Has anyone ever seen one? Well i was bored once so i wrote one to share my collection of rare hip-hop music that most trackers wont accept because of quality standards.
Right now it's just sitting there though but i thought it would be nice to hear what you thought of this concept for other websites.
Simplicity is the key here, people don't have to do much to upload a file and start sharing. After all, if you have a public tracker, why would you use any other concept than the 2ch-type imageboard concept?!
> 2ch-type imageboard
Well, either it's a 2ch (Ni-channeru, http://www.2ch.net/) type text board, or a 2chan (Futaba, http://www.2chan.net/) type imageboard. Nitpicking aside I don't think imageboards really make sense for non-images, though, since the way they're designed is based completely around the thumbnailed pic. I'd say the most comfortable style for a torrent tracker is probably an upload-board style like 4chan's /f/.
oh and I'd put a clear: both in the css for h1 elements, that would fix the second header bumping against the image.
I think you misunderstood me just a bit, i was referring more to the way you don't have to register on most futaba-style imageboards.
I'm sorry i don't have all the terminology down, i have so far only been a user of these boards.
I did consider integrating a tracker into a wakaba board but i went along and wrote my own. When i was done i ended up borrowing a huge ammount of code in the form of wakautils.pl anyways so i think i could have killed two birds with one stone with my first idea.
That is i'd have a ready comment system and let people upload potential screenshots or other types of images if each torrent uploaded was a thread created. I still might do this and submit it as a patched wakaba.
Thank you for the CSS-tip, i'm not very good at design. As you maybe saw i stole the whole layout and just modified it a bit.

To make you feel a little better I can tell you prq used a simple layout downloadable by anyone. :-)
old thread is old... looks like this project is dead?
