Everything to know about
nostream
My original post was removed for being supposedly hearsay, so I am resubmitting it in a more palatable form. I have removed several accusations which I cannot verify except by "hearsay" from reputable sources.
Nostream (nostream.co) is an upcoming tracker which is surrounded by controversy.
Staff
Sarek
• lead developer, designed the CSS and logo
• Left dev #vardev channel open for anyone to look at.
• Had a google survey passed around for potential developers. Many have refused in concern of their own security including myself. The survey asked for potentially identifying information such as a git portfolio.
• Copied the layout of WCD on the nostream homepage and forgot to scrub references from What.CD to nostream. I saved the html/css. Here's a screenshot of one of these references appearing

• Abandoned by several potential devs (who I will leave anonymous) who felt like their security concerns were not taken seriously.
AzzA
• Founded BTN
• Booted out of BTN for allegedly stealing donations.
His response
I'm still not sure why the hostile take over happened. I was told it's because i wasn't a very good manager and i jumpde the gun alot not thinking things through.
To be fair, i was only 18 and didn't have much experience managing things. That's why i got other SysOps on board, but they just back stabbed me. I managed everything else pretty well. One day while i was AFK, the upper staff just changed the passwords to everything to lock me out. I never stole donations, i did however move them to an alternative paypal account so i could close my one down.
• Wants to take on an advisory role.
• Doesn't believe server location matters - caused a big argument in IRC between other devs.
