I just made a news post over at Mac OS 9 Lives about the spiritual successor to tracker-tracker.com, tracker.bigredh.com.

Just a heads up :)

You see Knez, a readme file would have/could have told me, what a HL tracker is supposed to be all about. But alas, I have to die ignorant now. :(

Damn man, take some responsibility over your own need for information.

Have you heard of search engines on the internet, 68040? They crawl the World Wide Web and index all the websites they can find. You can then search the built up index and (hopefully) find what you're looking for. There's Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing to name a few.

I used DuckDuckGo and the search term what is a hotline tracker? and got the following results among others:

http://hlwiki.com/index.php/Trackers
https://hotline.fandom.com/wiki/Trackers

So the next time you think that someone should put time and effort into meeting your need of information by making a ReadMe file specifically for you, try searching the internet first and see if you find the information you need there.

If you're not satisfied with what the internet provides you in terms of information, that's the time to ask a humble question to your fellow human beings.

Maybe something like this:

I tried to search the web for what a Hotline Tracker is but I can't find any good information and/or I don't understand the information I found, can you help me understand?

Hopefully you wont have to die ignorant now, my friend :)

I have heard of monstrous information contraptions, that trick you into asking them seemingly simple questions only to spew out hundreds, nay thousands, nay tens of thousands of gobbledygook websites in response.

Many a brave reader where seen entering, but few of them ever managed to get out to share their tales of word salad terror with us. If only they would have had a readme file, to spare them all that agony. :O
