I wake up yesterday and a similar site listed on link-base had their domain seized.

This is why shady business isn't allowed here, such as carding. I'm sure sinister.ly and Oni are on a watchlist somewhere, but still. You mess with the government, you get the long-arm of the law up your ass.

Thankfully, this is a good platform and Oni doesn't abuse it like the admins of other fora. It is a breath of fresh air to come to a community like ours, not to be met with hate and gate keeping. The users here have never given me a problem during my search for anything, nor have I been told to fuck myself for asking a dumb question or two.

*maybe once*

SL has evolved and changed over time, but I'm really proud of the nice place it is today. People can have totally different views or interests but co-exist and chat very happily on here. I love our community.

I'm not hard to find and I don't pretend to be. If someone is doing something contrary to our rules (i.e. carding), I'm only a phone call away.

If you're the sort of person that attracts that sort of attention, then you should be aware of the footprint you leave.

You think that the gov might take down sites that reference SE or refunding? It's a pretty shady topic as well but doesnt mess with the gov.

Social engineering in and of itself isn't illegal. One example of benign SE is: you go to a bar and pick up a girl under a pretext. It becomes illegal when you use it to commit fraud or identity theft. It is also possibly very damaging to companies and their leadership and among their employees, so it's usually not included in many physical pentests. But talking about it is not illegal. It's a highly regarded subject and has evolved over time because of its profitability and efficacy.

I am pretty sure Ommipo.. had it coming. Because the way it happened, he was i guess away before that and the online staff were looking after stuff.. Although it was bound to happen but maybe he saw it coming already.. Lord knows better..

I'll be taking a further look at this and probably tighten our restrictions further. While it's always been my goal to facilitate discussion other sites might not, the longevity of the forum will always have priority. That said, it sounds like Omnipotent is accused of selling both stolen access devices and databases. Both things we prohibit.
