Hello all!
I have very little time, so I'm just going to
jump in here with a few replies to a few people...
Poor netiquette, but it can't be helped.
Post by unknownPost by unknownHi gnube. Long time lurker here as well. Saw your call to talk
elsewhere after a sudden drop in posts from the big guys. I have been
scanning around and have not seen hide nor hair of most of them
including that most friendly of veggies (some would say fruit, like a
tomato, but I digress) since early August. So here I am, flying circles
over the various groups waiting to see if anyone bobs back up or sends
up a flare from a new group. Frankly, I am a little worried about what
this all may signify. Have any of you the same concerns? The trolls
have been increasingly active in a bunch of my fav places with posts
numbering in the thousands a day. Even my more legit favs like afos and
nubbins are getting some new unwanted traffic.
Hello, Magpie:
No one is posting ATM, and there are no new groups.
This little get-together is the first step in the
right direction.
BTW, 'veggie' was fine recently, but is also not
posting.

Who started the originating thread where you learned of *this* location?
(question already posed to CD elsewhere, and his/her answer was fine)
Hello, gnuBe:
With all due respect, quiz is kinda irrelevant.
Anyone could stumble across info posted openly
and find their way here. There's even a troll
who knows the place where the info was posted,
but it's possible that the troll moved on, or
doesn't read all messages there.
Post by unknownPost by unknownIn regards to KDX, http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/. I'll let you
read up on it. If I knew of a good way to screen members I would
Hello again, Magpie:
I have numerous concerns about this KDX. Looks
too much like P2P, and I can't find any info on
how proxies are supported. P2P or BBS with your
ass hanging out is a very bad thing.
Further concerns continue below:
No such 'good way' to screen members exists.
However, above all else, all members must be
completely anonymous to each other. This
includes not joining any network where your
true IP will be visible to others on the
network.
Post by unknownPost by unknownsuggest the 4 of us hook up using KDX since it has powerful incription
for chat and file transfers. It works for all OSs. It is free initially
Encryption is useless if the recipient is one
of the 'bad guys'. If you are also non-anon,
you are identifiable (and nailable) no matter
how well-encrypted you are.
Post by unknownPost by unknownand but after a month or so it will delay start up for 5 minutes if you
have not paid (big deal, I can use up 5 min doing something else like
scanning newsgroups) another client/server app I have used is Carracho,
Stay away from client/server apps, they most
usually blow your anonymity! There are very
few exceptions to this rule.
Post by unknownPost by unknownits older and dates back to the days of hotline. It has been a
shrinking community since the advent of KDX, but the nice thing for
some of is that it is Mac only. No offense, but the windows world seems
to be a bit seedier with lots of scams, thats what happened to Hotline,
No offense, but I am aware of plenty of Mac
scams/exploits etc. also.
Post by unknownPost by unknownyuck. If you guys end up being interested in KDX, let me know. Maybe we
can figure something out. look forward to hearing from ya'll.
Stay away from KDX unless it can be proven to be
useable in an anonymous manner. I have found no
*built-in* anonymity with KDX so far.
Post by unknownPost by unknownThe web is almost as naked as eMail.
Even though I only do text Q & A on occassion, I just won't go there.
Let's see how it goes with your reply.
hopefully I can fiX your concerns with "not a request" by Opal with CL
and T each chiming in on the thread. hopefully my response is not too
riKaty or addolessant. Ive been lurking so long it feels like it's My
CuLT only, black cat and all. I am not jewish but this deserves a Oi.
Hopefully your not bAd company either, but I think not. well time for
me to go let my hussKy out and end my Lame Series, uh, series ... oh,
nevermind
I feel like a dumb ass. Did I over do it?
You have made your interests abundantly clear,
but you must understand that it is impossible to
ascertain your reasons for being interested.
You, I, or anyone else could have ulterior motives
for being here - hence my belief in the need for
anonymity.
Post by unknownKDX is not web based,Its a bbs type system by the way, and it allows
for proxies. I know some serious outlaws who have opperated on it for
years sharing warez, pron and tunes. I am here just to figure things
out, not get in the way. Lead the way dude
AFAIK, most BBS systems use FTP or similar protocol,
which tends to be rather difficult to proxify. Your
'serious outlaws' may have been merely overlooked.
In any BBS system, *someone* has to be the server.
And their IP has to be findable, otherwise there is
no way for anyone to connect to them.
Findable IP = findable operator = bad news
