	[quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"](6:22:35 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: What was your ratio on oink? (6:23:51 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Wasn't it like 8 or 16 or something? (6:57:27 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: :( (7:49:11 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Well bad news for you. (7:49:12 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=86389 (7:49:47 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: I'm a little tired of being the retarded one on caltrops all the time, could you pick up some of the slack for me <b>okay thanks</b>. (9:08:00 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: no I never had much more than a 1.0 (9:08:05 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Oh. (9:08:08 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: I thought you had like a billion. (9:08:17 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: net 1TB transferred each way (9:08:19 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Well I told people you had an 8 and they banned you for having too big of a ratio. (9:09:14 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: I was banned for "burning" a 1.0 ratio account by using all the available ratio slack. Miniumu acceptable was like .65 so I could transfer 350 gigd gratis before hitting the wall (9:09:24 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: then I made a new account and that got banned along with the old one (9:10:19 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: So you actually were banned then. (9:10:24 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: yes (9:10:25 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Als you invited me. (9:10:29 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: THAT'S A BIG RED FLAG (9:10:38 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: two separate accounts, which wasn't prohibited by the rules (9:10:43 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Minimum acceptable? (9:10:51 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: But I heard all you needed was to maintain a 0.5 ratio. (9:11:53 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: yeah maybe .5, .65 what's the difference? Either way it translated to me taking 100s of gigs (9:12:05 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: No it's 0.5 it says on the faq. O______O (9:12:18 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: The guy even showed me a screenshot that he had taken of the faq page. (9:12:23 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: To prove it. (9:12:40 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: what he says about it being easy to get ratio, that was true in the later phase, after they publicized the acceptable ratios (which were previously CLASSIFIED) and made a tradition out of the annual holiday free for all (9:13:34 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: So this guy is a newb. (9:13:39 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: [18:51] [lolotar (POWER USER)] I mean, do you want to make the argument that the Oink staff went around and chose random groups of people to be subjected to impossible ratio requirements? why would they do that? [18:51] [lolotar (POWER USER)] what exactly is the motivation, and where's any evidence that it ever happened? [18:54] [Grek] nice one lolotar (9:13:41 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: "this is a problem on his end " it definitely was NOT. During the worst period you couldn't get takers on anything because everyone was afraid of being banned (9:13:45 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: There was some backslapping going on here. (9:14:38 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: that was the best part about the holidays, not that you could download everything (which was pretty good) but that there was mad downloading everywhere and you got up credits for it which could be exchanged at 2x if you were only trying for a .5 ratio (9:15:10 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: average time to 1.0 on any given torrent was about 2 months (9:16:18 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Why aren't you posting this to the boards. >:O (9:16:25 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: NOW I HAVE TO POST THIS AIM LOG (9:16:47 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: I'd rather you post it, that way people will actually read it (9:16:50 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: :( (9:16:57 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Good point (I wouldn't read a post by you). (9:18:52 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: The guy definitely seems a little irrational and unwilling to listen to anything that deviates from the oink groupthink. (9:19:15 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: yeah, how very uncommon (9:37:17 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Oh yeah this. (9:37:17 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: <a href="http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/6518/oinkratiovx1.png">http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/6518/oinkratiovx1.png</a> <img src="http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/6518/oinkratiovx1.png"> (9:37:25 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: I almost forgot the link that he actually somehow had. (9:37:36 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Like I'M GOING TO HAVE A SCREENSHOT OF THIS FOREVER JUST IN CASE. (9:37:36 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: oh te faw screenshot (9:37:48 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Ratio 0.005, lawl. (9:37:56 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: "now that I can order prints online from walmart, it's a nobrainer!" (9:38:00 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: This is probably someone else's then. :( (9:38:17 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: all my favorite websites franed and on my wall (9:38:31 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: actually Caltrops should sell these (9:38:38 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Hahaha. :( (9:38:44 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: Just a screenshot of the main forum page for that day (9:38:48 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: signed by ICJ (9:38:56 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: The rules page. (9:39:00 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: NO MOD SASS (9:59:46 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: [19:18] [lolotar (POWER USER)] I couldn't spend my ratio fast enough [19:18] [lolotar (POWER USER)] All you have to do is check for popular releases (9:59:58 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: I didn't know you could spend a ratio, I guess that was a new one (added after I was banned). (10:09:46 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Do you think I should post the entire IRC log? (10:11:00 PM) <font color="gold"><b>Ray, a being of pure light</b></font>: "spend" = download without intending to seed (10:13:14 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Oooooooo.[/quote]
