This might be what you're after! https://jme-reunit3d.de/application

I think CartoonChaos invites are restricted to certain ranks. I'll keep an eye out.

Edit: This is what the invite section looks like. Clicking on "New Invite" doesn't do anything.
I have confirmed that the rest of the site's users are pretty in the dark about the invite function.

 

I adore ReelFliX. They might be small, but the admins put a ton of effort in. LEGi0N's releases are top-notch (and great for cross-seeding), and their 3D library of SBS encodes is the cream of the crop. 
The shoutbox always has something going on, thanks to an enthusiastic bot. Sometimes this has the side effect of drowning out messages from real members, but it's honestly better that way than to see a very dead shoutbox that doesn't move at all.
Reseed requests are promptly and kindly attended to. They have a Discord server, where you can keep tabs on upcoming releases and drop in for a friendly chat with the team. 
I would love to see this tracker flourish. I got into ratio trouble in the first few days and was graciously helped - I managed to repay the favour back to the community by uploading 2TB during holiday freeleech.
New members are not left to struggle alone and figure things out for themselves. It's a warm, supportive community.

What a cosy little community this is, and one that knows their material well. Collectors will delight in the 35mm scans of films, restored/uncensored versions of movies, and unaired pilot episodes.
The token system is quite generous and more than enough to get you up and running with a good chance at building and keeping a healthy ratio. 
The collage system is fascinating and enables a fantastic showcase of certain themes, genres, studios and eras. 
Definitely worth getting your foot in the door with this one. 

It's worth noting that this tracker has special rules for seedboxes - freeleech doesn't count. So, cross-seeding is a very valuable skill to have if trying to build ratio.
M-Team is built on NexusPHP, and their English translation is not entirely complete - you will still see patches of Chinese here and there. It's a good idea to have Google Translate bookmarked.
Users regularly upload the day's news broadcasts from various channels. 
The wiki can be accessed without signing up, so it's a good place to familiarise yourself with the rules first. Of particular interest is this graph.
 

M-Team 3D doesn't seem to be as active as I thought they would be. For 3D content, you might be better off going to ReelFliX or 3Dtorrents.

Ahoy there, mateys. Aren't the holidays wonderful? Open registrations and global freeleech galore! Perfect for building up ratio.
I took advantage of holiday sales to pick up a few new drives, but I knew they wouldn't arrive for a few more weeks, when global freeleech would have ended. 
So, I thought... What the hell, these are extenuating circumstances, I'll shell out for a seedbox. So I grabbed a Sidekick Pro from seedit4.me, having eyed off their pretty website earlier.
What a blast!! These are my top 5 seeded torrents. 

 

Australian internet is totally puny, so downloading things was lightning fast and I've already uploaded more in just a week than I'd managed to in months at home. It is unbelievably amazing.
I quickly ran out of space and ponied up the extra cash for another terabyte, which was also swiftly gobbled up. 
Payment was easy and things moved very quickly. 

Here's what the dashboard looks like: 


 

All of the -arr apps are there that you always hear people talk about, plus a smorgasbord of media viewers, alternative torrent clients, and nifty tools. Rutorrent is there by default, but I'm a qbittorrent gal, so that's what I went with. 

Clearly things heated up a bit, because I ended up enjoying myself so much that I bit the bullet and picked up an extra box - the Ace plan, with all the bells and whistles. I cannot recommend this highly enough. 
A word of warning, though! Check the rules of your private tracker before you go too nuts!
In my case, I'd just gotten into somewhere new where I found out too late that freeleech torrents didn't count as freeleech if downloaded through a seedbox. 
Before I knew it, I'd gone from 2GB downloaded to 100GB downloaded... and my ratio plummeted to 0.05. 
According to the rules of the site, I had five days to fix my trash ratio, and here's where the fun began.

 

Here's how cross-seeding works. You have a site that has freeleech (or a good buffer), and a site that doesn't.
You look for torrents that are exactly the same on both sites, download from the one that's free, download the .torrent file from the one that isn't, and point it at the content you've already downloaded from elsewhere.
The site now registers that you have a complete copy of the torrent which others can now download from. 
In the above screenshot, red was freeleech, blue was the site I needed urgently to fix my ratio on, but I only had one copy of the listed movies. Aha.
I found tags and categories to be an absolute lifesaver when trying to organise such a massive array of content. 
Creating a category for each private tracker, and tags based on the download status of the torrent, helped me keep track of what needed action and what didn't.

It was around this time that I realised I was running out of space again... and decided to palm off my less-demanding torrents to a third seedbox, which I redeemed from the Member's Shop for an easy 30k points. 
 
 

RapidSeedbox's UI is nowhere near as polished and snazzy as seedit4me, but it does the job. 

 
Qbittorrent's web interface was a little more locked down on this seedbox than on Seedit4me's equivalent tier. On Seedit4me, you can see how much space is left on your box in qbittorrent's status bar, down the bottom.
It's a little extra work to keep an eye on it on RapidSeedbox. I also noticed that my torrents were queued, instead of all going at once - this is probably fine since very few of them are active at a time anyway.
I was also unable to access qbittorrent's settings. Probably just a side effect of being on the basic plan. 

 

With my 6TB seedbox nearly constantly full, I had to figure out what to do. I used FlashFXP to transfer files from one box to another via FTP, getting speeds of around 60Mb/s. 
I also figured out that I could use multiple instances of Filezilla and increase the simultaneous download slots to 10 to slowly drain the files off the seedboxes onto my hard drives at home.
Unfortunately, I pulled out my ethernet cable without thinking about it when moving to a comfier location in the house... and all my transfers failed. 
So I'll have to figure something out. 

I did eventually end up fixing my trash ratio in the nick of time, and I'm delighted to have been able to seed back to the community so much along the way. 
All the seedboxes did exactly what I was hoping - provided a quick spot of refuge for files I didn't have room for while I waited for my drives to arrive. 
At nearly $100 a month AUD, there's no way that seedit4me's best box is sustainable for me long-term - but as a once-off, I'd say it's been absolutely worth the price.
If I hadn't had such a need to guzzle content, I'm sure I would have been just fine with just the Sidekick Pro and the Swift box - but it's been a real treat to be able to enjoy the blazing-fast speeds of Ace.

Where to from now? Waiting patiently for my internet to be upgraded, before I try FTP again to get all my files off. 
The last thing I'll note is that creating torrents was disabled from all three instances of the qbittorrent web UI. I did note a torrent creator tool existed, but it would have been nice to do it the familiar way. 

If you haven't bought a seedbox yet, I hope this overview helped give you an idea of what to expect!
Thanks for reading all the way to the end. I'll catch you round.

DanishBytes is now freeleech! 
 

Thank you, Achelous. This is not to advertise per se, but to let people know that a community exists. So I won't be dropping any links - just providing leads. 

The tasmanit.es server is not official/I am not the owner, but the staff don't seem to think an official one is necessary - so it's informal. Currently, 6 members.

OldToons and LegacyHD/ReelFliX have Discord servers. I've also created a server for tasmanit.es. PM if interested.

ReelFliX is now freeleech!

Go go go!

OldToons.world is also still freeleech:

Hi there! 

I'm petalmuncher. I'm here because I'm collecting as much multi-language content as possible, with a focus on 3D movies and animation of all kinds. 
I enjoy sci-fi and dislike live-action remakes.

I live on a hill in a harbour town and I get to watch cruise ships come and go, and sometimes there are dolphins, seals, whales etc in the water which are fun to see with binoculars.

I have three big beautiful bookcases - my favourite sets of books include my Terry Pratchett and Gunnerkrigg Court hardcovers.

I'm waiting for my next hard drive to come in the post. It's going to go in a server that my housemate found in his bedroom!

Here is my cat: 

Welcome to InviteHawk! Feel free to say hi in PMs if you like!

Heya folks.

I'm part of a community with a specific interest in a unique file format for video playback.
We were considering a Direct Download website, but I'm wondering if it might be more feasible to set up a private tracker for our content instead.
There would be three main categories: source files (as high quality as possible for home viewing), converted videos, and ready-to-install content including collections/volumes/packs.
I like the look of the UNIT3D framework as seen on ReelFLiX and Lat-Team.
I've seen the way oldtoons.world has exploded and I'm reasonably confident this would be a good move for our community.

Which tracker is this for?

Welcome to InviteHawk! Feel free to shoot me a PM if you'd like to chat. This place is worth sticking around

This is a chat log, so it reads bottom to top.

OldToons.world definitely deserves to be added to the cartoons section. It's fantastic.

I also joined this tracker during my "rocky period" of moving files around and not being able to seed properly as a result. Because of that, I ended up with 2 Hit & Run warnings.

Fortunately, these were able to be cleared without issue and DCC is safely and happily in my bookmarks folder of "Places to look for content when I can't find it in the usual haunts".

The website is rather pretty. 

I had to speedrun my prerequisite 10 forum posts to be able to come here and say this. Get in quick!!
Oldtoons.world is fantastic. It's exploded since it launched and I reckon it's got some real staying power.
The community rocks. The content is awesome. The bonus points are flowing thick and fast. 
The website is pretty ugly, but it's endearingly so. The framework has been poorly translated from Chinese, which makes for an entertaining experience.
I cannot recommend this enough as a cartoon enthusiast. Go go go go go!!

I redeemed my free TL invite from InviteHawk, but unfortunately it was a bit of poor timing on my part. As I was in the middle of reorganising my files, some things didn't get seeded for a while and I was booted out due to low ratio. 

While banned for low ratio, you can't seed torrents you already downloaded, so there's not much you can do to get back in unless you pay for VIP. 

Last I checked, they had a promotion on where you could buy a month of a VPN and were rewarded with a month of VIP, or something similar. This was cheaper than buying their cheapest VIP plan. 

I was able to find this out by sending a mail to their support email address. They were quick to respond, and cordial.

I have not gotten around to purchasing VIP, so my account remains banned.

Wow, that's unfortunate. I'd heard decent things about them. I guess this narrows it down to seedit4.me!

Well, I was going to sympathise with him, but if you're making people pay then you're not much better off than the companies themselves.
