There are at least 2 Trackers made for IPB forums. One integrates very well and was a great cutting edge tracker released in 2006. It used XBT as it's backend but the 2 people who wrote the code had "issues" and started getting it in their minds that they wanted the best for themselves and it became very difficult to get support and all of the newest features and suggestions added were kept for themselves and not released. As can happen with potentially decent software releases either greed or pride will interfere and rather than becoming well known as a successful new Mod for IPB they ended up becoming their own worst enemy. Sure, the software is still out there but now lacks the following and the supporters who donated much during it's creation. My forum had to donate in order to be considered as one of the people the tracker was being released to. (it was a beta for a very long time but mostly because nothing was done for a very long time. It was a mess dealing with the people.The software itself was GREAT! And I wish it had been pursued on the same level as it was in the beginning. Were that the case we'd all be using it by now, or at least file sharing sites or sites that want to make large files available for whatever purpose they deal with.LAST POINT:There are other versions out now. People saw it was done, were inspired to make their own and there ARE other similar trackers available. I know of 2 (in addition to the original one) and have heard of still others. If you're still interested, knowing this thread was dated 2007 and it's almost the end of 2008, post and I will look for the URL's of the 2 I know of. It's been a while since I have looked but they are out there still. One person I know gets active support still which tells me it's a going concern and I may just look into it again myself. cdkonline
