Create un fake Se il vostro forum non ingrana createvi un secondo (e magari anche un terzo) utente. Così facendo potrete attivare un po' le discussioni. Se chiedete anche ad un paio di amici fedelissimi di dedicare 4-5 ore al forum scrivendo con il loro nome utente e con qualche nome utente in più scoprirete che in un paio di giorni il vostro forum avrà 400- 500 messaggi, abbastanza per superare la calma piatta iniziale.

It appears that if there is sufficient pressure from investigators, the much-touted principle of anonymity quickly evaporates. The arrests of many presumed members of the hacker groups "Anonymous," "LulzSec" and Germany's "No-Name Crew" prove this.

These services have turned into something resembling a digital civil registration office -- the antithesis of anonymity.
