Beech is paranoid
With reason
I never saw what was posted... but believe me if the feds want to get you based on your posts, it does not matter. They will get you. When's the last time you heard of that actually happening though??? Other than that dude who was dumb enough to videotape his mailing address on his youtube vid and his reflection in the mylar
the biggest one on this site I know of is that guy fdd, but it turns out from what I understand his bust was from someone turning on him and had nothing to do with RIU
Unless you're using someone elses internet connection to be online, you're not completely safe in terms of that.
I'm probably not going to do a grow thread next time around just for sake of not being too visible, but I don't really think that's going to make a big difference. The feds are FAR more likely to get you based on your email, texts and phone calls than off of posts on rollitup -- first of all no offense to rollitup, but it's not even the top weed site. When i hear people at grasscity and marijuana.com or other places start getting busted, then maybe I'll worry. But like I said, people mostly do not get busted by online posts. They get busted by doing really stupid things for their grow to get discovered, get pulled over holding, or someone they sell to gets busted and turns on'em. That's how you get busted. The other stuff can definitely happen, but you can also get hit by a bus or struck by lightning. If the feds are hunting on rollitup, they're probably looking for bigger growers than me or sincerely... at least at this point
People turning on me is what worries me -- it's already almost happened once to me. You never know if they get busted who is going to give you up, and you can't control other people. And potheads sometimes do stupid stuff to get them busted -- like the guy who almost gave me up cuz he got busted trying to grow covertly at someone's business. UGH. Come on people.
