Tracker politics bullshit. Sucks, but its part of what we do.
It's what destroyed the spirit there was behind this protocol when it first appeared.Quote:

The site is closing for other reasons. There should be an announcement made on the site sometime soon for everyone.
Stupidity abounds. Drawing and quartering comes immediately to mind. This is the internet, after all... where people start to believe that they truly are, what they pretend to be.
Sorry to hear of the fiasco. But, I'm sure we'll see y'all in the usual hangouts. ;)
The site is closing primarily for other reasons, but this debacle certainly sped things up. Serb was a Mod, then an Admin on TiT, was also a Mod on GFT. He disappeared some weeks back, probably due to him wedging himself in deep with sceners. Honestly, it made our jobs on TiT a fair bit easier, but it didn't stop the PM's and bragging about "I did this" or I caused that" which thoroughly disgusted both of us.Quote:

I'm sure Serb will find this thread, as he will find others, and if he pre's on us, then so be it. We've got some scruples, he apparently doesn't. The sad thing is, he doesn't see that he's wrong to do what he's doing.
I'll raise this one more level, and see if I can shock FST with the statement. Assuming you aren't already aware, that is.
Serb once told me that he had access to either a current or former FST staffer's account, and that's where at least some of his info was coming from. I don't know whose account, so I can't help you there, but there you go, and access was willingly given to him, so he says.
Anyway, all that aside, I expected some flaming when I was pointed to this thread. I'm pleasantly surprised to see some level heads prevailing, and appreciate the good sentiment, even if we won't agree on all things bittorrent. It's nice to know that we can earn respect for being decent human beings once in a while.
Cheers.

Oh it's here too...
I would love to say a big 'Thank you' to Blast and Mood cause they do right things from my view point. Looks like it's another example when ego wins commons sens and moral norms. I remember Serb made some good things for me, I wasn't a witness of that pre...so I don't know any details around this...but IMHO there are no any reasons in BT world (and in the whole real world as well) to made such things.
privacy...
Good luck to all guys who become much more public, good luck to TiT...:(
