Ok. So a lot of new fuckers are signing up to XLT because they search google for "Oink invites" and are told to come here. What if you Ceri not only closed the topics, but also deleted them? Would we get rid of the problem? Or is it so funny to mock the oink-members that we want them to sign up?

Sorry, I steered clear of all the Oink threads and still don't really know what oink is (but reading between the lines I get the impression it's some sort of invite-only P2P?). As a result, I had no idea this was a problem. Any other board members care to give their comments on this situation?
If enough people say it's a problem, I'll have a word with Phob and possibly deleted all the oink threads.

You... fool. We don't pay you to think! Donations are up 15% because of the invites! At least they were before you opened your big mouth.
I swear, if it drops more than 1% because of this helpful little post, you are fired. It's as simple as that.

I disagree. I think that it is our duty as humans to help spread the gospel that is OiNK. Additionally the Google Adsense revenue helps maintain the lavish lifestyle that Phobiazero has grown accustomed to.

After venturing into the OiNK invites thread for the first time, I saw this,
'i like the electonic music of darude. he rocks!!!'
from some desperate chancer trying to pass himself off as an electronica aficionado in order to get an OiNK invite. I'm so sorry I have been negligent in my modding: I had no idea things had become so bad in the thread. :(

Hi, this is w M w from xltronic again.
Just to let you know we also have an invite trading system in our forums. Have some spare oink invites, but need a torrentleech? No problem! Just browse the forums and offer a trade!
(seriously I think phobiazero noticed that adsense quadrupled or something so is keeping quiet, but it is a good source of pointless humor, especially now that the xltronic wolfman and qrter the mascot are gone).

Just send this to boss@google.com "Hey dude. We over at XLT doesn't have Oink-invites. Or, like, we have'em, but why would we give'em to Darude-fanbois? Darude, is like total shit! If you send one of those motherfuckers over here again, we will mail you the diaries of Moniod AND Dog Belch with illustrations, and if that doesn't stop them, you will get a daily update about the work on XLTv2.0 (the one with more pixels). OK?"

Who would not be fascinated by two hundred and sixty pixels, each a unique and mysterious marvel of bewildering amazement?

Or with gmail, it's basically an artificial way to increase hype as everyone had a hundred invites that eternally replenished.
But seriously, look at that oink invite thread folks... it is a beautiful work of hilarious comedy... I mean this is it... don't you see?... This is why aphex stopped making good music... so we would lose interest in him and build this oink invite thread instead... in a way it is a work by aphex twin. The oink invite thread is aphex's true next piece of art, and he composed it through his fans. He loves us that much and is truly a genius.

I thought that the owner of this board previously decreed that the Oink thread was to be kept alive, so as to cause an increase in membership numbers.

that's what I thought. It's a fucking embarrassment to XLT. I can't understand phobia's logic letting it continue.
The thread should be closed and all the members that signed up just for that should be banned.

I always thought it was for potential ad revenue, and the whole 'new members' thing was a lie. Not only do lots of people post in those threads, but notice the number of 'guests' these days is *much higher* than it was a year ago, and I attribute this entirely to the invite threads. This latter point in particular should increase the likelihood of people clicking on ads..

This discussion has been brought up before. Phobiazero seem to be satisfied with all the new members who are potential add clickers, which equals more money.

There must be some server side preprocessing going on because I can't block those even by disabling scripting. AND I have adblock AND I have google-analytics and googlesyndication blocked by foxyproxy.

oink was a torrent site specialized in music. indietorrents was a twin site of it. good music and good times.
