The Collective hasn't allowed such information to bee available publicly for obvious reasons, due to an incident that occurred on the Hive long ago    Any e-mail addresses used for registration on any of these forums should not be used for anything else 

Your email is hidden - but you can still see it (as every member can still see their own)
But others can not see your email.
You also have the choice of going to your profile and just typing in something like 34535@ggtr4ur.com and the forum won't even care - so no need to have your real email even on this site if you do not want it...

Honestly, everything from handles, to emails, to keys, to profiles, to connections used for this hobby should be used only for this hobby. Mix this with nothing.

Never underestimate the value of having the right to walk away. In our database-centric culture, that is becoming increasingly hard. Don't contribute to the problem by allowing even one link between your chemistry and anything else.

Everything I do with this stays confined in its own virtual machine, on its own outbound connection, using a unique handle, and unique passwords for each account.

 can I believe this statement? as I believe Tor is similar,if not the same,,,

Law enforcement

JonDonym is no technology for preventing law enforcement on the internet. In very serious cases, it is possible to uncover the abuse of Mix services.

User connections may be individually observed, if all operators of a Mix cascade get such an official order, valid in their respective country (in Germany accourding to §100a/b StPO).

A respective legal obligation may moreover force some Mix operators to retain certain connection data. In contrast to surveillance (where this is often not allowed), the operator has to make this transparent to the users of his JonDonym Mixes via JonDo. Usually, such a data retention does neither comprise target addresses (websites) nor contents, but IP addresses of users only.

However, the independence of JonDonym operators vastly lowers the danger of an illegitimate law enforcement done by non-democratic states or arbitrary individual public officers. Any disclosure basically needs the cooperation of all operators of a Mix cascade.
Surveillance reports

Each year, we will publish a short report of all surveillance actions that were taken and have been reported to us by the operators.

    In 2010 there has only been one surveillance court order to single mix operators that was put into effect during 6 months. It concerned a handful JonDonym account numbers.
    In 2009, there has been a surveillance court order to single Mix operators. A total of two web sites or e-mail providers, respectively, where affected. The observation has been stopped after the court order, which was renewed once, expired (after four months altogether).
    In 2008, no surveillance court order was given to any operator.
    In 2007, no surveillance court order was given to any operator.
    In 2006, there has been only one single surveillance court order to single Mix operators. A few exactly specified web addresses were affected. The observation has been stopped after the court order expired (one month).

One thing I've always done is constantly recycle my identity but dropping out of sight for very long periods of time and reappearing later under a different name and migrating to different forums.  I've been posting on newsgroups and forums since 1994, but I've intentionally been under countless handles and e-mail addresses over that period of time.

Yes, it generally violates forum rules on having multiple accounts at times, but what if those accounts were months or even years apart?  Isn't it my right to reinvent myself for my own safety as much as it is your right to associate my handle to a specific individual?  Getting banned for such an attitude only furthers and reinforces my strategy, and I've always accepted such judgements with a sense of accomplishment.   If there's any question or concern, I move simply move on and mutate into a different personality at a different location. 

The last thing I want to do is establish a virtual identity that can be associated with a handle I've used on a forum such as this one because I feel reputation is by its very nature is a compromise of safety.  I wish to disappear into the background noise.

On the forums I mod, we have the standard one account rule and it is written ambiguously like you mention. We basically reserve the right to terminate badly behaved dupes in cases of sockpuppetry or serial abuse. I've terminated thousands of socks and trolls over the years, but not a single suspected non-abusive identity change.

Joe might register account A, use it, disappear, and come back as account B. Some might call B a dupe, but it isn't really a dupe when you apply a bit of relativity to the identity's reference frame. Most people in most situations are wired to think that identity follows a person. On pseudonymous message boards, especially those living on the edge, identity follows the account. The human is just the operator of the account. If B is a brand new identity engaging as a new identity, and doesn't appear to be a sock of A, then there is not any harm, or continuity for that matter. However, if A, B, C, D, E, F, etc. all register in rapid succession for the same behavior, then B-F are alternate identities of A.

On that forum, A would be A, B would be B, but because the atmosphere is purely cyberspace, neither A nor B are Joe.

We are who we want to be (or when sufficiently high, maybe nobody, maybe everybody, and maybe part of a greater one), even though most people confuse that with what a bureaucrat is willing to print on an identity document. Ego death experiences really change a person's outlook. Explain that to somebody who has never tripped hard and their eyes typically glaze over, unable to understand the deeper details of perception.

Continuity is important, though, which is why I believe we could benefit from a wiki compilation of verified experimental data.

Changing handles in this hobby is important.

Changing handles in this hobby is important.

It's not necessary to change one's handle if one is extremely careful about how one does things   As far as maintaining online anonymity, there's no doubt that Tor is very useful    It shouldn't be the only measure taken, since it's very easy to get online anonymously using very cheap hardware:

Tor doesnt seem to work for new versions of firefox! are we all using old versions just to use tor?

Some members use other browsers  Manual configuration of one's proxy settings is often necessary, even in Firefox when Torbutton isn't updated as fast as Firefox is    Believe it or not, answers to your questions are available without posting them    The World Wide Web has caused people to become very lazy  The end results from the effort applied

Pd  please convert that to english for me little buddy

you gave me the proxy to type in manually before, can i get it again? or PM me? thanks heaps peedee! and new firefox sucks i think im just gonna get the old, tor does not work on it, an as crap is the tor button sounds, its the easiest thing we have, it just doesn't work in FF5
