Here’s a silly question. How do get to the PM’s?
You just signed up and all you want is an invite to get stuff?
😦
This particular question was where in the profiles do PMs show up.
But yeah. I downloaded versions last year and saw this thread and asked for a myspleen invite like many others have.
The problem I have is that none of you will be contributing members here because all you want is a spleen invite. Sadly, we have people still giving them out willy nilly, and that sucks for us.
😦
I’m not sure I see the downside. You get new members to the forum and maybe give them a chance to contribute. Some will. Some won’t.
At the end of the day people just want to download and experience the project.
If I need 50 or 100 or 500 posts before an invite we’ll so be it.
Meanwhile I’ll go back to watching ANH v2.5
The problem is that people ask for myspleen invites from existing myspleen users, download despecialized, maybe seed it or only leech it, and then never leech/seed anything else on the site. The site owners hate these kinds of people because they dilute the value of not only having a private tracker, but having one of the most unique and vibrant trackers out there, myspleen. Jetrell is right to be upset, and I echo his sentiment. If you are asking for a myspleen invite, be prepared to fully contribute. If you just want despecialized, there are other official and unofficial means of getting it.
This goes for everybody else asking for myspleen invites in this thread, too. If you truly wish to join myspleen, then please do not just hit and run the site for despecialized. Stick around, seed, and look for other cool things to grab and seed. Maybe even upload something, too. There are many ways to contribute to myspleen, but hitting and running is a cardinal sin on this and all other private trackers.
I never asked for a MySpleen invite but Blackout gave me one when I said that I don’t have a MySpleen account.
And yeah, I don’t hit-and-run despite my poor ratio but my ratio is only poor because the torrents I usually download are in very low demand and the Despecialized Editions aren’t the only things I got from MySpleen despite it being the main draw to this website.
For example, I found some weird official Star Wars Christmas album called Christmas in the Stars which is now very rare as well as some neat The Making of the Star Wars Trilogy documentaries.
And Star Wars wasn’t the only thing I found, I found the complete series of Clarissa Explains It All, which is now obscenely rare except for Hulu Plus who has most episodes, but even that isn’t the complete series.
Now I can carry the legacy of my teenage years to my son, from Clarissa Explains It All to the unaltered Star Wars Trilogy.
I also found some other neat and interesting stuff other than those aforementioned things.
I will backup as many of my downloaded torrents on blank DVDs as time goes on.
I will also keep seeding for as long as possible.
And as for uploading stuff, I am now scouring around the net for a FLAC version of Clarissa and the Straightjackets: This is What “Na Na” Means to upload on MySpleen and maybe make my own DVD-9 version of the Despecialized Editions with bonus features and alternate sound mixes if I get the basics of DVD authoring.
You won’t last there if your ratio continues to suck. Other people KNOW what’s there, and they come here for the invites, they don’t bother joining the spleen forum for their invite requests. History has shown that those droves of people coming here for invites never stay members here. They drop off because they get what they came for. We have members here that don’t give a damn about that issue so the leechers keep coming here.
😦
This is why I am very desperate to raise my ratio but unfortunately, my laptop is running out of disk space and I need to raise it, unfortunately, some torrents I downloaded (like Clarissa Explains It All) are of low demand and have very few, if any, leechers.
And unfortunately, I have very few material which may interest the Spleeners.
I am looking for that aforementioned Clarissa album (which some may want to download) but I am not really sure if Spleeners may be interested in some of my Star Wars VCDs, I have an official Philippine VCD of The Phantom Menace (which is in English), it’s the theatrical version but is pan-and-scan so some may not want to download it if they have the Japanese LaserDisc, I also have a bootleg of the timecoded leak of Revenge of the Sith in which the video is heavily compressed and has a wrong aspect ratio.
Anyways, what is the ratio threshold there?
