This is Part II of the Most Popular Private Tracker Invite Requests of 2010. From the first 25, there are only 3 trackers that were not listed at least somewhere within the top 50. From the these last 25, almost half are brand-new entries for 2010. Since we publish this "Top 50" series quite late in the year, it gives newer trackers a fair chance to be listed. That is, if they aren’t open for registration most of the time. Having said that, here are a few interesting statistics from the entire 50:

After dozens of emails asking us, "What happened to ThePirateSociety?" - we’ve just now received the official word from the proud new owner. Sorry folks, there’s not a lot of juicy gossip in this one, but what’s very clear is that TPS has indeed returned true to form - minus a few staff members.

Big news from the filesharing subculture of torrent invite forums, 
No, this article isn’t about a P2L tracker. Those of you who’ve been around the private tracker scene long enough probably remember the original StN (sharing-the.net), a tracker discussion forum that went underground nearly a year ago. Comparable to other secretive (some will say "elite") BT communities that you may or may not have heard about (CFS, Panda, I-C/Indigo), StN - though small - is very much alive and rife with activity, and now accepting applications. 
Here at FSF, we’re always on the lookout for the newest tracker invite sites. Whether it be duds like TakeMe, CGI-U or SceneInvites - or studs such as TPS, Etiv and TR; we aim to report about them all unbiasedly - and let our readers decide. Let us introduce the latest torrent forum to launch - inviteTheScene.
