Say I wanted to join another forum for example.
 
I want to be contactable by email (obviously not using my name or usual email address), but other than that I want to be completely anonymous and untraceable.
 
Does anyone know how much information my IP Address gives others about my location/internet provider etc?
 
 
 

yes you can be anonymous but it is more and more more complicated.
In most cases it's enough to use a proxy server (many are free) with 1 or more hops,
otherwise they can hunt you down, pull out of your apartment and bury 
on the dessert...

This is a distinct possibility if I start posting in the forum I'm considering joining

When you really want to be sure nobody can trace you down never do it from your home.
Use public or somebody else internet connection, internet cafe etc. Also use clean computer
without any private information saved in your cookies or other files, clean browsing history, emails etc.

and even better use public or somebody else computer in library for instance. When you are done destroy it.

yeah, I was also considering once anonymous hitman's forum...

Use Bapu's computer.

Use Tor. 

It might depend on if you use certain words, but anymore I think all e-mail is being looked at. Not sure though as I don't use e-mails that much, and I think forums are monitored and about everything anymore. It don't bother me that much. People can trace a connection and find the IP but after that I am not sure (unless you are a govmint that is authorized) if anyone else can know anything more after the IP address. And only maniacs in a sense of that would want to read it all except who I mentioned.

Tor would be my bet too. Good luck joining anonymous's ranks!

Get out the stamps and send letters - that's much better than anything else;)

I'm currently trying to remember which hand I use my pen with...

I guess it's the one where my tea cup isn't. 



But I'm not sure
