I'm not knocking the site as I said, "Great site, great speeds, great selection" , I should have also stated Great community; what more can I say than GREAT. I'm sorry, as for the dreaded "P" word, yes, it all depends what the conversation was and the context of usage, there are a number of rather much more Vulgar terms that could have been used, but I kept it at a childs level not to distress anyone (so I thought). I guess as long as it a picture of a pile of (the "P" word) with a smiley face on that really makes a difference; you honestly don't think thats a little uptight? Is this what we have come to our children need to use flash cards to use the bathroom, instead of saying daddy I gotta poop. LOL
As for ratio, I consider a good ratio starting around 3; a ratio of 1.05 is lowest and after you download 1 (let alone multiple) torrents that 1.05 is nothing; I find I rarely can get a full 1:1 ratio on a torrent (at IPT) unless you're lucky enough to be one of the first there when a torrent is uploaded, and even at that 1:1 upload doesn't mean you have regained your 1.05 ratio back. I personally prefer to keep a ratio of 3 and up at my trackers. Heck at THC I have a ratio of 19.69, with know fighting to maintain that kind of double digit ratio. Worst ratio is at CG 2.37, and thats a Very obscure tracker, with very little download (leechers) if any per torrent.
What I'm getting at and I think your comment of having a 1.05 ratio proves is, it is Very difficult to build a substantial ratio. How long have you been with IPT, how long have you been hugging that 1.05, why isn't it a 3 or 7 or 12...etc. because its difficult to build ratio, maybe Easy to maintain, I guess.
I'm not looking to knock IPT or any of its constituents,it is a Great tracker. I'm just stating my experience as when it comes to Ease of ratio as opposed to Ease of Ratio at other trackers, I feel that the numbers don't lie.

For me, ratio is nothing to worry about, it is the amount of Balance Data (Bandwidth) that I have available to download, I could easily have a ratio of 500+ if I have downloaded a 1MB and uploaded 500MB, the problem is then that I can only download 499MB before I on 0 ratio again.. (Just my take of it).

As for IPT, best and easiest tracker I have been working on, I am very active on their IRC channel, there is always a moderator or admin online when a question is posed, and they do reply quickly.

I also do donate time to time not that I have to, but like TI, without people giving back and just taking taking taking, these services will get to an end.

Just my opinion.

Thank You

@crag Just to sum it up !

• That (P) word , some people may get angry with it when it's written in a topic / others Don't! . then it's an issue of Discretion
  
• About ratio on IPT , Extremly easy to get ratio of 3,4,5 , etc.. ,
  by just snatching newly uploaded freeleech stuffs with seedbox . that's only enough to make your own Paradise at IPT !

that's all i got IMO (based on my Exp. with IPT).. cheers !
