My only reservation was that it'll take a really long time (several terabytes on traditional HDDs) but perhaps that is the way to go.
They might be flexible with that requirement. People who aren't already on two PTs should use the text box to explain their situation and get creative with their screenshots - for example, show stats in your torrent client proving you continue to seed your downloads. Make a good faith effort and they might look past your lack of other PTs. Good luck.
S'all good, reach out if you have any questions!
I see an application requiring screenshots indicating proof of membership in other private trackers
Yes, that means they are currently open. Note that, as this post's title says, they are Open Application (not to be confused with Open Registration), meaning anyone can apply without an invitation.
If you do not have proofs of membership on other PTs, they might still consider you if you give them reasons to let you in. For example, a screenshot of something that shows you would be a valuable member of the community, such as your torrent client showing long seed times and high ratios. Be sure to make your case in the text box.
Good luck.
OnlyEncodes+ (OE) is open for application again. I'm not on the staff, but I believe they'll stay open until Fri Aug 1 @ 12:01 UTC.
Rules:
- Seed Time: Every downloaded torrent must be seeded for a minimum period of 48 hours within 7 days from the download.
- Inactivity: You must log in once every 60 days or seed at least 1 torrent to keep your account. Once disabled you have another 60 days to login and get your account re-activated. Every disabled account gets deleted after 180 days of inactivity.
- Ratio Requirement: 0.4
- VPNs: Encouraged

Any of the trackers that show up on the open signups forums, e.g., OnlyEncodes+ and FearNoPeer (both Unit3d based).
I experienced this off and on yesterday. The issue seems to have been resolved. Good luck.
Note that many commenters in the original Reddit post are reporting that registration is broken (they do not receive the activation email).
EDIT: Supposedly, the registration issues are resolved.
pay to leech
Just chiming in w/ my own experience: In the six weeks since I joined through open registration, there have been at least two periods of global freeleech. Even outside of those times, almost everything I've searched for has had multiple versions to choose from, and more often than not, at least one of those versions is permanent freeleech.
There are also multiple bonus point giveaways daily. While there are various donation tiers for those who cannot or will not maintain their ratio through seeding or bonus point buys, it's definitely not pay to leech—I started from scratch a month ago and I'm doing fine.
We appreciate it!
This was very informative. I can live w/ RAR files, especially in situations where it's the only version of something I can find, but I didn't understand the why until I read your comment. Thanks for explaining that.

I was afraid of that, but thanks for confirming.
