Has anyone ever been busted because of this site? No. Is everything you post viewable by the general public? Yes. Stay safe and don't post anything that can link your account to you and you should be fine. That and don't ever tell anyone you know your screen name :thumbs:

Exacaly what Mr Pig said site is as safe as you make it do not post any personal details and your all good no other way to track you as the site server is top notch :dance:

Also when posting pictures,
Make sure there is nothing identifiable in them to anyone other than yourself.
No mail with addresses laying around in the picture, no pictures of your house or surroundings.
No facial pictures. Never tell someone your true name is "John Smith".
Follow those simple rules and you should be golden.

we can have 24 plants, and up to an ounce dried,

An ounce from 24 plants! You would have to make hash or oil to stay under the limit.

Lots of modern devices tag the GPS coordinates in the EXIF data in the image. Always good to see what else is tagged before posting your pics.

I was thinking the same thing, roflmao,

Anyways, Also,...

Posting from your phone has more traceble information than a camera. Not on this site, and other sites as well, but make sure wherever you do post that you cant be linked. If you have ever loaded a picture from your phone on to your computer, look at the picture, and look at all the information you can get by right clicking it and see the specifics. You might be surprised. It has your phone number, and it even has the GPS location of where the picture was taken, if the settings are not secure.

We're very safe. Servers in Amsterdam and running an encrypted connection (https). Bailer knows his security and has this site very well protected, not only from LEO, but from hackers as well.

It's things like talk of selling and trading that get forums in trouble. That's why we're so insistent about not allowing any talk of those things.

The reason ive just changed forums is that some of my mates found out and joined so they could watch my grows and i was pulling good yeilds so security was then an issue. just make sure you tell NO ONE and you'll be safe

Ps, loose lips get you busted :jaw:

Alaska,
I run from a hidden and encrypted OS(check out TrueCrypt, it is free). Also, I run through a paid VPN, HideMyAss. One day my IP is in Texas, the next day it is in Colorado, you get the idea. It costs a few dollars a month but it is worth it for peace of mind. I don't worry so much about being caught through this site as much as I do LEO showing up for some random reason, then being able to track down my web activity through my pc or internet provider and build a case.

I read somewhere, if you don't want to get busted then don't grow weed. If you grow weed, then always have a contingency plan. How are you covering your tracks? How will you handle the situation if the police show up at the door? Make sure that you have as minimal supplies as necessary on location. Lastly, NEVER EVER SAY ANYTHING until you have spoken to a lawyer! Always instruct everyone in your house not to say a word. Anything can and WILL be used against you in a court of law. Even, the seemingly obvious comment, "yes those are marijuana plants". I cannot stress that last comment enough, NEVER SAY A WORD until you have spoken with a lawyer. LEO always wants to "reduce your sentence if you cooperate" because it makes their case easier and guess what? LEO doesn't set the sentencing. That is up to the courts.

Stay safe,
A4
