MySpleen

About
MySpleen (MS) is a tracker dedicated to comedy material, with particular focus on Adult Swim, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, and any content that is not available for purchase anywhere.

There are few private trackers still running that are as old as MySpleen. It is run off of donations, that are usually only accepted on a yearly basis.

No ratio requirements as well as having no inactivity rules make it very easy to maintain membership on the website however has also lead to a lack of seeders relative to the overall user base.

MySpleen is unique in that their forums are open to the public, anyone can register for them without needing an account at MySpleen. This makes the forums filled with a lot of "junk" posts and not a good place for community participation.
