New high level tracker dLL and random level changes

As some of you might have seen there has been some tracker level changes during the past couple of weeks. Here is a fast run through:

FSC is the most sought after "community" tracker but the rush to get in isn't as high as it used to be. Recruiting members openly from FST might not have been the the best choice either. One level drop from 9 to 8.

AOM reestablishes itself by jumping up one level to lvl 9. So at this moment we only have specialized content trackers at the second highest level. Exigo for lossless music, AOM for magic torrents and HDBits for high definition film and TV.

LFM releases loads of early internals and has had a good start. But invites are plentiful and recruitment happens on most tracker power user forums. Down from lvl 7 to lvl 5.

GFT recently opened invites and even allowed for Romanians and Egyptians to get in or get back. We therefor anticipate that the ban hammer will sound a few times in the future and GFT falls from lvl 6 to lvl 5.

Sweden's leading tracker Sparvar has closed its doors indefinitely and we've seen a surge of people wanting to get in. It flies (pun intended) up from lvl 4 to lvl 6. Another Swedish tracker Ti (The Internationals) which started of pretty well hasn't even come close to live up to its predecessor and falls from lvl 5 to lvl 4.

We would very much like to welcome a new high level tracker that goes by the abbreviation of dLL. To get in you most likely will have to gain access to a forum that officially doesn't exist first and from there register to the tracker.
Someone just told us however that member applications for people outside has been temporarily enabled. So hurry up! But you will first have to find a member that can help you with the application.

New additions: iFR, eLK, fux0r and Sinderella

First, uk-2 is in a very sad state. No users, no leeching, no seeding. One big problem (as the admins and sysops can't seem to understand) is that the design is flawed. And maybe you say: "That shouldn't matter, we're here to download stuff". We say: That might be true, but if you easily can find exactly the same general content at every other place why would you want to login to uk-2 where you risk temporary blindness every time. And only the name uk-t is sadly not enough to make a great tracker. We've seen the resurrections go down that way all to many times in the bittorrent world. We still hope for for the best but uk-two slides down from lvl 5 to lvl 4.

BTN has had some drama lately, Azza (founder of BTN) has been kicked out and he has probably stolen some donations too. No one really knows. Nonetheless BTN goes up from lvl 4 to lvl 5. Followed by DB9 (deepbase9) also from lvl 4 to lvl 5.

Most big porn trackers has usually been semi private trackers with huge user counts. That has probably also been their fall. After Cheggit left us late 2011 all addicts (many of them earlier refugees from Empornium and Pure TnA) scrambled to find new havens. Members spread to Deviloid, BMTorrents, Malacka and Empornium II. But there are also two porn trackers that had begun as private trackers and stayed that way and after the porn apocalypse has been getting more and more requests. One of them is Korean tracker Sinderella and the other one is fux0r. They both make their entry at lvl 3.

Bibliotik, is a tracker for e-books and audio books and is literally a tracker that is more than meet the eye. Bibliotik retired for some months and then came back. Invites are not that easy to get a hold on and the tracker joins trackerlevels as high up as lvl 5.

There has been much talk about two new music trackers. One of them is another lossless tracker called iFR. They have a small user base and some recruitment going on in tracker power user forums and alike. The other music tracker is eLK (Electrobits) but which although it's name is a general music tracker.

They started out hard fetched but has gone more and more generous when it comes to invites and the tracker has had open signups every now and then. Strangely enough eLK has been traded and offered vastly since they started out. iFR joins trackerlevels at lvl 4 and eLK joins us at lvl 2.
