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.

GFT, Pedro's, x264, nCore etc. tracker level changes.

The movie tracker x264 is advancing once more. This time to lvl 7.

The level 10 tracker that went down is up again under a different name.

Old tracker Filelist.org has had so many domain and owner problems the last years that it's not even funny. The domain is changed yet again and the tracker is now called postfile.org. The tracker hasn't had open signups for ages but the old stats is gone and the doors are therefor now open. Filelist changes name and is out from the list.

Ncore advances from lvl 2 to lvl 5. What.cd is up from lvl 4 to lvl 5. GFT is up from lvl 5 to lvl 6. HDBits is up from lvl 8 to lvl 9. Pedro's BTmusic is up from lvl 7 to lvl 8. CHDBits is up from lvl 5 to lvl 6.

ScienceHD is down from lvl 6 to lvl 5.

TTG (TorrenTGui) and HDChina joins Tracker levels at lvl 5. Klatbits (k**, k) and DB9 joins the list at lvl 4.

Elite level 10 tracker closed down. Plus UK-T ressurection.

The biggest and one of the oldest level 10 trackers that has gone through quite a few domain and name changes during the last decade has sadly enough closed down.

Other news is that new (old) UK-Two joins the list at level 7. Former old elite tracker UK-t(orrents) has opened up once again after it's death some months ago because of a CD/DVD seller who named UK-t as his online supplier of copied material when he was caught. This is apparently not just a copy cat by people not related to the old site. As it turns out some of the old staff is running the site. And quite a few of the old members recieved invitations.
Recently there has also been invites  handed out to all members:

UK-two has given everyone invites for limited time
Invite a friend weekend
Lots of new stuff going on in the background people, more about that over the next 48 hrs
In the meantime we are going to have an “invite a friend” weekend, invites have been give out as follows:
User 1 Invite
PU up 2 Invites
Uppers 3 Invites

Invites are available on your accounts now for a limited time, as ever please take care to invite people you can trust and who will be active on site.

Other changes to the list are: FTN up one level to level 8. Ts-Tracker up one level to level 7. x264 up one level to level 6. CHDBits gets a lot of requests so it moves up two levels to level 5.

Updates, updates, updates..

Sorry for not being able to update lately, have had a lot to do irl.

Skittles dead, AOM pending (moving up?), FTN pending (moving up?), EotW moving down, TS-Tracker moving up, x264 moving up, TopHos moving down, Swebits dead, sceneXpress/seX pending (down/dead?), DesiTorrents added, CN resurrection/name change (TBH).

Random [#] changes.

Ok, guys. In need of help when it comes to HD movie trackers - names, levels, ratings etc..

BCG again

BCG has always been the king of game trackers. Most would say that it still is but to be honest BCG has lost much of its former glory during 2010. A year ago BCG tried a new invite system using referrals. They changed their login page to a fake one and they made up a personal random word that you had to write in a search box before being able to login with your ordinary username and password.
According to BCG this was done as a security measure. But the invite referral system was flawed.
Referrals wasn't easy to get a hold on. And the person you invited had to have your secret word in order to sign up and the sign up process had to be done in a couple of hours after the mail had been sent out. What happened was that people didn't bother to sign up. And people started using other game trackers instead of BCG.
We all know what happened after that. No new members meaning no new donors. BCG has now had open sign ups for the last couple of months looking for new members.
BitGamer on the other hand has closed invites in preparation for a new invite system. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake as BCG.

It definitely feels like most of the new accounts on BCG are dupes because of the vast amount of accounts found at different trading sites. And with no stop in sight when it comes to open sign ups the former king of gaming now finds itself at level 2.

Up, up!

Combined FLAC and movie tracker Skittles moves up one level to join the likes of HDBits and iTS. Lately it has been very quiet when it comes to info about Skittles. No one knows how many torrents or members there are. And no one knows how to join. Skittles is a bit of a mystery in the torrent world so to speak. But if given the opportunity people would not hesitate to join. No invites or accounts are given away freely. No recruitment threads are to be seen. This means level 8.

Specialized FLAC tracker Pedro's BTMusic is one of the best in the game. The possibility to buy your way in to the tracker doesn't exist anymore and invites are only handed out to uploaders and VIP:s. If you upload music and especially FLAC:s on other music trackers chances are that you'll have an easy time getting invited but if you're a regular leecher and seeder chances are slim.
It's relatively easy to get a hold of an account by the means of trading if you're into that though. Still the demand for BTMusic is growing and there's no change in invite policy to be seen. Level 7 for Pedro's.

Changes or misdirections

iTS is one of the higher level trackers and has been specializing more and more in AFR:s and FLAC music lately. A lot of members from "The Rabbit" emigrated to iTS when FTWR fell of the web but the tracker is still fairly small with a small user base. Apparently they need some new blood so iTS has had open invite applications for a couple of weeks (only higher user classes has been able to make applications for potential members in the past). According to some torrenters this should lead up to a level drop. But to this point there has only been around 100 new members joining the ranks. And with such a small user base and still a big demand the tracker will stay put at level 8.

On the other hand. The dedicated magic tracker AOM slips down one level. It tracks about 4000 torrents and have a member base of about 900 members. Art of Misdirection meets a lower and lower demand on the tracker market and people who actually have any real use for the tracker (read magicians) easily join by applying for membership. Level 8 next for AOM.

nCore changes

We've been notified about open signups for nCORE tracker. This massive general tracker has about 80k active torrents and about 130k users. It's been staying at level 4 for quite a while but because of the amount of users, the not so big demand and of course open signups the tracker tumbles to level 2.

TT is moving down

Since Trance Traffic opened up to 3k more users and gave out over 2k invites via lottery the market has been flooded with just too many invite offers and sadly enough just as many "Have TT freash account" offers. TT moves down from level 7 to level 6.

Moved BitHQ

Down to level 2. Still open signups.

Moved CHDBits

Classic High Definition Bits moves down to level three. As you all have seen invites are plentiful.
