Yeah because we all know how much the scene can be trusted especially as concerns bt.
Again I hate to harp on the fact but you can,you know, still find thousands of people that will merrily tell you that the Holocaust never happened .
Proof please .Until then just another nasty internet rumour.
Respect my lack of authority.
Finish Him! Anyways here's Slevin's note regarding this imaginative thread via BTRACS forum:
guess anyone is entitled to their opinions.
regarding BTRACS security, all you "old guys" already know this, BTRACS always did and always will do everything to protect its members.
i assure you passwords are encrypted and no one has access to them, or any other members related information for that matter.
the author is probably someone with a grudge and is trying to make us look bad.
remember, you choose your password. it is secure, protected and no one knows it except you!

Slevin again proves he is a liar.
If u dont believe me, try for urself:
go to forgot password, and ask it to be emailed back to you. guess what then, u get the password u were using. when this happens it mean passwords are not encrypted on DB, because if they were, the system mails u a new one as he cant read the one stored on the db.
it's very easy to check for urself if he is a liar.
really be careful.
That would simply mean that MD5 encryption wasn't enabled in this vBulletin but it still could be hashed right and not visible inside the database. Anyways i'm more interested in seeing how long one could last at a regular white collar job without ever capitalizing a single letter.
It is pretty common for these shady invite/trading/selling forum sites to not encrypt passwords in their databases, which is why you'd have to be a retard to use the same password on multiple places, assuming you were retarded enough to register on them in the first place.
Besides staff abusing this, you also need to be worried about someone finding an exploit in the site and getting a hold of the DB with all of the users passwords, which happens more often then you'd think for shitty, hastily thrown together forums run by people who nothing about setting up a web server.
Not to mention, if you think the staff on these forums wouldn't give you up in an instant to save their own asses, please pass over this way whatever you are smoking.

chrisbeebops, i think you got BTRACS mistaken for one of those shady torrentinvite auction type forums. BTRACS is essentially a junior version of FST with the majority of the site dedicated to file sharing and BitTorrent discussions. Like FST it has a Trade, Request and Giveaway section and the majority of members do not trade/sell invites. It's usually the younger cats who are eager to jump into that trading game and some quickly get burned or disabled and learn their lesson. There are also rare occasions when thieves and scammers do get publicly reported and the same thing would happen here. I could pass you what i'm smoking but i guarantee you may enjoy it.
