Re: State of the Fringe Forum

Agreed, a hidden service would cut off a bunch of users. So, we should confine ourselves to standard web technologies, and make them as secure and distributed as possible. A web site can still be relatively secure even without using Tor. It's the distributed part that's hard. It's difficult to provi...

Re: Chat idle timeout

I'd prefer to use an IRC chat with a web frontend (either lightirc or something else) but it hasn't really taken off yet. AJAX chat is pretty limited actually.
