My pleasure!
I was reading an article from a long time ago which stated that IPS will investigate possible nulled boards by finding the head admin/owner username and searching on the web (or even on IPS) to see what comes up. So I thought to my self it would be a good idea to give people extra reminder
Big shout-out to  _.:illus!on:._ for making the custom made tool!
Cheers!

That's not how IPS knows who share files. I had my account banned because I shared a file in another forum. I was the only one who downloaded the file in the day. It is logged. Everyone who downloads a file, adds a record to a log. Your name here won't do any bad to you.

But they cannot see the file uploaded as a Guest, they won't go out their way to make an account.

No one for sure knows 100% how IPS investigates nulled boards. However you can't just say "Your name here wont do any bad to you" because I know a previous staff member and members of IV have been banned from IPS because they had the same name here at IV and IPS.
At the end of the day you do not have to abide my warning, just don't come crying when/if you get busted by IPS.

They look at the checksums of files uploaded to IV and if they match a file downloaded by a user on IPS he will more than likely get banned. Talking from experience here Always repack any files being leaked.

Also guys,

If you download a file from IPS. Keep it for yourself for a few days and look at how many downloads on IPS were done on that file after you that way you are lost among the numbers to them.


If you download a file and 2 minutes later you come here to upload, they're gonna know it's you.

I don't think it's a ban. Make a ticket with them.

I'm using a username here that I last used elsewhere over 13 years ago. As a result, this should not appear anywhere anymore, since most of the pages I had access to are no longer existent.
