NeonScene.net - The Newest Torrent Invites Forum

January 13, 2009 by sharky

Another exciting new torrent invites forum that recently opened their doors is NeonScene.net. NeonScene is designed a little differently, and is divided into three distinct forum segments. There’s the Main Forum for announcements, general discussion and news; then there’s the Torrent Invites section for tracker recruitment, torrent news, requests & giveaways; and lastly there’s the Off-Topic Chat area for tutorials, release discussions (movies, TV, etc) and everything else. NeonScene has already amassed almost 500 members since their official launch in December, and there’s been more than 160 giveaway threads.

NeonScene… A Look Inside

Number of Members — Currently, there’s 443.

Invite / Account Trading? — NeonScene is a non-trading forum.

"Rep" System? — Yes, similar to any other forum.

Special "Rep" System? — Yes, called the i Reward system. Unlike other forums that allow for ‘rep’ to be given for just about everything, the i Reward only applies to torrent invitations. Invitees must submit specific information ("deal thread URL" and a short comment) after receiving the invite, in which staff will approve the reward point. Invitees who fail to give an i-Reward after a giveaway are liable to receive a negative "rep" from the inviter.

Tracker Recruitment — Yes, there’s a recruitment thread. Requires 20 or more posts to enter.

Invite Giveaways — You’ll need to make a minimum of 10 posts before being able to view the giveaways. There’s also a private (VIP) High Level Invite Giveaways section.

Invite Requests — Yes, requires a 30-post minimum to view this thread. There’s also a private (VIP) High Level Invite Requests section.

Last 10 Giveaways — TiT, ScL, SCC, IPT, TheSurgeons, ICTorrents, Learnbits, BitGamer, TL, BitMeTV

Tracker Reviews — Currently, there’s 65 reviews.

Seedbox Reviews — Yes (presently 15). Each seedbox company is neatly organized in its own thread here, where members can discuss each one.

Donations / VIP access — "For a $30 donation you will receive lifetime VIP along with access to higher level giveaways, special upper level unreadily available invites and full access to all restricted forums, information, hidden IRC rooms and forums, and other exciting incentives."

Our Notes:

About Invite Giveaways — We’ve found the giveaway rules to be the least strict of any torrent forum (perhaps because they’re so new). Many invites are just freely handed out; and others require a speedtest and ratio proof(s).

NeonScene IRC:

NeonScene has their own IRC server at 72.8.167.50:6667. You’ll need to first register yourself before being able to join their channels:

/msg nickserv register <your password> <your email address>

Example: /msg nickserv register neonscener ida_smithz9019@gmail.com

IRC Giveaways — NeonScene has an IRC channel set up specifically for tracker invitations in their #invites channel. Other channels include #NeonScene, #VIP, and #help.
