BTracs hacking accounts of trackers

[ca_aok]

Despite what you see on FST these days, you should be aware that plenty of traders are cordial and intelligent. The smart ones don't get caught as often, so they're more rarely seen.

I was actually implying he was probably staff there, but I could see the other side of the argument too.

You apparently don't realize who silly that sounds.

You apparently don`t realize you need to get a life.

One of the most ironic things I've read here

You apparently don't know him, so telling him to get a life makes you look rather stupid, true story.

Yeah I'm like in prison for doing horrible ,horrible things to strangers that insulted me on the internet so that statement was both surprisingly insightful and cuttingly cruel but also strangely motivating.

But this is not possible practically at all for any user.. Am I wrong??

It's not difficult even without a program or written list. For each password you could even have a standard password followed by a suffix which is relevant to the site. for example say you use demonoid and fst. Your standard password could be "toor" and your suffix's be sft and dem, so each pass would be toorfst and toordem.

The problem with that approach is that if a single password of yours is compromised, the rest are too. Unless you make the suffix something unrelated to the sites but still somehow memorable, in which case you might as well just use separate passwords for each site.

I'm just trying to give an example.

Ultimately it is a mildly safer middle ground than using a single password and a nice alternative to using a program, although personally that it what I would use if you want to be as safe as possible.

Funny as those threads were only closed after this thread started.

Funny as those threads were only locked, but since the sales take place via PM anyway so long as the threads exist with the offers and prices users can still make their same transactions.

i just signed up there; i hope my bittorrent tracker accounts don't mysteriously get disabled or else i might have to create a thread here to complain about it

Ok. Even though this is my first post here, I've been reading FST articles for a long time now. But this thread. I just had to reply to. I can see that most of you are so full of "it". Face it.We are all pirates. The moment we got that tag, we're already a citizen in the scum world. What are those btracs guys doing that we as pirates are not? Face it, we started the whole shit just to get stuff for free. So why should there be any restrictions to who does what? I've been a member of btracs till a few months ago. And I know most of the members and staff there. Every single guy on the staff is as good as any of you guys. And as far as security goes, well, my account never got broken into. And as chrisbeebops said about the Black Hallways or whatever it is called now, it was not meant to be a secret place for more trading. It was a place meant for the good users of btracs to stay safe from scammers and even scummier people. And I can without any shame say that I was banned at btracs just for being friends with a scammer,even though I miss going back here, I'm not worried coz, they banned me thinking that I might cause a problem to the other members of btracs, just coz I was friends with a scammer. This is how much they care about their members. But of course if you start viewing that forum through the eyes of prejudice, you'll never get my point.

Through the eyes of prejudice?! Try being lectured by their more idiotic members on how "powerful" they are, try seeing how many of their members (no wait, read up in this thread) think that having "high level trackers" necessitates them also receiving respect, and try watching a bunch of them argue day and night about how it's a solid community for the love of bt (for the love of crying out loud), then all of them proceed to quit or hide underground in order to continue trading/selling. Do you honestly hold a modicum of respect for a torrent that finds value in members that start "The elite traders club"?

I've always given everything (and hopefully everyone, although, I can obviously never recall exceptions) a chance at earning my respect/time. BTRacs threw that out of the window, with other members chrisbeebops and clearly yourself having far worse experiences with them that I can imagine.

Riddle me this: For a forum full of good people, they surely didn't seem too venerable or patient when dealing with your case. So much for a community of level-headed individuals, huh? They wouldn't need to be weary of people cheating them, while they cheat the torrenting community at large, while we cheat society, if they didn't start a hive (swarm reference) full of douchebag cheaters in the bloody first place.

Let me put it into proper perspective for you: This is a crooked rotten world, where people name drop their own selves in third person while demanding power, where you're more likely to hear "do you know who I am", rather than "please", and where thieves figure out that they have the chance of stealing from other thieves (as is happening with btracs/traders/this thread). Sure, we're all pirates. However, if by the eyes of society we're scum, as you say, then, by virtue of hierarchy, what should we call the scum of our social denomination?
