[operaru]

How can i help you ? I`ll try as i can

[zombux]

tell us what did you hate on the old tracker, so we can improve it

[operaru]

what did I hate ?
Short life of the torrent 
Everything was good, imho.

[King of Spades]

Would be cool if it was more mac friendly for the mac users

[zombux]

there's no restriction I know about Macs. so far, all torrent clients are allowed. we're gonna filter them later, but we will discuss it with you guys.

[RickRoses]

is there gonna be a limit on how many users can join

[cotis917]

the limit of users is yet unknown. maybe we will just set unlimited users, maybe we keep the limit somewhere under 3000 just like before. the problem is, that even if we allow 10000 users to come and join, they will have a hard time to keep reasonable ratio. most stuff is already uploaded (or will be reuploaded very quickly), and they will have a little chance to improve.

the tracker will have the same URL as before - the old tracker will stay for some days, so we can check and transfer everything useful, and also the shoutbox is working. later, the tracker will be replaced with the new one, but will be inaccessible for some time, until we setup everything correctly. anyway - if somebody checks tracker.gunsnroses.us, he will either see the old tracker with information that it's going to be shutdown, or the new one in maintenance mode and information about its eventual start, or the new tracker already running.

...you could just look back in the post you know?

[zombux]

ok so far we have successfully tested some useful functions. the tracker still needs a few tweaks to reach appropriate standard of user comfort.

we have 3 themes - one light blue, one normal blue, and one orange/dark brown

we'd like to implement "free leech" feature which is a paid mod, but we're currently out of money so we can't afford it. so any donations are greatly appreciated!

[tonney]

How can we make donations?

[cotis917]

send them to me, I'll take care of it

there used to be a donate button, I'm sure if you PM zombux he'll let you know!

[zombux]

all donations are made through Sean / BP. he's the owner. so PM him, not me please

[zombux]

the tracker will have much more strict rules, to keep it clean and prevent mess. regular members can't upload torrents, they need to become Uploaders (or VIP, Moderator etc. of course)
we also hope to include Golden Torrent / Freeleech feature, which would greatly help all newbies. this feature is paid though, so we're still looking for funds to buy it. access to paid modifications costs 20 euros, which includes about 2-3 modifications for download. thanks for any donations again.
oh, and the last piece of information: the tracker MIGHT be running sometimes... soon... during the next week

[Sean]

Donations are also needed for the server costs and services each month. We are in much need, so it all helps.  The donate button is at the tracker.  or in this chinesedemocracy.com forum you can do a subscription through your profile, then PM telling me its for the tracker as well.  payments through paypal.

thanks, BP aka Sean

[Tarja Roseeviini]

it might be stupid question but there's no chance to find a free host? I'd donate too but I don't fucking have a credit card
