If I was an admin I too would be focused on ensuring people their data was secure versus telling them exactly what actually happened ;)

But who knows. Blows regardless.

and that pretty much is why i dont think i will be journaling anymore. i would rather the truth than to be lied to, if my data was comprimised i would like to know so i can take appropriate action, but RIU is more worried about thier member numbers than they are thie members.

i dunno, good chance i dont know what im talking about but i also would rather not take the chance that i do know what im talking about and prove myself right.

Yeah... the truth is nice but so uncommon. Personally I host my own pictures and try not to post anything that can get me into too much trouble.

Yup. I posted several pictures a long time ago that I regretted posting and it freaked me the fuck out which is why I host all my own pics via a google account. Makes it easier to upload, you can edit them post upload and it auto updates, and with the click of a button I can delete all my albums.

Google Picasa makes everything super super simple.

Hey I can't like your post!

Anyway.. good idea on the google picasa. I was using flickr for my photos and liked that I could delete everything if required.

Google is one of those necessary evils. Kind of like the government - you need it, can't trust it and never should, but at the same time you should believe that it has the best intentions and not shy away from its services.

I guess I have a lot of trust in not being important enough for anyone to ever care. If some government agency wants to request google for my info I'll laugh my ass off. It might actually make my day to laugh at how amazingly ridiculous the government would have to be to do that. Not to say they can't/wont but it would just be such an absurd waist of time and resources to go through all of that to patronize a legal medical patent. I would have to go to my reporter friends who would have a field day over it - especially considering how the police are broke as fuck right now.

This clone was thrown in a closet with a single 23w CFL for a month or two and just ignored. Seems to be responding well to some real light :)

paranoia (warranted or otherwise) IS one of the pratfalls of our "hobby"..... i always recommend using a hosting site for pics, especially if security is a concern.
i like my flickr but i've heard good things about photobucket too.

i don't think it makes any difference, the IP adress is there for the government to search anyway, ofcourse they have the tech to do so. uploading to photobucket, or RIU itself is the same i believe, i mean, how many people could be busted uploading stuff? but alot of it can be based as fiction, we could get these pics from anywhere, from anytime, so a case would be useless

yeah, i'm probably over-simplifying; i just meant more in terms of 'ease of use' - ie with a hosting site if you ever get paranoid about your pictures you can delete them at anytime, unlike the uploader here.

Oops... I bought another tank. $20 at the flea market for either a 5 or 7g eclipse all in one. Not sure the tank itself was a steal but it came with just too many extras and I had needed a 25w heater anyways so I had to buy it. Came with a heater, 4 extra filters still in the sealed bag, aquarium salt, N and P test strips, pH tester, water conditioner, a bunch of food, a book on tropical fish... I was expecting to pay $15 for the heater alone so I'm happy :smile: Just need to figure out what to put in it.

There will definitely be lots of plants. For those unaware I'm a bit of a planted tank nerd. All of my tanks except the goldfish and the betas (not pictured) are soil bottom planted tanks - no dosing/water changes, all are self sustaining biomes.

Old video of my 40g, it's much much grassier now:

My 10 and 30g right after moving - they look a bit better/different now.



And my 3g pico that was just fill up about a week ago so it is still growing in:
