    This is a old forum that was completely opened to where there was no requirement for email confirmation or digital image that you have to type in. It is hilarious, check it out.

    Since its bot spam LOTS of NSFW topics so beware. You wont see them if you go to the link and don't forum the subforum though.

    This is pretty much proof of why those secure images and pressing links to confirm accounts is a requirement for forums.

    Yes because laws totally matter on the internet. And because laws are always followed.
    I have approximate answers and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don’t know anything about. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing.

    email spam is worse if not filtered at a server. At this place I worked at we got hit by 10k emails a day from china alone that had to be filtered.

    None of it contained national socialist propaganda or the ridiculous i see in this forum though.
