| BigMatt Member Sunrise Adams, Queen of Cute. 498 Posts 12/04 | I'd love to try out a chat service, and the people here on ADT are great. But one thing that worries me is privacy. ADT uses IRC from what I understand, and with IRC it is easy to find someone's IP adress. I'm not paranoid, but that simple fact makes me less comfortable. I'd like to be free to talk about anything I want without anyone being able to track anything. (However, I don't mind if the public chat rooms are being monitored to throw out illegal stuff, I just want the anonymity). So I wonder if there is any way or anywhere to chat anonymously, preferably a place with a large user base. Topic Moved by - lindi on Oct 14 2006 [Link] |

| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99 | There are ways that people can use IRC to track you down. However, we do not state that our chat is an anonymous chat service. Our chat room is also not a "sex chat" room. If that's what you're looking for please look elsewhere. |
| BigMatt Member Sunrise Adams, Queen of Cute. 498 Posts 12/04 | I realize that IRC is probably not "safe" enough... It's not that I have anything in specific to hide, I would just like the same anonymity that we have on the forums. If IRC can't provide that, then I'll just have to accept that. But thanks for the feedback. |
