>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the lowest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for unprofessional development, by recognizing technical incompetence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.

>It doesn't matter if you use the same username in different trackers, the staff still share your IP with each other.
>Staff are not reading, being /marked/ is a meme.
>Don't ask for invites, it's private for a reason.
>If starting out you should interview for RED, rank to elite, wait on account age and get invites from there. That's it - that's all you have to do.
>If you want to rank up on RED, spam recent deezer shit with deemix/smloadr. To cheat the interview, download the interview prep site or take screenshots.

Does /g/ have a personal webpage?

I get into an extremely good flow state working on something, then it's over / have to do some different task and I lose all motivation to get deep into it. I know once I get very deep into something I hate to be pulled out of it and that's why I rarely get into this comfy flow state and why I despise context switching.
Any anons found a way to curb this issue?
