Just a question about user accounts
« on: August 13, 2013, 12:18:54 AM »
Hey guys. I was just wondering what the point is behind having accounts attached to your seeding rate? If there any benefit? I dont want to sound like an ass but I am actually very serious. BakaBT lets you download the torrents weather you a member or not. Same speeds and everything. There isnt any bonus content right, that im missing?

The "bonus" is getting to be part of an awesome community. Plus you get to use features like having a wishlist, or bookmarking torrents as well as receiving notification on torrents. You also can review everything you have or are currently getting and all the info that comes along with it i.e. How much you have downloaded and or uploaded.  Oh yeah you also get bonus points, And did I mention that whole entire awesome community thing?

It's surprising how much people are motivated to seed by a small number and a frowny face.

Plus, if there were no accounts and no awesome community, the number of seeders would definitely drop drastically.
Without the users, BakaBT would be nothing.ー( ̄~ ̄)ξ


I completely agree, I was only wondering if there was something other then that.

I think Gh0st already mentioned most of it. Uh-u- I..... was just trying to be supportive.(´・ω・`)
Besides, you have an account. Try contributing to the community and see how it makes you feel.

Edit: There's also the advanced browsing "bonus".

Because seeding is caring and public sites often have torrents that die faster than a likeable character in Game of Thrones.

Congrats, you are one of the very few people to notice this, it seems. The main perk of being a member is keeping track of your ratio. Unless you really like to see who else is seeding or leeching torrents and whatnot, there really isn't much else. The site is searchable using Google, and you can actively post on the forums without a tracker account (just leave it for 11 months and it'll quietly disappear).

So many people come asking about ratio in the help board. When I tell them they really don't need to seed back, they get all defensive and go all like "whoa man, I can't just take all this stuff and not seed back" and whatever. Seriously? Your seeding is not going to help things around here, especially if you've only done a ratio low enough to get you warned. Just leech off the public tracker and give members someone to seed to.

Seeing that frowny face smiling is the light of my day!

way too much text
I wonder what people who aren't here, but active at other trackers, think of BBT. If nobody knows it's a public tracker, it would explain their behaviour.

It was amazing!

How I wish I could go again, too bad you can only afford doing it once per user.
