Several sites went down at once

The hosting provider supporting several of the most popular pedo themed sites was removed recently, bringing down a number of message boards and chat sites. Sources say the hosting provider will not be bringing the server back online so at least for the near future don't expect those sites to return. Luckily for the members of those sites the server was reportedly erased and did not fall into the hands of law enforcement or hackers as has been the fate of so many sites before them. Chatters on all sites (including this one) are reminded that every site has been or will eventually be compromised by either anti social engineers, hackers or law enforcement if they continue to operate. Keep that in mind before you use a highly targeted site to discuss any of your personally identifying details or secrets. Even if it seems like some messages are PMs (private) it's possible that all of those messages and logs or screen shots of your conversations have been kept by the sites for a number of reasons, including keeping tabs on users for "security purposes," or keeping therapy notes on people for "treatment purposes," or in the worse case scenario keeping track of people in preparation to dox them for some upcoming bust. You never know when the cat is going to be let out of the bag, so decide today to never share sensitive information about yourself with any highly targeted pedo themed site. Maybe take these sites going down as a sign that it's time to touch some grass this Spring. Start meeting with a like minded friend in your own physical community instead of relying on sketchy websites to provide the sense of community that you crave. If you can manage to make one friend every six months, in a decade you will have 20 friends, plus the shared community that comes from their friends and family. You might even make a few young friends along the way.
