How Private Is Our Forum??

[totol05]

Something I just thought of, since we have a truly anonymous coin and send private transactions etc. out of governments reach. Which they will someday hate. How do we know they won't come tracking down IP's and users on forums ? They have a long reach, that much should be acknowledged for sure. Will it ever happen? Probably not anytime soon. But a fully encrypted anonymous forum would be super sweet and push us to the head of the privacy coins I believe. I'm no tech expert and this may be a dumb post but I think it would be neat if we were the first to do something like this also.

In other words: The forum is open like a barn door.

There are technical security issues with Cloudflare but more to the point:

Has Theymos ever received or honored a National Security Letter (NSL) to reveal the name/IP address of any bitcointalk users?

Everything depends in how privately you use this forum. Don't forget that once satoshi nacamato was using this forum but no one was/is able to find his identity + owner of bitmixer was using this forum too and no one found him. I believe almost everyone in bitcoin world used this forum, there is no doubt but no one was leaked too.
This forum is like blockchain really, open book.
