While iTS is a relatively unknown newcomer, forum activity is quite high for just 70 registered members - which includes a robust selection of invite giveaway threads.
InviteTheScene …A Look Inside:
- URL: https://invitethescene.org
- Signup: https://invitethescene.org/register.php
- Language: English. This is not a Romanian forum.
- Online Since: Mid-October, 2009.
- IRC — Server: irc.xevion.net [channels: #iTS (main chan), #iTS-Help (support), #iTS-Invites (invite channel).]
- Members: ~70
- Trading: No trading, no account giveaways.
- Invite Giveaways: Yes, open to all members (no postcount requirements; no ‘days on site’ requirements).
- Invite Requests: Members require 25 posts and 5 rep in order to make requests.
- Rep System: Yes. Rep system is quite candid, and not specific to giveaways fulfilled. Members can rep for help, tutorials or anything else they find worthy of repping for (simply describe or state the reason for the rep).
- Tracker Recruitment: Yes, but currently iTS doesn’t list any recruitment offers.
- Tracker Reviews: Yes, but mostly older reviews. This is said to change soon whereby only new tracker reviews are allowed.
- No-Movement Trackers: Yes, but none listed as of yet.
- VIP / Hidden Forums: Yes (see below). Depending on userclass, different forum options open up. Generally these areas are for special invite giveaways that are offered openly to others of the same group (GFT, ScT and others have been seen so far).
InviteTheScene Info…
SSL-Forced — iTS has a self-signed SSL certificate; SSL (https) is forced on the site.
Session Times — From what we’ve experienced, members are logged out of iTS quite regularly, so save your user/pass combo.
iTS Blog — Also has a blog for site & torrent news at invitethescene.org/blog/
Rules — Nothing too strict to report about. Common sense, mostly.
Introductory Post — Not mandatory (yet), but it’s recommended that new members make an introduction.
Twitter — http://twitter.com/inviteTheScene
Our Last Word…
Unlike some other new invite sites that ask for profile links to other trackers, and/or ratio proofs and speedtests that confirm nothing anyways, inviteTheScene asks for none of this. New members don’t need to post an introduction and wait for approval by staff to access the rest of the forums. Most forum areas are accessible to all.
Refreshingly, iTS is a site where new members can sign up and start taking place in requesting or offering invite giveaways right away. There’s no minimum postcount; no minimum days on the site; no mandatory crap. Just register, and go. Your membership at iTS won’t be judged on speedtests, ratio buffers or upload statistics. Be sure to read the rules, though.
