IP Addresses To Username To Specific Forum Posts...

[disinfodevil]

I have been waiting for someone to bring up IP Address information. I wouldn't be so concerned but I know everybody that posts personal gear related information does not go through the trouble of hiding their IP Address every time they do it. Anyway, I think that the users have a right to know how exclusive their personal information is at EliteFitness.com.

If you think about it, the cops can only see which IP Addresses visit this website in general (The Web server only logs IP Addresses). They do not know which IP Addresses made which posts. UNLESS... The EliteFitness.com Administrators were to give the authorities access to database information which could easily reveal IP Address >> Username >> Specific Forum Posts Information. I think all members would find it very interesting if this is true. I looked on the EliteFitness.com privacy policy and found nothing about this topic. If this question does get answered by EliteFitness Administrators then I think this should definitely be sticky'ed!!

Me too! I tried with a couple posts but people dont seem to concerned on this forum.

I would venture that 2-3% MAX of the members here use an anonymous proxy.
And your thinking is dead on, posting any info that aids in the use or distribution of illegal drugs is a crime in itself. Anyone whol uses their real ip to post on ANY forum where the focus is criminal activity is asking for trouble.

IPs ARE logged , I can promise you that! Feds routinely take over server machines of forums like this and download the forum db... and BAM! Hosting offshore USED to be semi-bulletproof, but no more. Can you say IPOL, etc.?

As mentioned above the Feds can easily take over the server box. They dont need permission. And as you stated they have access to logs. And you can bet law enforcement is entrenched in this forum both in the light and in the shadows.
From what I have seen of admins of this forum , this topic will NOT be addressed.


Good thinking tho bro, everyone should THINK before you act when committing crimes.

One of the big difference between EF and the smaller boards on the net are EF DOES and WILL pat for legal council to protect your privacy.

MODS PLEASE COMMENT ON IP Addresses

This should be a sticky. Privacy is an important issue. I also think it's something that should be protected - although it's debatable in some circles.

Any mods want to comment on how our privacy is protected here?

Cut straight to the chase. What are you saying then? In plain fucking english. What are you saying? Speak up.

Its called a proxy.
Even better a VPN (virtual private network)
Best = wardriving (wireless internet access via wireless networks at "hot spots")

I will be writing several tutorials on staying completely anonymous from beginning to end. From loggin on to getting your gear. Whethe admin decides to sticky, thats up to them.

One thing is for DAMN sure, its time to tighten up folks. And I just happen to have been in the game of being anonymous for quite some time

Changing IP addresses now is pointless. You would have to do that when you decide to rejoin as another member. Right now you are logged in as who you are.

when will these tutorials be available? I don't know that much about IP addresses and the like. So I am very interested in this topic and staying safe. I used to have a secure email address at ziplip.com, but I didn't use it for a while so i think they canceled it. Where is the best secure but free email available?

Why did the thread starter get bombed? Am I missing something?
