ok first off i've been here over 3 yrs. secondly, you don't know wtf your talking about. third, who are you. NOBODY!!! security is important, very important!!! if, you don't understand that well i really shouldn't even waste my time responding to you. don't know what cave you live in but, we have a saying, "you can never be too paranoid." with that being said, no matter how safe you think you are you have no idea what law enforcement is capable of when it comes to the internet.you sound really dumb dude!

i hate a dumb comment especially when the topic is valid. if, you don't have anything intelligent to say, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!

This board is secure. I used to be an admin at a hacking website. We hosted our site off shore, we had vBulletin similar to this website, we had phpIDS which detects when people are messing around with your site, we had an active administration team monitoring the website at all times, you couldn't access the cPanel unless your IP was whitelisted by our admin, you couldn't hack the website through the admin panel.

At the end of the day, it wasn't the website that was the problem. It was the users having unsecure profiles. Personally I have dozens of nicknames, I have dozens of emails, I have scores of proxies, VPNs, SSH Tunnels, Mac Spoofers and the like. Am I concerned that I will be found on this website?

Nope.

If you happen to be concerned, there are a few steps you can resort too and I will tell them to you:

1. Never use your home internet. If you aren't stealing wireless or using public net you can eventually be traced.
2. Double bag that shit. Use TOR as a proxy to connect to another proxy. That way it adds another layer, making it harder to track. Look for a VPN that does not keep logs. Their are several out there.
3. Use a MAC Spoofer.
4. Make a fake identity. Make a new name, residence, numbers, emails ect. Then use that as your online persona.
5. Use 64 bit passwords for everything

Or you could just say "whatever" and move on with your life. Anybody can be tracked down eventually. This is a statistics game, it isn't a matter of if you will be caught but when. Just because a website is "https" doesn't mean it is in anyway, shape, or form secure.

Just to let you know, there is a Zero-Day floating around for vBulletin right now. HTTPS doesn't protect you from the dangers of the internet. It is like you are going to get in your car. Before you do so, you put on a bullet proof vest, ballistics goggles and a helmet. You run to your car as fast as you can, get inside then go about your business. Just because you did that doesn't mean the car won't explode, or you will get hit by a bus or something. It just means you are slightly safer from a specific attack.

C,mon kid,put away those internet muscles & chill.

To answer your question of who the f--- are you im just some broken down old fart who's been through alot more than you will ever go through god willing,i wouldnt wish my experiences with the ( justice ) system on anybody.

You say that you can never be too paranoid,your wrong in a bad way,paranoia & fear will keep you from using your brain,it will also cause you to act impulsively in the same manner in which you lashed out at me,fear & paranioa will cause impulsive actions that stick out like an infected cocaine nostril to neighbors,family,friends,customers & lastly our good freinds at the cop shop.

The whole reason any of us on this site & any other internet site where illeagle mj grows are being discussed is simple,none of us here amount to a pimple on LEO's ass,were all small fish not worth their limited time & limited budget & thats a fact,you continue to operate only because you are a minnow swimming in a sea of whales,as we all are & thats a good thing.

I didnt allways live in a legal state,until recently Mich was hard core anti mj & durring those years i was here on RIU,not only was i here i regulary posted pics & info pertaining to ??? plus plant grows,anything over 199 plants carries a minimum 20 years & nobody came after me,why is that ? Because i aint shit & the same goes for the rest of us.

If your gonna get busted it wont be beacause you posted on a web site it'll be from some other error in judgement,usually something pertaining to friends or customers rolling over on you.

Site security,multiple proxy's,leach programs where you piggy back your ip address to another ip address in another state ect,none of these will keep any of us safe so chill,instead of freaking out & accusing the admin of being careless you should be thanking them for having a place for us to go,stop spreading paranoia & just enjoy the site.
