We Are iCookie - We Are An iCo-unity

iCookie {abbreviation: iCo} is nothing more than a group of dedicated, trusted and respected folk who have grown a love of all things community and bit-torrent related, who want to bring a bit of <3 and fun back in to an often intimidating scene.

From our personal experiences in the torrent'ng world, we have met some truly incredible individuals who have spent their precious time to enlighten us and others in many different areas of the BT & IT World. This has been both exciting and inspirational to see the power of the internet used in the fashion it was designed for, to set information free and to communicate our individual wealth of knowledge with our fellow cyber travellers, and to share and build on this for the collective greater good, as well as provide a platform to share our varying collections of digital media.

We hope that the spirit of community and communication will run free and that iCookie will not be pigeon-holed as just 'another invite and discussion forum', instead becoming apparent after the briefest of glimpses that we are aiming to be a little bit more. We hope to be an ever-growing and ever-open community of like minded individuals who endorse the same common interests related to the sharing is caring attitude, but can also share expertise on a wider range of subjects and niche areas that traverse the IT plain and beyond to any given area.

Although our desire is to to be an open-learning and hopefully influential bit-torrent related community, we also keep things simple here at iCookie and see no need in overcomplicating things with unnecessary complex promotion and statistical based structures for a hierarchical purpose. You simply contribute to iCookie with time, posts, and constructive contribution, and you shall be rewarded for your efforts.

Most of us started out as nothing more than inquisitive onlookers, slightly overwhelmed by the wealth of new information and the steep learning curve that was to follow. We soon realised thought that the bit-torrent'ng world is much more than just a file sharing community, it is a powerful learning environment that spans well outside the realm of any protocol and means to acquire desired content. Whether you are here solely to meet your own ends in your climb up the private bit-torrent'ng ladder, or you are looking to learn along the way, we want you to contribute to this community, and in return we hope to provide the platform for you guys to take what you want and need from iCookie, and build a trusted and respected community in the process

To add, labels and status outside of iCookie mean nothing here. We do not and will not get involved in other sites politics, but we are happy to bring them up for public discussion if members feel that it is relevant and necessary. Experienced or not, we welcome all who want to contribute to iCookie with constructive input and posts, and will reward those individuals with even tastier cookies.

iCookie, an iCo-unity.

TheFuzz owner of iCookie explain about posting:

We would like to add that we are keeping things simple at iCookie in that we wont be be implementing complicated promotion systems and instead sticking with a tried and tested method of posts + time = promotion. We are a non-spam forum, who demand constructive posts and threads, and 10 character posts wont wash here. We have implemented a minimal level of input that can be considered a post to assure this wont be an issue.
