Yearning for a new torrent community to find invites & private tracker chat? After a somewhat lengthy downtime Invite Nation has returned as version 2.0 - and looks better than ever. Invite-Nation first began back in March 2007 but ran into some funding and database problems earlier this year. The site & forum went through a complete overhaul recently (and a new domain) and current members mostly consist of mods, admins and VIPs from the old site - and has finally decided to go semi-public.
Currently I-N is not open directly to new members, however invites are easily attainable through their IRC channel (there’s no interview - just ask).
- Server: irc.p2p-network.net
- Channel: #invitenation

Last words: I-N has a good group of experienced torrenters, many that you’ll recognize from other forums. Their rules aren’t overly strict, and there are no "off limit" trackers. The forum is well organized without dozens of topics that don’t concern BitTorrent. There’s also a great tagging system for the GA threads which is great for finding invites to specific trackers.
