The Secrets of a Running A BitTorrent Tracker

[anon]

Most site admins go about their business in secret, which makes it difficult for enthusiastic outsiders to make the leap from user to site owner, since they can’t get the benefit of the accrued knowledge of others. Now that has changed with TorrentFries - a unique website demystifying the running of a tracker.

LOL. I always thought about opening some torrent site of my own; informing everyone here about my new site and all; and get super popular as a result of it.

LOL. The place would be chock-full of cheaters, like you guys {and me}and not to forget mentioning all the ratio dead-beats. .....not a good idea after all.

LOL. :klatsch_3::tongue:

tracker.sb-innovation.de? :biggrin:
We're already regarded as "the true autority in cheating", so my guess is that if we opened a tracker we'd just need to sit down and relax as someone finds out and the news spread. :cool2:

Hey, at least we'd be right when saying things like "we know cheating, we're familiar with cheating, we know the patterns, etc... you WILL get caught and you WILL get banned!, etc." because, unlike at some trackers, this is the absolute truth. :cool2:

I LMAOF so hard after reading that. That would totally be true.


How did you do that 'spoiler LOL'

...no idea how that was done. It was an interesting surprise.

Glad my post made you laugh :top:

The code for the LOL smiley is

:5585:
Write it in your post. Highlight it and click the "SPOILER tag" icon in the toolbar (inmediately to the left of the YouTube logo). You'll be asked for "the parameters for the spoiler tag". That's where you enter the text in italics that's next to "Spoiler:" (I entered an ellipsis). If you don't want anything to appear there, just type a blank space ( ) and press OK.

You now have a "spoiler LOL". :tongue:

Of course you can enter anything instead of the smiley, and it'll appear in the same way after someone clicks the "show spoiler" button. :wink:

It's fun to pass messages this way :smile:

This is the code of the spoiler.

[*spoiler="name of the spoiler"]spoilered content[/spoiler]
(Without the *)

e// anon was faster :biggrin:

spoilered content

It still shows up in vBSpy as normal text :cool2:

Yes, that's volitional.
There you should write the content you want to spoiler, therefore I named it "spoilered content". :tongue:

Or did I get you wrong? :biggrin:

[anon]

Maybe :biggrin:
Have a look at this:

"spoilered content" is of course what you've put between SPOILER tags in your post. But it showed up as normal, untagged text in vBSpy (anything between []'s also doesn't appear), so if it had been a real, serious spoiler, I'd have seen it without even making what vBulletin calls "a conscious effort to click the 'show' button and see the text that has clearly been flagged as a spoiler" :tongue:

Looks like vBSpy doesn't "convert" tags.

I think content between [ ... ] doesn't show up, and like you see, smilies are also displayed as "code".

But enough OT here, we have to abuse the E+ area to test such things. :biggrin:

That's right :top:
For example, those ellipsis you've placed between square brackets also didn't show up... but it must be a vBulletin "feature", because if you put text between []'s in posts, they also don't count towards the 10-char limit - try to post something like [aaaaaaaaaa] alone and you will see :tongue:

You're right with that :smile:
