>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.

I plan to take the MAM interview next time they open, what they ask for btw? I suppose it's just the rules and your wiliness to contribute. Do they have any advantage over shadow libs like anna's and libgen?

>>108957629
They just ask the rules, what a torrent is, what being connectable means, stuff like that. It's very straightforward. MAM is mostly audiobooks but they have some books not on annas. A proper piracy strat involves having a bunch of solid sources to search, MAM fits into that.

I just go to torrent trackers to download shit. I don't care about the rules for posting in comments, forum, shoutboxes, IRC, because I never fucking do that unless it's a comment relevant to a torrent.

I will look into both of those, thank you!

>For people to have a drive to contribute to something they need an expected a return, in an anonymous board you're just shooting into the void, in a forum with identity and a karma system that rewards good contribution and punishes bad one, you can ensure good quality.
I would argue that the reward for contributing in an imageboard is the expectation/hope that other people will reply/opiniate/contribute to the thread. This is more apparent on the image/video sharing boards such as /c/ or /wsg/. You post because you want others to post as well. But it also applies to discussion boards such as /g/. I posted my initial reply to the article both as a way to articulate my thoughts, but also hoping others would reply with their own opinions. Both of these things happened.

Of course, not everyone will contribute. In any online community, most people will be lurkers. I don't know what can be done about it. And you are right that imageboards were better when the internet was smaller, but the same could be said of just about any online community. As the article pointed out, scale tends to lower the quality of the conversation.

I also agree that filters are necessary. Due to the nature of imageboards not requiring an account to post, this is trickier but not impossible. 4chan's most notorious filter is its users. You will be insulted if you post shit. Or even if you just post something someone dislikes. Both of those serve as an incentive to post better stuff, and not care about what others think when you know you're posting good stuff. Good moderation is still necessary, of course, but this filter is also quite effective.

I've also grew more resilient to insults after 4chan. I used to feel really bad when someone said something mean to me, either IRL or online. Thanks to my time here, I can deal much better with insults and harsh words both IRL and online.

>What I was describing is vastly different from what reddit, slashdot, and the like became.
NTA, but I get what you mean. I also think both imageboards and persistent identities have their place in online discussion. One can provide what the other often does not, or by design can not. I don't think either is the end-all, be-all of online communities.

That being said, I also think both of them can become shit with bad moderation. I disagree channers are, by themselves, a bad userbase. They can, and often do, post shit. But they also often post brutally honest words that you don't see elsewhere. They contribute with OC and share good information. Basically every general is a collection of OC and good links sourced from the users themselves. There is still a lot of shit, but for me personally, using filters and ignoring/reporting bad posts is enough to make imageboards worth it. I understand if you disagree, however.

While most altchans don't see much activity, there are a few which I personally like. I like smug loli's /a/ board in specific, because I rarely watch new anime eps as soon as they air, to threads on 4chan's /a/ are dead by the time I get to watch them. While there, the threads tend the persist while the show is still airing, while also have other threads encouraging users to create OC, such as the drawing/writing threads. Chans can be good, but it requires both a community and moderation effort.

from what I've looked into, it gets expensive on the higher end if you're looking to properly record them (table > receiver > software, plus amp somewhere), and even the lazy solution of high end USB tables is like 300-500USD minimum plus (needle) tip

Goddamn I hate that HUNO did the UI change but the tracker itself is so useful.
>>
>>108968967
Just buy one on eBay. It's the path of least resistance, cheaper than buying one officially, doesn't require yourself to get involved with invite selling forums which you should just avoid and they honestly don't give a shit. Just don't brag about it on their comments, forums, or IRC.

It's not worth moralfagging and getting emotionally invested in tracker drama. From our perspective that stuff is simply entertainment. IPT was clearly in the wrong. But so were the protagonists of so many great movies. There are good and useful things about being in IPT as well. Which other tracker allows you to browse with TOR? I also used it in my cross seeding strategies for PTP and HDB to build up my buffer.

Yes and it's pretty fun. Not too costly either. I think you can do it (and do it right) for ~150-200€.
Just get literally any old direct drive turntable (you could find deals as low as 40€), a modern cartrige for ~40-50€ (AT-VM95E), the oehlbach phone preamp pro (35€ used) and a 24/192 audio interface (also ~50€) used.
>>
>>108969936
Haha well there was a situation like that where I was the one who noticed it and reported it to the tracker admins. The tracker is known for being very locked down and rarely recruiting, also forcing exclusivity rules for uploads. A literal pajeet made a "private tracker" that anybody could sign up to where he begged for donations and simply scraped all the torrents/peers from the elite tracker. Everything was indexed on Google. Took a couple weeks of me staying on the asses of the admins about it for them to actually do something about it and cut off the jeet. They didn't seem to care very much.

>>
>>108970005
I don't think that's entirely true. If you're spending that kind of money you will definitely have better ways of cleaning records for example. Having as little crackle/pops as possible beats trying to clean it up in post with software. The more you spend on it the more you get into diminishing returns, as PBTHAL accurately calls it. But you still need to put the effort in to get a good result.
