I'm using adblocker but the site's display is shite now. I guess they changed something on it to mess with adblocks filters.

No you don't. Most people have 20+ sites they use on the internet, and that's way too many usernames and passwords to remember.
In the past they used to recommend that everybody creates a different username/password for each site, but that's just not possible, and that's why people have code stuff like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID
For Windows: http://www.roboform.com/
For Mac: http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password
both of those will generate and remember and backup all of your passwords. so, its not impossible, in fact its very easy to do. I do not have 2 sites that use the same password, and all passwords are 17 characters long and a combo or alphanumeric and symbols.
I use the same username on every site but a different password on every site. I keep the passwords in a text file, password protected inside a rar file for when I need to look a password up.
You're a fool if you use the same username and password on every site you use.
k, i will tell u the truth.
TL is going to close , and they want to gather as much $$ as they can before closing it
just kidding :p
+1 , why all trackers most have small commuty be hard to get so ppl to appreciate them ,why a tracker cannot not have 150000 users and still be appreciated at his true value tl is a great tracker white good speed , pretime and content So that is the problem if hi if are so many users or if staff wants to take some money
id have to agree, selling out, makes me sad...the forums are dead, all those users and no community!
Ditto. 1 text file, inside 1 password protected rar. Keep that rar in an email box and on a flashy and you're set!
Not hard...
Anyone who gets 'hacked' for having the same user/pass or even similar username/pass on multiple sites deserves to loose their accounts, sorry.
lol what r u talking about, selling out?
they are money making machines which is their main interest, do you know how much the admin profits a month? you would be shocked...
since when has TL been about community? lol
look all this doesnt prevent it from possibly being the best tracker out there but make no mistake, maybe they started out once with different interests but i can assure you that today surely are not a community tracker
^^LOL finally someone who isn't blinded by all the bullshit that gets thrown around. In the end it's always about motha****** money
OLD news TL is a money making machine but it is one of many, a lot of trackers with wait times do so to gain money. On one tracker they don't like it if you only seed to just over 1 with a tracker as this means that more people can seed to 1 and keep out of wait times when if you seed more they have wait times and then are likely to donate to get rid of them creating the site more money for the admins.
Most trackers are an online business. If people want to pay, then they pay.
It's not as if TL is forcing people to give them money. If their ethics bother you, there are PLENTY of other general trackers. :)
Was TL ever a non-profit organization that existed solely on providing a warm fuzzy feeling for all of its members? No.
Everyone gotta pay bills. Why should TL be any different than the average joe? I for one won't bust their balls for this.
When I see those huge announcements, I just delete and keep enjoying the tracker. They're gonna have to do a lot more than what they're doing to turn me off.
i just registered their poker tourney. wish me luck.
its worth a fair bit... ..http://www.websiteoutlook.com/www.torrentleech.org
as long this donations and money keep that site alive who cares?
TL is not about paying bills, its about netting a few hundred K a year.
is there something wrong with that? no
but do not confuse the two.
They can go a little over board with the money requesting, but they still have TONS of great content, good speeds, and its easy as hell to seed back on.
Hey, they know that lots of torrent users have big e-penises so they made VIP leech.
And when there's VIP leeching the buffer for them gets even higher, so it's a win-win situation to both the e-penis and the VIP leechers.
I know a guy who did this, there is nothing underhanded about it.
They make money from a referral, my budy got vip, and it didn't cost him any money.
No big deal imo.
Yeah, they run promotions, but at least I'm not geting a pm every 2 days asking for donations a la bitsoup.
