I've made the forums over 400$ and I've spent maybe 50 on myself.

I'm also in direct contact, he's not doing nothing.

Something I don't think Jeffs ever adequately explained, but I can, is that there is NO traceability to the level people are expecting here. I have many means to donate to me, and you can put a fake name and address in all of them. This guy regularly gives me money through paypal and stripe, normally 4.00$, with fun names like "Die Tranny" and addresses like "40 percent lane." I work with police, I have about a dozen fake email addresses, I have about a dozen different credit card numbers, with colorful names and slogans. My partner, who I won't link too directly out of wanting to keep her safe, has a sticker store, and it doxxed me at one time because the customer support email and address was my home address. He regularly makes purchases with them to see if it'll happen again. some places require you to put an actual factual address, but you can pull any address up on Google Maps and put that in. When you make a purchase with a credit card the credit card company never actually checks or sends your address to the payment processor. As long as the number, name, expiration, and security code match, it just accepts it. Hell he's put MY address in as a fake address, which is fun. The main reason I don't agitate for this, or really comment on it is because as far as I know, this kind of harassment just isn't possible to stop. You either live with it until it goes away or you move. jeff and I talk, a lot, we both love the forums, we both tried to buy the forums, we both want to see this community thrive, I think that's in part why he lets me use the forums as a small base to run my comic community out of. I know people don't like him, but I trust him implicitly. I don't think he's cruel or callous or has given up. I'll always go to bat for Jeff, because he's a genuinely good guy, who helped me personally when I was in a very dark place. i don't know what the code base for this place is like, and this might not be a simple fix. I truly don't believe he'd leave it running like this if it was a simple fix, if only because cool calculations say crazy guy who spends 10$ to buy a lovely av will probably pay 20$ to buy a fake account and a fake av.

That wasn't victim blaming, and I didn't take arf's post that way.

I was the one who said I slipped up, I literally used the word mistake when describing how I got doxxed. He was reiterating what I said, not making a judgement. He's repeatedly said he's not making a judgement.

I agree with Arfjason is saying, and was sharing how I got doxxed because I wanted to show how easy it was. I'm so loving exhausted with this conversation, so I'm stepping out of it, but PLEASE be careful. That's all anyone is saying. Be careful. You deserve to take care of your personal info. That's all, no more needs to be inferred.
