So I’ve not seen it mentioned before, but if you want to start getting into private trackers, you can check out the private tracker general thread (/ptg/) on the /g/ board of 4chan

4chan is what it is, but there is a lot of good info in just the OP (please read the OP entirely before posting, I beg of you), and that’s how I got into private trackers

PS: you wont get any invite, dont ask for them

        That’s fair, but I firmly believe that if you can make it on RED, you can make it anywhere.

          that’s true, if you are good in RED you can pretty much can get into other big trackers but idk whether people who just learn what private trackers are can just go through RED interviews (and wait at the lobby for weeks). so that’s the reason why i think MAM is a great start.

      I’d say it’s easier to get into OPS, then move on to RED, then get invites from their forums.

        It’s virtually the same irc interview so if you don’t have another means of scoring your invite then the two are nearly even in terms of difficulty to join.

        I thought people still considered OPS to be a joke…?

            They had a very rough start and then a rough go at things for the first year or two. They’re fine now but it was a massive clusterfuck for a while.
