the oink invite request thread

[koots]

i guess they have a friend thing on there so i guess if you want to look me up, im ianzissou.

im pretty bummed because when i was at work my mom went on and downloaded a shit load of nine inch nails, which killed my total lackluster ratio.

and the "downward spiral" begins

ouch dude.

[dirtjers]

hahaha i have a 1.072 ratio, there is hope.

[bentmode]

any ideas on lame shit that i should download to help with the ratio? this is a site i would really like to keep.

[dirtjers]

i don't even know if that would help, because then you only get a really really small portion and your ratio wouldn't be doing any climbing. in my case, i got lucky because it turned out i became the only person seeding this Gene album i had on there, and my ratio went from like 0.5 to 1.5 over night. i guess it wouldn't hurt to check out like whats on the billboard tops right now or something if you didn't mind cluttering your computer up.

There are a couple things about Oink that really really piss me off.
I love the site.  When I joined it last year it totally rejuvenated my interest in music.
However, I really think an uploader should be able to categorize a torrent by at least two genres.
For example, I have a bunch of cd's by various Japanese punk and indie bands.  Now I can put that into
either punk or Asian...but not both.  It makes no sense.  They have an area in the forums where you
can recommend changes/improvements.  Unfortunately the dude who is the mod is so far stuck up his
own ass with power that he refuses to even talk about anthing. 

Also, does anyone else remember audiogalaxy?  The cool thing about that program was that it allowed you
to always check out new music.  You search for a group you know and want to download and then it recommends
a couple other bands that you might like. 

Oink's policies actually go against discovering new music.   

[cold budweisers]

audiogalaxy was the best, ever

This is the reason why when the stats server went down he didn't give a fukk about who uploaded/ downloaded, he just disable(s)/deletes accounts wholesale because the spunk nazi doesn't know fukk all about imaging...Anyway, this shit isn't rocket science and I still don't have an invite.
Sad thing is the old shit I upped is probably still being d/l'ed yet I can't get back in...

I kindly recieved an invite by kuman.  I still can't invite people. I don't know how I'll get my ratio up because the torrents that I was seeding were on the computer in Japan so now I have nothing to seed, and I've already downloaded 200 or 300mb. I don't really have anything to upload here either. Anyone have any tips to get my ratio up?

 Thanks.

[yeah dude!]

You're not going to be able to invite anyone until you have uploaded 10gigs. And have a ratio of 1.05 or something.

Be sure to make sure that you are "clever".  Check the FAQs on the site.  You don't have anything you could possibly upload?  Dude, Japan release stuff usually fares pretty well; don't you have anything like that?  If so hook it up as regular rip and if possible as flac as well.  That might help.

Hah.  I've been sitting on 7gb for months.  I probably won't upload enough until Christmas time when they do they whole downloading doesn't effect your ratio.

Yeah, that's what did it for me.
