A FTP like any other server can obviously be very secure, or very insecure. Sigh, even your link explains Secure FTP protocols. Like i said, they use FTP/FXP which is NOT P2P, Torrents/Emule/DC++/Gnutella/KAD is P2P I do sometimes miss the glory-days of the early 2000s of the scene, which was fast, but not 'stupid fast' (everything's scripted now) but it's not frustratingly slow as it was in the 90s (I have no clue before the mid90s, as that's when I first got involved)ĭude, you have every resource available right in front of you, so why do you insist on being ignorant ? You probably don't remember all the arguments about the x264 standards, and you almost certainly never saw the brouhaha when xvid was introduced to upset the VCD applecart (or the fierce devotion of the SVCD weirdos).
I did get the chance (about 10 years ago) to sit in on someone racing scene releases on a 2nd tier site, watching as he FXP'd around multiple sites to fill some REQs.Īnd remember, the scene has a lot fo harsh rules that often don't make sense, and have a lot of pushback on when they get changed. It's good you're thinking about things, but you're not thinking hard enough about them. Some do take precautions (like VPNs), but they're agreed in advance. It's like drug dealing - at first you're hiding your identity, so you can't be identified, but at the top of the chain, all the big people know each other, and its in the mutual knowledge of each other that the protection lies, because you know the people, so impostors are spotted. As much as they pose, they have as much relationship to the Scene as you do.Īnd yes FTP is somewhat insecure, but at the same time, it's how it is secure. They don't nuke bad downloads, you won't see them in most preDBs, and they don't care about dupes. they're groups that emulate the scene to give themselves the appearance of legitimacy. In January 2017, former DragonForce vocalist ZP Theart was named the official lead singer after spending a year as a touring member of the group.They're not part of the scene.
Eight months later, however, Harnell left the band.
In April 2015, Skid Row announced that they had parted ways with Solinger, and replaced him with former TNT singer Tony Harnell. After replacing Bach with Johnny Solinger and Affuso with Phil Varone in 1999, Skid Row released Thickskin (2003) and Revolutions per Minute (2006), both of which garnered mixed to negative reception. The band had sold 20 million albums worldwide by the end of 1996. During this period, the band consisted of Bolan, Sabo, Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and frontman Sebastian Bach. The band's third album Subhuman Race (1995) was also critically acclaimed, but failed to repeat the success of its predecessors. The group achieved commercial success in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with its first two albums Skid Row (1989) and Slave to the Grind (1991) certified multi-platinum, the latter of which reached number one on the Billboard 200. Their current lineup comprises bassist Rachel Bolan, guitarists Dave Sabo and Scotti Hill, drummer Rob Hammersmith and vocalist ZP Theart. Skid Row is an American heavy metal band, formed in 1986 in Toms River, New Jersey.
