Suggestion For A New Section/subsection
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: tracydani
As this is a forum all about p2p and the fact that p2p users seem to be unfairly persecuted, I thought that we should have an area set aside for the express purpose of helping members to protect themselves.
I belive this is vital to our future although many prefer to rely on the large number of p2p users to protect them.
I would suggest that a few of the more tech savvy members here get together and write an extensive guide covering many of the mainstream methods of protecting your identities.
This could just be a stickied thread kept in General Filesharing or something. But I would also suggest having a stickied shortcut within each of the p2p app. sections.
Or this could be a section all of it's own with stickies for the basic methods and then the following area for members to post question/discussion about the various methods available.
I suggest keeping it within General Filesharing or creating it's own section because the methods used would cover a variety of areas including software and hardware.
We have many excellent discussions throughout the forum about this stuff and I belive it would be a great addition and help to many if there is an area set aside just for this.

Unfortunately I probably couldn't even lift that thing :lol: I gotta go for the type of protection that involves the strength of my fingers or maybe the addition of a little(computer) hardware :D

I think it would be ok - nothing against this section.
I also think that if you want to have Filesharing relating stuff
being discussed like Privacy & Protection, there is "General Filesharing Talk", isn't it?
Guys, keep also in mind - if you make too many sections/areas, it would be difficult
for new members to find. A simple and easy to find board is fine - hope you know
what I mean ;)

@FC
I mean protecting yourself when using the various p2p apps. out there.
There are many ways to do this, Peergaurdian and proxies are examples.
But I belive that a forum such as this should have a clear cut section that describes as many ways as possible for us to protect ourselves with guides to using them with the various apps. we all use.
I am sure there are members here who use methods that many of us have either never heard of or just really do not know how to implement.
Seems a good way to further our future in p2p.
