I haven’t used IPT in about 4 months and went to log back into it today only to find my account has been deactivated. I went onto the IRC and was told that inactive accounts can’t be recovered, which is annoying as the account was years old with a good ratio.

However, onwards an upwards. I am wondering where the best place to get an invite for IPT is? Can anyone point me in the right direction, or throw an invite my way (I can provide ratio screenshots)

    They deactivate accounts more liberally than other sites so that they can charge you $$$ to get back in, that’s their scummy business strategy and why I don’t use that place.

      It’s interesting because I rarely log in to my account, maybe just once per 8months, but my account still active. However my account was created in the early 20xx, so I might passed those window. Nowadays I’ve been there more often after rarbg gone.

    Correct, they regularly deactivate accounts that haven’t been logged into after x days. I don’t remember the exact number of days but it should be in their rules.

    Yes that’s the IPT racket, they expect you to pay them to re-join. Note that even though they won’t re-activate your old account they didn’t say you can’t re-join. One of the many reasons that tracker isn’t considered reputable.

    PS - Your post is breaking rules here, just FYI.
