GT.ru Staff wished merry XMAS!!

Good idea. Lowering the Bonus ratio wouldn't be a bad idea either.
-
Great idea - I reached automatically the level above the minimum ratio, hehe! Thanks a lot and happy after-Christmas days for everybody!!!!!

To permanently lower the ration with 0.10. Wow, that's a nice christmas gift indeed and much appreciated. Thank you all very much for this. But then again, do we really need it? For more than a year this site has done a great job; it gave people all over the world the chance to share files and to get to know each other. The only contribution as members was to keep up a share ratio of 0.35. Now, that's definitely not too high. Other sites require an even higher ratio, so 0.35 is definitely not too high or a burden. Maybe this ratio has also contributed to the success of this site as being a fair ratio.
Apart from ratio, am I wrong in saying that we as leechers owe it to the seeders that we should at least seed a full copy of the file that we leeched? That we should always try to bring up the ratio of a file we have leeched to 1.00 before we take it out of roulation? What I am trying to say is that we should all just try to keep our ratios as high as possible, depending on our connection and storage abilities of course.Anyway, to all the staff, thank you and a happy xmas.

Nice christmas gift…..
But is there no gifts for users with good ratios and bonus ??
:weep:

i can make some naked pics of myself for those with good ratio..
if the site starts suffering, i would change the ratio back to a higher value…

Maybe as a Mod I should not say this, but MY OPINION (not Tom's - he owns the site and can do what he wants) is exactly the same as "Rhialto". One of the few things that really bothers me, is when I see "Hit and Run" members! They come to the site and leech, leech, leech then leech some more. They have their download rights suspended, what do they do? Try to open a second account so the can leech even more!
As far as I am concerned, you should be willing to give back as much as you take! Again, this is MY PERSONAL opinion, but I thought .350 was too low. Thank goodness we have members like "Rhialto", and many others, who seed more than they leech, and uploaders who take the time and effort to get a torrent on the site. They play a MAJOR role in the success of the site, and I PERSONALLY consider it an insult to them when these leechers come in, download a torrent and don?t bother helping to seed it.
JEESSHHH, guess I'm a grouch. It?s the Holiday season, I should cool my jets! Gotta watch the blood pressure!
I also want to add my personal thanks to the many good members I have had the pleasure of meeting during the last year, and hope you all have a Happy 2008.

thats why you got the title "rationator!" hehehe…
as i said.. when this decision will be bad for the whole tracker, we can change it back to whatever.
we are already very strict with our rules...
@all the cheaters out there: believe me... there can be done more against those actions... and will be done!
@the good guys: you will get special features... or at least KEEP some of the features poor/new users will not have.. like performance killing peerlist's, the ability to stay anonymous (at least to not display your username) in the torrent list...
the needed amount of GB's to get power user status will also be raised..
-
I'm looking forward to the increase in the Power User promotion.
-
Thanks for the wishes. This is one great of a site.
Tom I'm waiting for your pictures :w00t: -
I agree with PDU4!
-
and i thought about the people with very poor upstreams… which may sometimes not able to get there ratio up even if they try... and because so many people think, that we're to unfair
-
Thanks for the great Christmas present.
Now how a bout the nude pictures :devil:

Merry Christmas and Happy HolidaysI just want to thank you all for this really superb site and the uploaders for all their wonderful files, Evert .
On behalf of the entire staff of GT.ru, we wish each and every one of you, Happy Holidays. We hope that 2008 will be a year filled with love, peace, joy and good health.
Last year at this time we had about 15,000 members. Today we have almost 70,000 so we thank you for your support. We especially thank those who have donated to the site. You make it possible to keep the site going. Also, many thanks to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to Upload new torrents. Without you the site would have nothing to offer, and you don?t get enough thanks for your efforts.
:love: Tom
(When I get some programming time during the Holidays, you will get some Christmas gifts….!! you will love them!)

I don't wanna be the bad guy, but I think that lowering Ratio is the worst thing that can be done for the site. To many people won't share files unless they REALLY have to. I don't think it's fair to download movie after movie and not give anything back. After all, this site is working thanks to everybody taking the time to seed amd upload new torrents. What would happen to the site if everybody had a 0.25 ratio ? If nobody seeded not even the amount they download (Ratio of 1) ? You should think better about that … In my opinion, anyway.
In the end, Happy New Year to everybody! -
i can understand your fear…. also i know that you may not understand this well, when your ratio is above 1 and more..
as long as our Seeder/leecher ratio is at (%) 322 (above 300) i dont see any problems for the site...
you will understand my decision better.. when you will see the feature list which will be avail only for power user's AND NOT for users poor above the min ratio...
-
Well, I don't particularly like this development, but it's your site, tom, and you can do as you like :closedeyes:
Happy New Year to you!! :drunk: :beer2:

i'm not much of a writer myself, but i just want to add my comments to this debate as well…
a ratio of 0.25 is UNBELIEVABLY low and only encourages further leaching. As you can see by my own ratio, I'm far from a model member, but at least I try
I make it a point of seeding until I have reached at least 1.00 on my ratio for that file, but sometimes I grab a file that is older I guess and not many people are looking for it... so it doesn't always work out.What I'm curious about though, is why there is a limit on how many files you can have active at any given time?
Can anybody explain what the reasons for this are? Just curious... This is one of the main reasons I have to stop seeding some files.
Besides all that... Happy New Year to each and every one of you! May it be the best year yet!
