The Great Purge

[Kiwi Jeff]

I'm only changing to my lolcow email because I don't know if my other throwaway will still be supported. Other than that I'm not really too worried.

Thanks for doing this, Null
I guess I'm curious if anything could possibly be done about PMs. I'm sure lots of us have information in there. idk if that's possible.

Oh well, I've long considered the possibility of being doxxed from here, but I don't piss off people like Vordak and I've never had an employer actually find anything about me on google. Which I've taken measures against anyway, on top of being fortune to have the same name as other more famous people

I laughed at the .gov address, I wish I knew who that was lol

Would it be beneficial for me to TrueCrypt all my CWC content and access the site only through Tor?

Edit: Tfw you're this close to running the table and don't.

but I don't piss off people like Vordak

Simply posting on this site is enough to piss of Vordrak to the point he'd be willing to throw your dox to the wolves the moment he got it.

Thank you dear leader.


-May you and your tranny gf reign over KF for years.

So if I signed up with a throwaway email, do I have to do anything?

edit: awesome

No.

I believe XenForo deletes conversations that have been left by all parties, though I'm not sure.

@Null can that filthy imposter @cricket be purged from the site and my name changed to @Cricket as is natural in the eyes of the Lord Kek?

Is a throwaway Yahoo okay?

I think so long as it's a throwaway you're fine.

I am using an old Yahoo account that I never use anyways and it doesn't have any important info on me. I've never used or needed to use a VPN so that is pretty daunting to me, I am not a computer geek. I am just wondering if you are still going to allow Yahoo emails or not. I might just get an lolcow email though.

The only things I block are 5 minute email accounts (and now any .edu or .gov address). I ask people use a real email account and setup forwarding so I can keep in touch.

@cricket is a false prophet and an abomination. It would be rightful.

 

[Closet Sorcerer]

First thing I did was to set up a Lolcow Email and grab a VPN when I came here among the good ol' "Use a username you never used before" so I'm set.

Still, thanks for taking this head on @Null . Truly you are the One True Master Kiwi.

This is very correct, sir. I am the true Cricket. That one has never even posted.

Also, on the topic of general security I think a lot of people would benefit from the inconvenience of using a password generator-manager like KeePass. Recycling the same shitty password is a bad habit for the best of us and if you spend a lot of time on a desktop, KeePass is worthwhile for creating and storing dozens of robust passwords. You only need to remember a master password and it can be used from a USB stick. Just make sure to back up your database file physically or on a cloud service.

Eh, I just use my full name and social security number as a password for everything. It's always worked out.

are these autists really hellbent in trying to dox everybody?

Of course, but their threats are rather impotent. This is more just a matter of updating our privacy policy and encouraging best practices.
