ones I have no way to verify are actually the real editions.

>The breadth of content Red offers over Pedro's is way more attractive then a rare incorrect edition.
Depends on what you are looking for. If a release was only issued once then you surely can't be wrong by downloading the Redacted torrent, but if it's not the case, you are doomed, and that's when those trackers come in. Still, this is of no use to casual music listeners, and even listeners with a lot of musical exposure, but it's still bothersome to some.

With your own evidence you can prove at any time that you are certain something is the right edition and the offending 'fake' can be moved to unknown.

>>60557321
Like I said, there are cases in which you will download a fake edition without you knowing because there is no way to tell it's fake unless you can listen to the physical release yourself and compare both. Those releases are impossible to moderate unless you operate on a "fake until proven correct" system. Again, this is why P and E are needed from time to time (and NW's Gold, but they don't have many releases and most are CDs so it sucks).

Regardless of buffer status, good or bad, it will never change the fact that RED has the lowest data transfer of any private tracker, and will need a miracle to recover its economy.
If I were an administrator on RED, I wouldn't feel right seeing my site in the condition it is in, but it seems it is some sort of accomplishment to have your tracker turn completely upside down, completely contradicting the purpose of its existence, as if it's a goal (which has been achieved).

No? The site is working perfectly fine. Literally everyone who is capable of proving new content can download content without worrying about ratio. The fact that cancerous leeches who don't contribute anything are not able to download stuff doesn't mean their economy is broken, it was never designed for them on the first place.

No need for it. Just let people upload whenever they need it. Want to download something? Then upload first. No rush, take yourself a year if you want to, just be aware that you won't be able to download more than a certain amount unless you start uploading your own stuff.

Since WCD has been down I don't really give a shit anymore. I just grab all the stuff I want from rutracker now and only if there is no decent FLAC version available will I turn to RED as a backup. rutracker might not have the 1971 First Press Limited Gold Edition but whatever.

In the case of RED I don't even seed anything I did not upload myself anymore because the storage space on my server is essentially wasted, since barely anyone is going to snatch anything anyway.

Out of over a hundred of my uploads that have been online for months, only the epubs and ~10 albums were snatched. Most of my uploads aren't super obscure either. I am also not going to go around begging in the forums. If people don't like what I offer that's completely fine, but I think a huge part can't really afford it anyway and thus people have to be super selective.

Which brings me to my next point. A good 90%+ of my 1XX GB upload (this measly number already puts me in the top 10% global upload btw) on RED was because of staff picks or other freeleech, despite having over a hundred FLAC uploads. That means I could very well have uploaded nothing and roughly be at the same place I am right now.

WCD truly was a godsend.

>>60558049
>>Also, you would be surprised at uploading obscure stuff getting downloaded. There are people already setting up auto-dl for 100% logs not just from 2017.
One of my most obscure albums has the highest snatch count out of all my albums right now. I guess it was mentioned somewhere in the forums.

We've actually reached a point where private trackers aren't about downloading things anymore. What a time to be alive!

>>60558263
Private Trackers are a RPG. Honestly, ptg belongs in /vg/ more than /g/

Remember when trackers were places with people of similar interests to download stuff about those interests? When if you couldn't upload that was okay as long as you seeded well? Fuck this cancerous shit trackers like RED are peddling.

I have over a hundred uploaded perfect flacs at RED (CD and Vinyl, no WEB bullshit), have over 100 GB uploaded just like you, and I only participated in one freeleech from which I only got 5 GB of upload. I don't upload popular stuff either.
I said it once and I say it again, if you complain about buffer then you are either lazy, or a retard, or both.

>That means I could very well have uploaded nothing and roughly be at the same place I am right now.
In other words, a parasite.

>One of my most obscure albums has the highest snatch count out of all my albums right now.
Is from 2017? Because that would explain it. If not, then odds are it's not actually obscure.

>>60558305
If you are really into music you shouldn't even run out of stuff to upload. I already have a backlog of hundreds of torrents to upload that I can't be bothered to upload yet.

Literally nothing wrong with that. That 95% never contributed anything so they don't deserve it.

>RED will fail if they don't change their ways.
No. People who never uploaded anything will go, but the rest of the users who actually contribute to the site will stay and get the most content.
