For the record - I never said I felt unsafe on the original BT, nor was I concerned about hackers and my IP address.

If I was concerned I would have stopped posting/participating in the original BT a long time ago when I discovered the L0pht Heavy connection with BT.

I was simply trying to point out 2 things.

1.) That BT and MGH parted ways quite a while ago when the server was moved to a new building.
2.) That it made no sense to feel unsafe here at BT2

I certainly was not trying to make anyone feel as if hackers were bad, or that hacker dens were a bad place for servers, or that BT1 is/was dangerous in any way.

Dorry is correct that the personal information we share in our posts is what we should be the most concerned about in regards to internet safety.

I was just sharing an opinion that I feel safer here at BT2.

I apologize if I caused any confusion.
