Talk:Hotline

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ÓUh, Hotline is not p2p, it's very definitely client-server in architecture.

[edit] re: hotline not P2P

=> why has it been removed instead of corrected then ? Should I add it back ? (no i didn't put it initially)

[edit] disambig

I've added a disabig link to Hotline Connect. I'm not the person who removed the Hotline Connect stuff, but I agree that it doesn't belong on the body of this article. It's not really a 'hotline' in the sense used in this article, but a distinct topic with a similar name. --Eloil 07:09, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Hotline is DEAD. The Company went belly up, the software is outdated, and the network has porn and bad piracy only. Why do insist on pushing this crap?

Because Hotline was a very important development. We don't remove the Second World War from Wikipedia just because it's over. Furthermore, there are still many Hotline servers running to this day, many of which are not "porn and bad piracy only", there is a community of programmers who continue to develop software based around Hotline.

[edit] Format?

This page is formatted in a totally different way from most disambig pages. Shouldn't each meaning be a short link to articles that hold the main text? Also, Hotline Connect should be here. It is irrelevant that the network is mostly defunct. This is an encyclopedia, not (as the previous poster seems to think) an advertisement. Strait 04:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

"Hotline connect" is just an insignificant product among millions that use the term “hotline” on its name, plus there is nothing special, or relevant about it. Moreover it’s not even related to what a “hotline” is.

From music bands to movies to millions of services make use of the word "hotline". A simple search in Yahoo.com would yield about 37,200,000 instances for the word "hotline".

Do you believe that each product or service that uses "hotline" as part of its name should be here?

It is irrelevant to the definition, and it is obvious you are just desperate to push this lousy product.

This is a joke, right? Kransky 13:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
