My story / lesson....

[deathking81]

Some of you may know I got an FTN invite from a giveaway on FST. Well, I was in the FTN channel and i was talking to a user, and we were talking about the movie Fight Club. I told him to talk to me in a different IRC channel because i was more active on that one. We became good friends, and he told me he was sharing his FTN account with a friend, and after he buffered it his friend changed the details on him, and he had a seedbox and 12 hours before i told him he could buffer my account. We were friends, and he buffered 50gb of my account, and it worked for 3 days more till it got disabled. FTN got hacked and i couldnt go on IRC, then I finally got on IRC and talked to a mod. The 50gb buffer was cheated, there were many hit and runs on my account, and the account was shared which was a big offense. I luckily got my FTN account back but this is a lesson that I have learned and hopefully if anyone will actually read what I typed, it will help them, NEVER SHARE YOUR ACCOUNT!

if you do want to share your account, do that with your friends in your life, not on the internet

It's good to hear you got your account back and I think you were pretty lucky there . Thanks for sharing your experience, hopefully it will remind others out there to be more cautious about these things.

Glad you recovered your account and glad you learned the lesson.
As I´ve said before, it´s always bad to cheat or whatever, but doing it to F*N is double crime.

That's a lesson, a good one with a good final which is nice but not everyone can have this luck so try to follow his advice to avoid this situations.

Thanks for sharing your story

now go seed all your H n' R torrents

i agree with da squirr3l.... that will save your butt in that department.... at least

I wouldn't share any of my accounts, ever. I have very few RL friends in the torrent world, but the ones I do have I trust highly. That is why I invite them when I am able. If invites aren't available, too bad for them, I can still dl stuff for them.

Why even bother with a buffer on a site with no ratio anyway? Were you just trying to up your user status or what? I don't understand....

I am very glad you got you account back, and hope you will show it the respect it deserves.

Things like that always happen.
But don't get me wrong, friends threw the net can be great, some of them you can really trust and others.. well...
