We don't do much recruitment anymore, just a few sites, and most of those sites seem pretty closed off.

We shouldn't be impossible to get in to so now we leave it a bit up to you guys to get us to 35k users. I've had some people ask about that number and why we're so closed off. We may allow this to be a soft limit.

We can handle more than 35k as we sit right now.

ANNOUNCEMENT'S TRANSLATION:
We understood that our stupid policy will get us nowhere. We are here in order to make some money (even if we pretend we love sharing) and while our invites/registrations were closed, our donations were lower than ever.
Unfortunately what we had in mind (that users are idiots), was a mistake. Users are not idiots to donate over and over again to our shitty tracker since they can find pretty much the same torrents elsewhere.
So we decided to sell our own invites for cheap (like IPT which we were blaming in the past for selling its own invites), hoping we will collect some bucks from the current users and hopefully some more bucks from the new users who will join BTN soon.
And since we just accept BTC for the donations, we can still ban easily all those new Donors without any fear or any second thought!!!

MY COMMENT:
I am so sad because my "good friend" (just kidding) Betrayed is not a BTN staff any more. He could ban so many users and he would be so happy (since this was the joy of his life)
