TrackeReactor, one of the original pioneering Torrent Invites & Tracker Discussion forums, has teamed up with FSF to offer open registration over the next 24 hours. That’s right - no IRC interview; no scrambling to find a buddy to invite you; no donating to gain access. Here’s your chance to join more than 1,000 well-established members sharing invites to some of the most prestigious private trackers on the ‘Net.
Open signups are now closed, folks.
TrackeReactor recently did a massive site housecleaning and pruned off the majority of inactive accounts, paving the way for new members. With an emerging group of experienced private torrenters that seems to grow with each passing day, now’s a great time for TR to open the door. This is truly a rare occurrence - don’t squander this opportunity to join a winning team. Sign up here:

(NOTE: Please, do not create duplicate accounts - you’ll just get disabled, wasting everyone’s time. All IPs that were previously banned or pruned are still in the database. Use their IRC #support channel if you’re looking to get your account re-enabled).
TrackeReactor on IRC:
- Support Channel (hotlink) - irc://tr.on-irc.biz/TR-support
- Invites Channel (hotlink) - irc://tr.on-irc.biz/tr-invites - closed for the time being; may open again in one month.

TR… Some Unique Ideas:
Post Anonymously — Unique to TrackeReactor is the ability to post anonymously, which is great for those concerned about security when making invite GAs. When creating a new thread, choose "Go advanced" and put a checkmark in the "Make Post Anonymously" box. We should note: do not use this feature when replying to an existing thread - it’s only meant to be used for creating threads.
Invitation System — Recently, TR has implemented their own invite system (to TR), whereby all regular members should have now received 5 invites (and 25 for VIPs and up). Check out your "User CP" link for further details - it’s unknown if this applies to new members that just signed up.
Tracker Checker — TR has their own in-forum "live" tracker checker page for displaying private trackers that are online of offline (down). It’s found in the top menu "Trackers > Tracker Checker".
Tracker Ratings — On TR’s refurbished Tracker Ratings page, members can find tracker userbars, ratings (content, speed) and tracker reviews (currently, there’s 225 trackers listed).
SSL Access — Concerned about privacy? Use TR’s SSL link to browse the site - https://trackereactor.com.
Tracker Projects — Staff & members of TR are often involved in the development of new trackers; including PtN, CoExist and others. Their "Recruitment Section" also carries some very interesting sites - such as bR, FTM, CE, nTorrents, x264, StB and ScL.
VIP Section (that’s worth getting into) — Many high-level giveaways are first offered in the VIP section, and moved to the regular thread afterwards - giving VIPs a first crack at some of the better invites. Plus, there’s some nice freebie giveaways; such as seedboxes, premium RapidShare accounts, and the newly-added random harddrive GA in the VIP IRC channel.
