AnonTalk is an anonymous, "uncensored", registration-free, category-less, Web-based BBS. It allows anyone with a Web browser (that supports "cookies") to discuss any topic with fellow "anons". Please understand that AT is not a so-called "chan" or "imageboard" and we strongly distance ourselves from their inane culture based on stupidity.
There simply wasn't anything out there like this. Remotely similar services, such as the copycat "chans", suck more ass than I know how to put into written words and seemingly were designed by retarded monkeys. All the countless inane technical and usability issues aside, they randomly censor "controversial" posts and ban people "for fun". Here, you don't have to fear such idiocy but are able to freely speak your mind.
Naturally, spam, vandalism and obvious trolling is deleted. What I mean by "uncensored" is that, for example, "little girl lover" discussions are allowed, which is not the case in almost every other place on the WWW (for whatever reason). In other words, what matters is not what you write, but how you do it.
Because they proved necessary to help filter out all the low-quality noise. These are mainly just spammy/malicious domain names/parts of URLs, but also common troll lines and memes, etc. Unfortunately, a few of these phrases may be a little "greedy", causing legitimate posts to be blocked. I really try my best to minimize this, however, and it shouldn't be a real problem for quality posters. Also, it should be noted that some phrases are only temporarily banned. For obvious reasons, I can't let you see the exact list, but it doesn't contain curse words or other "moralistic" stuff.
Technically, no. In practice, however, you can discuss topics that would never be allowed elsewhere.
Every visitor gets assigned an ID the first time they visit, which is subsequently shown in association with all their posts. This ID is not based on any information related to you, your computer or your IP address (but rather on time), and thus cannot be traced back to you.
The purpose of this feature is to allow people to know which anonymous poster posted what. Additionally, replies made by the author (OP) of a given topic are specifically indicated for extra clarity, exposing many attempts to fake multiple individuals, which, sadly, is a frequently occurring phenomenon in other boards.
There is no need, nor is it even possible, to register an account and log in. Just post! (But please keep in mind that we strongly encourage quality over quantity.)
Using your full real name, would you admit something socially embarrassing about yourself? Most likely not. How about when using your on-line identity/nickname? On a regular Web forum, you have to pick a name (which potentially could identify you) and whoever runs it will know your e-mail address (and could use it against you). In general, as sad as it may sound, only when people are allowed to be completely anonymous they allow themselves to be truly honest. At least that's my theory.
No. The IP address you were using has been "shitlisted", meaning that you get redirected to a malicious Web page whenever you try to visit. Most likely this is due to you being a troll, spammer or vandal, but it is also possible that somebody else that you share the IP address with got you both/all banned. If you want to use a proxy, it must be an anonymous/"elite" one for you to be safe (one that does not reveal itself by sending special headers). Also, avoid Tor.
This is purely based on the number of unique visits (ignoring ones made by the author or moderators). Only topics created within the last week qualify.
They are surprisingly restrictive, actually. Topic visits are unique, as in only one "visit" is counted per session (they are not "views" or "unique visitors"). The author's own visits and ones made by moderators are never counted. (Some of the earliest topics have too low counts because these stats were not kept track of from the very beginning.)
Most likely because you are doing silly things with cookies, such as blocking them for whatever stupid reason. Stop doing that if you want to be able to post. Also, if are doing any "suspicious" things such as modifying the cookies or generally behaving like a bot, you will get an error as well. (Unless you are smart.)
Yes. At the moment, anyone who has posted 10 or more posts (your post count is 0) is considered a "regular" and will not be served advertisements. (Then again, the adverts are virtually non-existent for most visitors anyway.)
By just hanging out here, contributing with quality posts, you help a lot. Telling other decent people about the Web site is of course the key to keeping it alive. Naturally, donations are always welcome.
Just a guy fed up with all the bullshit and the suffocating censorship going on around the Internet. I'm sick and tired of all these fucking high-on-power hypocrites (commonly known as "modfags"), preaching their pseudo-moralistic values and shoving their random rules down our throats. I wanted a place where you can actually have serious discussions about controversial topics in an anonymous environment, and since there was no such thing, I had to do it myself.
AnonTalk was written from scratch by me and is always being worked on behind the scenes. It is closed source and no, you can't buy/license it.
