Definitely, just googling keywords with reddit on google returns so many results related to pirating, but it's pretty much just in recent months I feel like they've been cracking down a lot more on content like it. r/piracy still has a lot of great content though, and I think if you're interested their mega thread is a great place to get a sense of how to pirate safely.

You're good to go. We do not and will not host any illegal content on [RAMBLE] but you can link to and talk about it, with the exception of linking to CP, because I just don't want the site associated with it. (Call me old fashioned, I guess) But yeah, piracy/torrents links are fine. You can link to dark net markets and such.

Just try to keep things organized and in the appropriate places is all that I ask. Create your own forum if you must, the feature is there to be used.

There's a lot of ways to start doing this. I started out with Python, and I was able to pick up on Flask and Django pretty quickly. Both are fantastic libraries to create websites with, but I think learning Node.js and express is also another great combo for making websites. (This applies to Clearnet sites, not 100% sure about Tor based websites)

Holy hell, I haven't seen or heard of Oink and What.cd in a long time. I remember when an old room mate invited me to those.

Man, I sure do miss Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, Morpheus, etc. I used to have a pretty large music collection at one point. Though now I enjoy listening to some of my favorites on vinyl. We need a music forum, stat.

Totally, I started out using Kazaa Lite and Morpheus. We had a nice amount of bandwidth for the Era at home, something like 8mbps. Then I started torrenting a bit later on suprnova.org. Now most people's experience on the internet is seeing posts from people they've known their entire life. It's narrowing, most of the culture i've learned about was from interacting with Europeans on IRC from Oink.me.uk and What.cd.

It's anywhere you look on the internet, of course. :)

Our ruleset is basic ( /w/rules ) so if you're up for the task of moderating an adult forum, be my guest.

Welcome, and you make some good points.

Social media is a cancer. The prime internet, to me, was the mid 90's to early 00's. That was a time when file sharing was becoming mainstream, the internet was in more and more people's homes and more people were connected on IRC, chatrooms, and standalone message forums. You almost never knew or cared what the name of the person was you were interacting with, because everyone was behind a handle. If they shared an image for a profile picture (for example) it was almost always a movie, TV or cartoon character.

It was a simpler time in the digital age. A better time.
