This is a great guide. Thanks for putting it together. I linked it on my intro thread as well for others to find!

Lot's of stuff, thanks

Thanks for the guide, very useful, one question though, I haven't done anything like this for years, just getting back into it, so I'm not a member of any site as yet, as such I have no ratio proof to show while applying for an invite, any way I can get around this? All help is appreciated, thanks.

I'm new to this, so don't yet have a seed ratio, should I go on public sites to build one? As I'm not yet a member of a private site to do so. Any help is appreciated.

@Sharpe32, you can check out our open trackers section here: Open Trackers
Private trackers, sometimes even higher level trackers, have open sign-ups from time to time (new posts are made almost every day), so why don't you start an account on a few of those, build a good buffer on them, and you're set to go.
Don't forget that you can always make a donation to our forum. You will get access to countless giveaways in the VIP section and of course you could very easily win as a donor, any invite you're looking for in both the normal and VIP sections.

Thank you @jimmy7 once I finish work I'll have a look at what you recommended, very greatful for your help.

Thank You for the Information.
