Choice of torrents for freeleech
-
Hi moderators and Merry Christmas eve,
I wanted to ask how the torrents for freeleech are selected? I check in on a daily basis to GTRU since it contains such an eclectic and wonderful variety of torrents, but I'm always rather disheartened at the lack of selection in freeleech. They almost always cluster around a set of similar videos for the day. It's either all twinks, all extreme, all chubs, all wrestling, all twinks, all asian, etc. For example, the most recent set of freeleech from today are ALL chubs + pissing. If you go to the Search page and filter by Freeleech, you'll see that there's an extreme overweight to old chubs.
I think of Freeleech as serving two potential purposes:
1. Rewarding users - The first is to give members the ability to freeleech popular and well-liked torrents so they can add to their collection without hurting their ratio. I think of it as a 'bonus' on top of my normal selection of torrents, when I can download something extra that I may not normally have downloaded but it's still interesting and worthwhile.
1. Encouragement of variety - The second is to encourage a variety of eclectic or historic choices, and I think that's part of the strength of GTRU where I've seen videos and files that I've never seen before on other gay torrent sites. But part of that variety should still encompass mainstream torrents with vanilla tastes. I never see mainstream and popular videos like Sean Cody, Next Door Studios, Bel Ami, or Corbin Fisher.Thanks for the consideration and discussion.

They're selected on somewhat of a random basis. Usually, the ones that get selected are ones that are dying and are trying to be revived, or ones that are selected to attempt to help a user increase their ratio. There's no real rhyme or reason to it, other than trying to revive the torrents in question.
