Nothing. We don't sell data. We don't have analytics. We don't have ads. We have a vBulletin install from 2013 and a guy called Lefteris who pays the domain renewal out of his own pocket every August.
We will share data with law enforcement under a valid Australian warrant. We will share data with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission if required to under the 2021 enforcement matter, however that matter is now closed and we have not received a further request since 2021.
We set one session cookie when you log in. We set a "remember me" cookie if you tick the box. That is it. The forum's vBulletin install does not support modern third-party trackers. If you see a cookie banner, that is not from us, your browser is misconfigured.
Posts are retained indefinitely. Account deletion requests handled by Lefteris_IT directly via PM. The Buy/Sell/Swap archive (pre-2021) is read-only and retained for historical and legal reasons.
