when the Ashley Madison stuff leaked i went through it looking for my company's email. firstname.lastname at corp domain shit. Had four hits, including an active director.
Also found my then-boss in there badly trying to use an alias which made so many gross comments about women line up too well.
People were not being careful back then at all about usernames. There was a good joke going around back then like "I just hope people who were performing legitimate sociological research don't get swept up in all this.."
lol goddamn there's a guy threading the IPs through iknowwhatyoudownload looking to connect evil porn torrents, that these guys might have DL'd, to a real name
I guess i missed the joke seeing all this in passing are all you guys talking about an actual leaked list or like hypotheticals. i've looked on the web and so far i have to found a place to parse the list for names.
I don't remember how 4chan works. But a few years ago I went on there to wrap my head around the online right-- armchair academically. I didn't stay long, as it became clear I'd need to spend way too much time to "get it". All that to say, having a 4chan account shouldn't be damning in itself.

Real best man move.
Yeah you REALLY don't know how it works. The only account system is the 4chan pass, which is you just paying to bypass captcha and wait times.
Otherwise you're free to post anonymously.
It's true 😔 post was born of faulty memory. The site's down, so I couldn't very well double check myself.
