i thought the whole point of the wireless gateway was that it couldn't be tracked, but they seized my accounts and my gateway. what's up with that?

That feature was messed up in the patches.  It does not currently work.  :)

Actually, it wasn't messed up...it was removed.  Chris thought that it made the game too easy, as you could do probably anything in the game without worrying about the active trace.  If the active trace couldn't get you, the only thing that could is the passive trace, which relies on the logs.  Needless to say, this feature was actually bad, kinda like turning the trace off with a cheat.

No, Chris didn't take it out, he forgot about it. I've talked to him about it several times and he does plan to fix it at some point. Don't misslead people confederate.

Confederate's story is the one that has circulated here for a long time.  Don't blame him; he is just repeating it.  :)

Damn near every time this question pops up I tell the same story of how it's a bug and chris will fix it. So I don't know how this second version where Chris took it out and plans to leave it out came from.

PB: I had always heard the other story.  It wasn't until recently that I heard the truth.  :)

right, now it's gotten out of hand, and all other people are looking forward for this fix, and has to be told otherwise everytime there's a new post that pops up like this one.

Damnit all to hell.  I thought I'd read in the changes.txt that it had been fixed, as well as reading it here.  But I guess not.  There needs to be a new, fresh FAQ that has all of the problems and solutions that have been found so far.  It would be a good idea to lock the FAQ, so it could only be bumped by moderators, or simply leave it as an unwriteable forum area.
