Why the hell do people think anyone is paying GCW to "support" their stuff?! GCW is user-supported: whatever is out there and gets uploaded by someone appears on the site. I asked Empire many times to remove Cheathappens' (free promo) trainers, as a kind of revenge, but he didn't do that because, in his opinion, visitors should be able to get whatever they need and it's not our task or responsibility to filter out whatever we don't like. I don't agree with him - see what I wrote about "useful censorship" in the other thread -, nevertheless this sounds acceptable to me.
GCW doesn't make money out of anything other than advertisements and that's barely enough for the maintenance but I've never seen Empire even only considering to make visitors pay for anything. (See cd-2-dvd.com: it's coming back online soon although no user pays for it and it went down a couple of months ago due to lack of funds and motivation.) People should be grateful for whatever they get, and especially when it's free!
Now to the h4x0r-specific part... Please, point me to a specific download on GCW and describe your suspicion and debugging results a bit more, to help me with my own inspection. (Hoping that I also have the necessary tools. Skills I can learn, thank you.) No links to h4x0r's site, please, because I can't login: I have no Facebook account and don't plan to create one for any reason. Also, are you sure that what you've tried is a trainer really by h4x0r? You know, Cheathappens is spreading fake trainers in his name, some got uploaded to GCW, too!
If you want to use a (non-promo) Cheathappens trainer then you have to have not only an active but also a paid account on their site. Explain to me in what way this is different from using Facebook as a kind of "authentication gateway" and how authenticationg via Facebook can be used to steal anyone's personal data on Facebook or somewhere else. (Why would third-party authentication reveal information about the user other than, yeah, it's a genuine user registered on the authenticating site?! Authentication returning personal information would be a paradise for phishing so Facebook obviously cannot do that!)
Sorry but, with all the bullshit floating around, I don't believe anything that I haven't seen myself anymore so simply reciting rumors has no weight at all to me.
[...] death89: Sorry, this is not h4x0r's support forum.
