The Death of TrackeReactor? Closed or Hacked?

August 07, 2009 by sharky

On first glance it would appear that in a surprise move by LiquidizleR - the owner/sysop of TrackeReactor.com - has closed down the popular torrent invites & discussion forum. The decision was a tough & personal one, as he no longer felt able to lead the forum as he should, due to college and lack of time (so the story goes). Even TR’s IRC channel is also currently offline. But this may have been much more than just a simple closure, and many suspect foul play.

Update: TrackeReactor is currently open for signups at this URL: http://trackereactor.com/register.php

Here’s the current quote from TrackeReactor:

Hi guys LiquidizleR here,

 

Time to move unto greener pastures. As you know i have been getting alot of work at college. I feel i am just not giving back enough to the site. As such i have brought the site down for now. I really would like one of you guys to buy it off me as i believe we have a great community here. Again it has been great! Am sorry to go!"

If the closure is indeed genuine, there’s no word yet on whether the TrackeReactor code - or a site backup - will be passed along to someone else willing to set it up on a different domain. Likely the above message is not genuine, but only time will tell.

TR Hacked …again? In an odd twist, there’s mention of Liquid and TrackerReactor on the site http://torrentinvites.com:

Guys somehow or another our domains were taken control of by Douchebag at T-I. We don’t know how they stole our domains but they changed the DNS to their servers and put up some bogus message. I’m not selling TR so don’t worry about that. The site should be alright but just in case you guys might want to change your passwords when we get the site back up and running. Other than that I’d like to thank staff for helping me out with this shit. Btw this is the real liquid…"

To further complicate (or clarify) issues, a prominent member of TR posted a message at FST suggesting that the domain was indeed hacked:

"The Domains Were hacked and stolen, And that message [at TR] was wrote by the hacker. TR is not selling out. We have been up all night regaining control in which we have again, and we are clean sweeping the database and will be back up soon…"

We’ll update this post as more news comes in.
