And so it comes, THE BIGGEST CHANGE EVER... this is i'm not talking about design changes, since the biggest one in design was Ajax version few years ago, no... this is about the most painful subject of any tracker with stats - SHARE-RATIO. after long long thinking, pondering this hard issue, we've decided to ease up on those ratio demands, especially the ridiculous first step - no ratio with up to 1GB downloaded, which is very little, just barely 7-10 sets nowadays, and many new users could get discouraged by the warning so sudden, so the Biggest Change of them all changes listed here are the NEW SHARE-RATIO RULES: as of right now, Ratio Rules do not apply to your account, if you have less than 20 GB downloaded, from 20 GB to 50 GB in downloads, one must maintain a ratio minimum of 0.1, thus giving only 10% of taken, from 50 to 100 GB total downloaded, ratio of 0.20 is required, 100 - 500 GB - 0.30, and over 500 GB total downloaded - ratio of 0.4 is required. in general terms, Ratio Rules & Requirements have been sliced 10 times, reduced to mere 8-10% of what's they've been before. and all for one and simple reason: to let YOU download ALL YOU WANT, without concerning your mind with your Share-Ratio!! (as new rules were applied, almost 850 warnings were removed, let's hope it stays that way!!) as a little treat for new users only, the old and overly useless now restriction of maximum 3 simultaneous downloads for users with less than 2 weeks online, has been dropped: download all YOU want, 20 first Gigabytes of music are Yours to take, while getting closer to those 20 GB try to share back (a.k.a. upload) some mere 2 GB and you're safe. or donate $5 and get those 2 GB in upload credits, easy and safe as well: since now donations as small as $5 will make a big big difference!! plus, as an afterthought to all these changes, donation credits assigned to willing donors will be increased as well, a bit later. third and not the last, comes change of (Immortal) Points received for seeding, especially for seeding Ratio-Free torrents, to be short and to avoid math in here, i'll just say that now you'll receive 10 TIMES MORE POINTS for seeding regular torrents, as well as ratio-free (a.k.a. undead, a.k.a. everLife) ones. for those who seed hundreds of torrents this means much faster growth of Immortal Rating... long story short, now you will receive 0.002 of a point for seeding 1 torrent for 1 minute. and fourth little present, RATIO FREE MONDAYS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!! wow, it's been gone for 1.5 years, and now it's time to bring it back, so that all our community could enjoy one awesome feature of tribalmixes: DOWNLOAD ALL YOU WANT!! especially on Mondays. now more from the background life of TribalMixes.com... as some have already noticed, we have a new Moderator, it is our widely well known, highly respected and deeply beloved MADES, he's been in this status for about 3 weeks already, looking around & getting used to new features, but it's about time for him to start attending to his duties. new rules have been set for Power User's promotion, in two words - requirements were doubled. right now there's 2085 power users, their main distinction from users being permissions to upload and share torrents, along with some other nice little things. well, from this point on, to become a Power User, one must have been a member for at least 8 weeks, uploaded 50GB of data to other users and possessed a personal share-ratio of 2.00 or higher at the moment of promotion. demotion now will come if that ratio falls below 1.90. Please NOTE, current Power Users with total uploads below new limit of 50GB or ratio less than 1.90 will not be demoted for those reasons, but treated according to old rules: unless their ratio falls below 0.95 they will not be demoted, but once that happens, they will have to adhere to new rules of promotion. comes last, but still important to mention, our server machine underwent some maintenance, it was powered down and possibly moved to a different room where it shows lower temperatures now, thus website wasn't accessible for about 3 hours, and i think most of us haven't even noticed this downtime, besides this there was no significant outages, except for 3 minutes that same day. also the background mechanics of server-to-your-browser page-data sending has been changed, now all pages are sent to you slightly archived (zipped), taking up to 10 times less bandwidth, plus archiving process was set up through the page-serving software, to make story short: you should have noticed faster website response times, faster page loads, much much faster browsing even if your browsing was lightning-fast already! i know i see it... all in all, just trying to keep you on top of our 'happenings'. thanks for being with us!!! people like you make our community a stronger institution, and even if you don't communicate or rate torrents, the numbers of downloads (snatches) still mean alot to us. if you'd like to discuss this news post, offer insights, suggest possible additional changes and improvements, and even congratulate our new moderator, - please, come by this topic in forums and speak your mind!!

the changes you did slash are really        and it shows that it took a lot of time to think about them the new share ratio rules are great, they could have helped me in the past, but my ratio is ok know the best 2 that i adore in the changes are RATIO FREEEEEEEEEE Mondays that will benefit me a lot                 and the immortal points that will increase my immortaliy status but you go 2 fast slash very hard to keep up. about the power user promotion/demotion i think i will hold my place there was i day i did feel that TM wasnt working, THE WEBSITE IS GREAT SO THANK YOU SLASH, VIKTOR, THE MODS AND THE USERS congrats MADES hope you do i good job     cant thank you enough slash

nice job. keep up the good work :)

Wicked news... Ive always thought a site like this should do the most it can to encourage downloading seeing how its not just about uploaders gaining ratio, but also about gaining an audience for the sets that are upped - I think the new rules will really encourage a lot more downloads, and as pointed out, especially with new users. Its really good to hear Ratio-free Mondays are making a return. Thats awesome news in itself... A defo thunbs up for that one!! And congrats to you Mades - well done mate... dont be too hard on us   So yeah, good work Slash. Big thanks

#f30679 by Ojaypwr (mp2/mp3/aac/ogg) at 2009-08-26 19:17:42 GMT (1 year ago)

hm, making TM a torrent site being close to a download site - just faster.... I understand the reason but some of the older torrents will lose their seeders...

#f30748 by Ayman2pwr (TranceologY) at 2009-08-31 15:08:34 GMT (1 year ago)

great job slash,thank u!   but i'm afraid that some users would forget about ratio which leads to less seeders n low d/l speed...anyway, u did a great job n i have to admit it 'it's not easy being an admin'     thnx again 4 the appreciated effort
