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

I never heard of BTRACS until now. My guess is people just using the same password for everything

Oh, what are you doing here by posting such a short line?? Collecting 20 valuable posts? :-P
 
I remember that a guy here his name was Toti994 he made an topic saied ( BTRACS STAFF is SCAMMERS ) I remeber this topic very good when btracs staff scammed this guy and stoled all his accounts and he was warnning member here from dealing with them but staff deleted his topic and after thatn he banned from here, from this day I stopped all my trade in BTRACS .
and now all know that Btracs is really scammeres
 
Might as well just admit you're one of them blurayripper, it seems pretty clear to the rest of us :lol:

Anyway, enjoy feeling safe at your den of scum.
 
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.

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!

I totally believe him.
Anyone that is too stupid to use capitalization obviously couldn't come up with a complicated scheme like that.
 
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.

You make it sound like his disabling - he was never banned - was somehow linked to his Btracs allegations.
Actually he was disabled for selling invites so in his case sort of kettle/black.:mellow:

Btw not saying they(BTracs staff) aren't shady but how is it that Hombre ( or anyone else) creating just another similar thread with again zero solid evidence offered ...."proof "?
 
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
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
The guy 'Slevin' that runs BTRACS is part of the scheme. He's part of most of the top trackers and will narc on you. The guy is a real scumbag as with most ops on their forums. I would avoid BTRACS at all cost. They will scam your accounts then report you to other trackers for the all mighty global ban list. I'm sharing this info from the scene. I've seen Slevin actions towards others that stand in BTRACS way. He's a two-faced torrent user that can't be trusted. I wouldn't be surprised if he's working for a film studio collecting IPs.
 
ca_aok from your two insightful posts it's clear where you stand and i'm ok with it. To me there is the good, there is the bad and the people in the middle just need some faith and direction. Is there some scum in that forum yes for sure and are there good non-trading pirates yes there are. There are also people on the fence who are just learning the game and are unsure what side to choose. But to label everyone the same there is irresponsible. I'm a just a member who enjoys helping people and the members and mods in there helped me out when i needed them just like they do here when i ask for it. I do find it humorous and tedious that i'm the last and only Mohican standing up for them against the hacking claims on this thread. The rest is just conversation and were just sharing our personal experiences regarding BTRACS.

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.

Uh... no.

BTRACS closed user registration, created a no movement list, and set their trading and selling section so it could be viewed by registered users only in order to make it look like they've cleaned up their act. Nothing has changed, they've just changed their appearance in order to draw attention away from themselves. The no movement list isn't enforced, and it is currently impossible for sites to add themselves to the list, as you must PM a mod on BTRACS in order to add yourself, but cannot do so if you cannot register on the site. Not to mention that most of the regulars have migrated to another hidden trading/selling section called Black Hallways or similar.

I've seen the things BTRACS mods have done, anything from banning tracker staff accounts when they identify themselves as tracker staff to scamming their own users of their accounts and then selling the accounts to pay for the server bills.

There are some torrent forums which are mainly designed for discussion, with a smaller trading section. BTRACS most definitely does not fit that description.
