Hotline Communications

[roy]

Does anyone remember that old FTP based program Hotline?

Man, it was great. There were private servers only accessible through this program that contained a news section where members could post, the best part- the files section, chat, private messages, and user accounts. Ah, those were the days

I mean, it's still around but they've really cracked down on the 'illegal' servers since it was warez heaven.

Aye, Hotline was great. I still have it actually. http://www.tracker-tracker.com/hotline was awesome. I was on 56k but I managed to reach admin status on one server by uploading one file and doing a little bit of smooth talking. I'd shaft everyone queued (sp?) and go first, at least until the server admin found out... Those were the days. At least they can't bring down IRC.

Yeah man. The 56K days. I was an admin on InfiniteEdge. He had so much stuff but I was stuck at 4.5K. When I finally got cable he had to shut down his server because his ISP was giving him ************************. Then I tried serving on hotline and I got shutdown in a couple months.
