A really cool feature could be longer time limit than 30 days for ban for inactivity. The main reason is, that if you are using this site for several years, than you never know if you will be more than 30days off the computer in future. Like you are moving and changing profession, really long holidays in 3rd world, you can be in a hospital for really long time etc. (maybe in half of this examples you can still find some computer and just check this site, but if do not need download anything in that time, than is not other reason to do that).
So no one would like lost his UL/DL just for unexpected inactivity (that happened to me in last 8years for 4 times), but time limit like 3 months will be much more nicer too all user or it can be just for Power Users and higher ranks.

My examples why a was banned in last 8 years:
2 times when I was on summer holidays for over 2 months without my computer and did not have any reason to download anything
1 time, when I moved to other country and had internet just in my work for 3/4 of year.
and last time when I was in a hospital for 4 weeks in New Zealand.

Cheers for well done job on my famous tracker site and I hope that you will discuss this issue seriously.

Well now 42 days, but still does not guarantee that you can not easily lost your account. I do not think that my examples were something really rare for all of us.

Can you live without the internet and computers in general for 42 days? I think not, therefore it's easy to login once every 42 days.

Yes I did, when I stopped played one online game were I spent more than half of my daily life for 1,5 year. And it was great to see that I still was not dependent as I though.

But really when you must count days between last login to other one, just because you NEED update your profile. Than is easy to make a mistake, forget right day and lost it again. You just think that is that simple, but once when you can not download for longer time, you do not know what TB is and either your password.

If you "forget" to login it is quite apparent you do not need the account and it is rightfully deleted. Do you wish to type yourself deeper into that hole or is this far enough?

As you wish,but it just mean that I do not keep my password in my head, but I can always find it and than save into new browser.

But why you do not say any reason to change 42 days to 90 days instead of asking me if I really could not login on TB site till 42 days.

There is also other other possibility, that after 42 days your account does not will be deleted, but frozen or saved for other 2 moths and during this time can be re-activated or something like that, that you do not lose your transferred data.

For the same reason we do not change the activity limit to something like 7 days and the activity itself being something more than just a login.

#1439238 by unknown[443575] at 2011-10-31 00:45:46 (1 year ago) - [Quote] - [Report]

And do you think that 7 days could be better for TB ? Than it will be different tracker if you would like this change. 90days does not change much, almost nothing for all users, but once when you are in situation that you are not with your computer for more than just one month. The limit 42 is starting be really deadly. And why you should check this site that often, when you are here mainly for downloading and keeping your ratio high as possible.

I do not have stats. but now we have 44616 reg. users, max. 15 000 users is active in pools than maybe 1/2 of them is often active on forum. The rest of us is UL/DL but still feeling that TB is famous tracker site ever and I do not change it till my real dead (-:

You're making very little to no sense at all.

I am still saying the same thing, and I think that even my low English skill, it make sense.

After 8 years on TB it seams, that limit 42 days is too short for me. And is only one thing what I would like to change. Than I will be more than happy for next 8 years with TB. Also I think that I am not only one who would like this change and that there is not proper reason to keep that short limit.

The site is not even seven years old, how the hell can you have been here for 8??

If you don't use the account ever 1.5 months, you do not need it. If you forget to login every 1.5 months, you do not need the account. The limits are same for everyone and are not too short. If it seems that way, you do not use the site enough and do not need nor deserve to have an account. Try to understand that. Try very, very hard and understand that. Please.

There is no point whatsoever to "freeze" accounts and then in case the user comes back open those up, It'd just counter the reason why we delete accounts, which is to make room for new people who actually use the accounts. Oh, that is exactly what making the inactivity limit longer would do as well. There is just no point on harboring accounts that are not being used and I really do not see the point in someone having an account they do not use, but keep just to have an account, which means the only way for the limits to go, if anywhere, is stricter.

If you value your account here on TB then you will have no problem login in once every 42 days. If you feel that's a problem, then you don't value your account and you're simply not worth it, so you can make room for someone else. It's really that easy. If you think it's not: feel free to start your own torrent site with your own rules, see how far that will get you.

Well if this current site is almost 7 years old and I remember times before you changed the domain name ? (www.torrentbytes.org ? ) TB started again with new accounts after quite long shut down.

Ok maybe from different point of view is better like it is, but from my side it is as I said. True is, that even if you are fool to lose your account for any reason, than is quite simple to make new registration and start again. Several years back, when the server was almost all the time full It was not that easy.

EDIT:
To DXC: I am really happy on this site and I respect all rules, but I wanted be more happier. I do not need other trackers or own site.
But once when you are here several years, you just want keep your history with even you do not use TB as you would like.

We've never been torrentbytes.org. nor torrentbits.org. That was a whole different site. If you want to keep your history you just USE the site!

Perhaps the tv/xvid and the tv/hd icons need to differ more

Regarding the longer than 42 days before an accounts geters terminated thing, while i have lost accounts before on some very prestigious sites due to that (2 i've still not managed to get back into either) i think the time is sufficient.
If you dont login for a month and a half basically, do you really need the account?

Only reason i've lost sites in the past was due to having too many, now i just have a reminder on my phone to make sure i go through the list and login at least once a month.

Though in reality i do only use 5 sites regularly, the others are mainly for tracking down things that i cant find on those 4.

In short, i know im jsut agreeing with staff here, but i think 42 days is fine. I dont know anyone that can live without internet for over a month and if you are in hospital get someone to login for you occasionally....obviously someone you trust :shifty:

You can trust me, that once you will be there the TB will be last thing what you will care about ;-)

Well it seams that main staff said enough about it, so lets move to other feature for TB.

Which means you do not need that account. Which has been the point since the first reply to you. SHEESH

Categories and mutliple torrents with same main content.

When a show airs, it usually pops up in all formats and sizes, 480p, 720p, 1080i/p, handheld etc etc. This shows as several torrents on the browse page, even tho its the same show/movie, etc. Would it be possible and any good to implent sort of a popup box over each torrent, showing available formats? This way each show/movie would only show as 1 hit on the browse page and make it seem less crowded. I dunno, any pros or cons?

Is it at all possible to create a function that kills active torrents from your profile page? Cutting off the connection to the tracker or something?

Reason I'm asking is; I haven't been home since monday and I'm currently seeding 15 torrents due to rss feed auto download.

I realize this is purely a luxury and'll only suit me and maybe 2 others

EDIT: Might help with over seeding too

That screws up the rss feed url though. Doesn't it?

Most probably. But killing the connections to the tracker on current active torrents does not "fix" the problem you described. You'd need to be able to control the client.

Use a client with a webui/thinclient or setup remote desktop would be a much easier solution than getting the website to create a function for it. You obviously have internet access.
