Just want peoples opinion on how safe this site is for openly talking about what we get upto, if they can track a paedophile then why not the drug folk like us, i don't want to instill any doubts in any one but you never know? Or is this me on a para, but even so i'd rather be on one rather than lose what i have?
I've been around for a good while and I can say that this site is very safe and well maintained. I rarely see assholes around here. I think this has to honestly be one of the best forums I've ever been apart of...honestly.
Thats good to know my friend just wanted to check on that one you never know what the feds get upto these days.
If the feds want to create them a little account and roam the forums just to take tabs on them that's fine. I can't honestly tell you if they do that or not but as far as Cannabis.com giving the feds information I highly doubt that happens.
the filth accept growin a bit of erb for youself, although frownd upon is not really a big deal.
uk coppers are two buzy writing statements to get the time to search this forum for a tad of info on possible local erb growers
dont be paronoid ganj is tollerated by most people
anyway your in the uk and you only get 2 weeks at butlins for multiple rapes and pillages
I feel it is safe. Besides all any interested partys need to do is read the Disclaimer below. :thumbsup:
Well buuddylove thanks for the input and yes its the truth its only a short stretch in butlins but afta doing a 5 stretch i don't even fancy 2 weeks but hey f**k it this is my passion and why shouldn't be able to share it with the world! Nice one bongo read it and that eased the big bad P.Cheers bongo for posting that evry1 should get in here and read that.
Watched your video while i was listening to razorlight on my system and your backing tune mixed in and it sounded mental think i'll go on cubase and mix them both and post on bobbongs radio station, whats the track called?
i'm para cos it keeps me safe :)
This site is hosted in the US. if the FBI/NSA/CIA/Homeleand Security decieded to get the logs from which they can trace you, and the pass that info onto UK police you may get a visit if you look like a commercial grower. This is not paranoid, this is what can happen.
The UK police may tolerate personal homegrown at the moment but things change, and besides even if the police are not interested no one should be invading your privacy so don't give em the chance to get ANY information on you, especially if you're breaking the law. Having a sig that says 'I am dellusional, all this is fiction' aint gonna save your arse.
The safest thing to do is visit via a proxy, also known as an anonymizer - do a google search. make sure the one you choose is not in the US or EU (or any English speaking country for that matter, Aus, NZ etc.), you can check for where a site is hosted and who owns it by using an online geographical 'traceroute' tool and a 'whois' tool, again google will help you.
Also, is there are any mods out there what happens to the logs please?
i dont mean to rain on your parade.. but do you honestly think that if the police had enough evedence that you are growing.. that they would take any notice of your disclaimer?? i think not.. so in reality i wouldhave to say no offence.. but your disclaimer dont stand for shit if police have enough evedence on you you may aswell erase that disclaimer pack your bags and enjoy ur new homeQuote:

But hey like someone said earlier PARANOA keeps me safe. Who the hells clark williams theres got to be a story behind that?
hey shauneyboy - dont worry about Mr Williams - I was just making a point about how 'safe' the board is if you're not careful. You never know, he might reply and then I can tell him how to keep safe on the internet :)
I'll might give him a call if he don't reply, or maybe send him a christmas card now that I've got his postal address too. LOL.
well, im of the opinion that personally, ( i grow between 5-8 plants at a time)
they dont really care, im a financially independant person who pays taxes and dosent go round selling drugs to kids, stealing car stereos, terroising neighbourhoods and raping old ladies.
that makes me very low priority for a start. even if i was to get busted, i would hold my hands up and say hey, im not going to feed the local criminals £100 a month so i can have a smoke, so i grow a small number of plants for my own use.
anyway to my point....
i know theres been a lot of interest in internet privacy, but if your sensile how you post, and dont give away personal details, in writing or accidently in pictures, its just not going to happen any more than you get locked up for downloading bit-torrents.
now what i am actually concerned about is this whole proxie thing,
most ISPs only keep a month or so's worth of search entries, and i for one, dont have a static IP anyway, so i dont care.
on the otherhand, an annonymous proxy provider will be catering for a lot of people with somthing to hide...thier search histories will be worth 10x10 of what any ISP's is worth, so if you were the DEA, who would you "lean" on?
also being in the uk, do you really think, even if you were that unlucky, the DEA phoned up your ISP for a trace, and your ISP would call the local plod? just on the off chance?
"so and so has been posting pics on a website" so what...
then all the freedom of speach and right to privacy comes into play
as much as i detest bureaucracy, it does have its benefits lol
even if you were absurdly unlucky and got busted, and sent down for a few weeks, you would have a nice compensation claim waiting for you when you got out, not to mention tens of thousands of pounds for selling the story to the tabloids.
yeah, their personal information. Its not a crime to protect your privacy you know (well at least not yet).Quote:

ISPs have signed up to the same code of practice that governs mobile phone companies. All records kept for minimum five years, all requests for info from police to be made available without stating why, i.e. they don't need a reason.Quote:
DEA phoned up your ISP for a trace,
I worked for a mobile phone company in the late 90s and they regularly (every week) ran programs on call patterns to find suspected drug dealers phone numbers, they would then pass them on to the police.
The real belt and braces approach is to get on an anonymous proxy, from there visit another anonymous proxy, and then go to the site you wish to visit. make sure its HTTPS all the way - even though that can be decrypted in a couple of hours by governments. The worse thing that can happen is they'll think your a terrosist and come round and shoot you. :)
OK, so Mr Williams hasn't responded (can't say I blame him).
When someone says that a certain site is 'safe' I see that as a challange cos I know its not true.
One of the posters above was tracked down to their real name, home address and telephone number in about three minutes.
I do not use any techniques which are illegal or any fancy programs, I just use a few tools which are available to anyone.
here are some tips to keep your real identity a bit more anonymous.
1. always choose a new nickname when sigining up to any online service.
2. do not add any unnecessary information such as what country you're in or a 'my home page' address.
3. Never ever ever ever publish personal details ANYWHERE on the intrernet.
4. use a web proxy/anonymizer
I say this as a network security consultant with over two decades experience. There is no such thing as a safe web site.
Holy shit, just don't do naything illegal and you don't have to worry. Move to a state where you can get medicinal. Then you can grow all you like. In cities like SDan DIego, you are allowed 24 mature plants. If you have more than that, obviously you are not just growing for you. So most should have nothning to worry about.!:greenthumb:
I dont know how safe it is.. but regardless, the people that take pictures of themselves posing with their growing marijuana plants are idiots.
