Pat is just fishing for Quasi's real address so he can threaten him offline to take the forums down. Same thing happened to Null, the owner of KiwiFarms when a pair of armed trannies turned up on his doorstep one day.
I believe this, but I also wonder why if this is true he’s never tried to menace Dan or Carol

Probably because it would only stop one or two people from posting about him. Only Quasi deleting everything would stop people from mocking him, at least for a while until a new place was set up.

I think Pat realized pretty quickly that Null would not be threatened. Null doesn't live in the US, and when he did, he had deranged people show up to his house with rifles and still didn't delete the forum. Even getting to Caverlock would do nothing, because KiwiFarms has restored deleted threads before, after their original authors were blackmailed.

If he does get to Quashi, first thing - Quashi’s a made man. It would just inflame the community more. Second of all, we would reconvene somewhere immediately. It’s happened every time. We would just Reddit search “Joe Cumia “ and find each other instantly.

stupid.

I have no idea what this mean so can some one put it into layman's terms?

I see the twink lawyer is wine-ing about an email with his name in, someone OBVIOUSLY updated their fake email way after signing up, hilariously anticipating this exact scenario. Come on Brint, you've got a brain...
Yup.

I made Brinton mad with my email address:

Hey, Resto. My original sign-up email was something nonsensical like [email protected]. It was an address generated by a temporary email provider for such purposes. I don't remember the exact address because I only had to use it once (to register my account).

I changed it to [email protected] just for your prying eyes, shmuckums.

Back when the old forum was still up, Quasi had made a post about the information he had and what he collected. He specifically said he only had the email addresses that people used to sign up with, and that most of them were probably spoofed.

He also specifically stated that the only IP addresses he was collecting were from Cloudflare. Let's assume you opened up a browser and surfed over to the old forums (onaforums.net). Let's also assume your IP address from your ISP was 192.168.1.1 and you weren't using a VPN or Tor

Quasi is/was using a service called Cloudflare to protect the board from DDoS attacks, among other things. Here's a link to their site where they explain it. [URL]https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/what-is-cloudflare/[/URL]

So when you used your browser to get to the forums, what actually happened was instead of going straight to the forum, you first hit a cloudflare server and were then redirected to the forums. This is all transparent to the end user but to the server running the forums, your request to view the board was no longer coming from your IP address (192.168.1.1) it was coming from whatever Cloudflare server you hit on the way in (let's just call it 10.1.1.1).

Quasi actually pasted a snippet of the logs he was collecting and indicated that the only IPs he collected were the Cloudflare IPs. I don't even know if he had the option of collecting the original source IPs or not, but he didn't.

Brinton is pissing and moaning because Quasi gave him all the info he had on John Does 2-60, which was their email addresses here and whatever Cloudflare IPs they connected with. Like Mewler already said, those emails could be changed at any time and the IPs don't lead back to anyone in particular. I'm assuming that Brinton would have to try and subpoena Cloudflare with the list of IPs Quasi gave him and see if they could match those to other addresses. To go back to our example, if you connected to the board at 12:05 am on April 1, they would have to go to Cloudflare and see if they could see that 192.168.1.1 connected to 10.1.1.1 and went to onaforums.net on 12:05am on April 1. I'm thinking that since Cloudflare is a heavily used service, they may or may not be able to trace individual connections back like that but I could be wrong.

It's also a moot point for anyone using Tor or a VPN.

Tin foil hat time, I don't know if Quasi is still active or if someone else took over but I haven't seen anything in this new forum that says what's being kept/logged. They may be collecting real IPs so I would probably use Tor/VPN just to be safe.

According to this Cloudflare article from 2013, they keep them for 4 hours and then wipe them, as they just don't have the fucking room:

It's somewhat hard to fathom the scale of the log data that we generate. Every minute of every day we generate more than 20GB (compressed) of log data. That translates, at our current volume, to more than 10 Petabytes of storage needed to store a year's worth of logs, and, due to our continued growth, that volume that has been doubling every 4 months or so. Today, even if we wanted to, we don't have the ability to retain all the logs we generate. This means that, for most customers, we discard access logs within 4 hours of them being recorded.

Hope you were real fucking quick on that subpoena, Fatrick.

There is an enterprise plan which lets you save the logs, but that costs more money than this site is worth, and still means Fatty has to negotiate with whichever VPNs and ISPs own the client IPs on that log, and who may not have a record of who was on what IP on what day/time; or (if they share IPs using NAT) who was on what port on what IP at what time. Then most home routers use NAT to share one external IP with multiple (potentially thousands) internal IPs, so Fatty has to identify which cash-paying nameless coffee shop customer on that date accused him of being a rapist.

Then I'm sure there's cases of people sharing accounts on this site (why not - it's not a bank) or forgetting to log out of shared PCs.

It's all very quick, and simple, and cheap to do, child.
