This is personal experience and may not be shared by all.
Unfortunately, this site has a poor management. They are rude to users and inept. They will know who is writing this.
One certain member of admin wouldn't know what a dupe was if it hit him in the face. Another will always try and move the goal posts when they are wrong. Another will gladly insult you and then can't take it if you give it back.
Suggestions are not always welcome. One admin member said that the staff were fed up of suggestions regarding
freeleech despite the suggestions coming from long term and experienced members. The suggestions were being made with the best interests of the site in mind. However, Zia, the site's creator, (that answers the poll above!), didn't seem to want to shift and apparently has nothing to do with users. The rules regarding
freeleech are the weirdest I have ever seen. I think a picture explains it.
Ex members of staff have said to me that they are glad to be out of it. At one point they had uploading teams. That didn't last.
Another member of the site said that one of the staff was gunning for him and making everything difficult. If you are not one of the faces that fit, give up.
I ended up inviting a number of members to better sites so that they could get their torrents there. It wouldn't have made a dent in the user numbers by any means.
Possibly, one of the staff may reply to this and try to spin. Carry on. Every time, you were outdone using your own rules against you. The staff can not accept being wrong and will not change their minds as that would mean losing face.
They will refuse to disable your account. I wanted my account disabled. I got my own way. Basically, I made them disable it. I got my wish.
In terms of community, this is lacking. More like a 2/10 unless you are one the faces, then a much more pleasant experience. If you do join, you will meet some legends there. You will meet some staff that think they are beyond the Gods. But don't worry, they are easily put in place. They just don't like it
