Like I said.

As it has also been mentioned, of course Hotline wasn't designed
specifically for software piracy, nor has it done anything to
revolutionize the practice. The gross spelling and grammatical errors
combined with the blatantly stupid tone of the message that started this
thread lead me to believe that the whole thing was either a joke, or
some attempt to defile Hotline. So, let's just forget about it.

Hey what are some trackers anyway? I have an IP to one right now (don't
know it's 'official' name) and I'd like to see what other servers are
out there. Ok, thanks.

It's not forgotten, it's just not going to be in the final 1.1.  Version 
2.0 will have the multiconnect.
