Title: Are the forum and main site connected at all?
Post by: lettucel on January 16, 2013, 04:41 am

Is the site connected to the forum at all?
And if not, is it possible to track your current TOR IP to your forum IP?

From what I know (which isn't much). The forums are about as accessible as any. The fact that you can only access it through the Tor, gives some comfort, but from what I can glean from my limited experience

this here forum is less secure.

I may be wrong. I'm sure the expert textperts will come out of the woodwork to tell us a whole nother story.

The question is, "Is anyplace safe" - Ans. No. - It's all a crapshoot.

Stop being afraid and just go for it.

Our leaders are raping and pillaging our treasury as we speak. Might as well do as they do. 

Speaking as an American, (of the country formerly known as The United States of America".  Now run by the hippie activists from the 60''s that ruined everything.

Look in the bottom right corner of any of your posts. That's your IP address. It's only visible to you.

But hang on... I'm backtracing you right now... ah got it!

Your IP address is 127.0.0.1. Did I get it? :)

I have noticed this for a while. When searching a message such as "127.0.0.1 you can only perform one search every 10 seconds."
