and FTP is also a large source of warez.....and so is the web.....it doesn't mean it
doesn't have any benefits at all.
as it is, i think hotline servers can still be interesting, and are sort of a modern
incarnation of BBSs......
if you use the main hotline tracking (hltracker.com) you will find a list of perfectly
legitimate non-illegal sites.....
and some websites, such as Mac Gamer's Ledge, run cool hotline servers and have
interesting chats and discussions.
whatever its downsides are, i think hotline as a service is a nice alternative to ftp
servers.
