False Front Tracker Logins

[gamesover]

ps: I've always secretly hoped that pro267 resembles his avatar IRL. That is one crazed bad-ass and pro267 is the only convincing forum-rager I know that can base arguments on pure spite

Thanks, mate, I consider that a compliment

In other news, that's weird Al in my avatoir. I find it strange most don't recognize him.

I recognized him right away, then again I've also seen UHF at least 3 or 4 times. I'm a bit of a closeted Weird Al fan LOL.

The only tracker with a login system that I like would happen to be CN.

Every user has their own unique login URL, which is something that you don't see on every other tracker.

A very humorous thread.

Pro267, is it because of server stress relief then? A viable news outlet (reference)? I honestly can't think of any decision-making reason that could lead a staff-team to have a fake page instead of the lack of one. A lot of successful trackers skip this, and a lot of new trackers tout having one as a bonus for user security. If there's something incredibly obvious and necessary for having such a page, by all means shoot me a pm calling me an idiot and telling me why and what it is. But until then, I apologize, but I'm hardly convinced that these things exist for any logical reason.

for a start

*#$% --> FTN

EDIT : I will remove that.

[anon]

for a start

feedthe.net --> FTN

I really don't know what you want to achieve by posting that.

[zonked]

my point is they can as well keep only the IP and not have any name in first place.

ps. many top torrent sites do that.

So far, I can ONLY see it helps, if one Google's a search, for the Tracker, and that person, NOT a member, Does NOT know the "Right" keyword or password to to feed it in the Fake Page, to cause a Redirection to the Actual Login page of the Tracker

So for the sake of argument,why only a handful of Trackers are employing it, if it really "Helps" in any way........I wonder?

that may help those trackers to get to some higher 'level' (specially for the new ones), making hype, etc etc.

[DeadPoet]

You do realize that getting higher level is the last thing tracker staff would like to get?
It's useless for them and only brings unnecessary attention from traders/collectors...
