[03:35] <Gredeu> i have a valid user account on ubuntuforums.org however it won't allow me to retrieve a password reset.  its a valid account.  
[03:37] <Gredeu> i get the best assistance or ubuntu on the forums.  
[03:40] <Gredeu> i also want to use the forums for privacy reasons
[05:48] <bkerensa> Is there any reason I'm forced to login to forums to view certain threads?
[05:49] <zenrox> no idea
[05:49] <bkerensa> =/
[05:49] <zenrox> thought thay were all open to read
[05:49] <bkerensa> just a little time consuming to sometimes to view something and be prompted
[05:49] <bkerensa> thats what I thought too
[05:49] <bkerensa> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=309749
[05:50] <bkerensa> is a example of a thread that talks about tray docking and it prompted me =/
[05:50] <zenrox> Hello, zenrox You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section. Be aware that some of the information is outdated and may cause problems to a current installation. 
[05:50] <zenrox> you have to be loged in to read the old stuff
[05:50] <bkerensa> odd :P
[05:50] <bkerensa> I guess they do that to reduce traffic consumption? 
[05:51] <zenrox> and i am loged in
[05:51] <zenrox> not only to protect new users
[05:52] <zenrox> makes sence why thay would do that
[05:52] <bkerensa> well I have been prompted on newer threads in the past too like stuff thats only a few months old
[05:52] <zenrox> hmm odd
[05:53] <zenrox> i just keep myself loged in i dont have that prob
[05:53] <bkerensa> :D well my browser clears every time I close it and plus I have Bleachbit set to run in cron twice daily to wipe all temp data :D so thats not gonna be easy for me 
[05:54] <zenrox> should just set it to ignore that website
[05:54] <zenrox> or that cookie
[06:07] <Aquix> bkerensa   why do you have  cron to run bleachbit twice a day?
[06:08] <bkerensa> Aquix: I like a clean system :D
[06:08] <bkerensa> Aquix: Chrome doesnt delete as much data as it suggets in fact it leaves tidbits so the only way to fully nuke stuff is via bleachbit or shred
[06:09] <bkerensa> I dont like wipe my free space but I do have it say to nuke chrome, firefox and a couple other trivial things now and then
[06:09] <bkerensa> like rotated logs
[06:10] <Aquix> I see. afraid someone will look at your computer?
[06:14] <bkerensa> no I just dont like leaving cookies for tracking purposes
[06:14] <bkerensa> plus I dont like the idea of having the risk of someone being able to login to an account if I leave traces of data
[06:14] <bkerensa> :D
[06:14] <bkerensa> ie: Bank Acct, etc
[06:17] <Aquix> I just stay logged out from google, and for the bank I log in with my cellphone. Cookies or not, there are enough companies doing ip tracking anyway.
[06:46] <bkerensa> Aquix: Well I have LastPass + YubiKey so I'm pretty secure but just for safety :D
[06:49] <Aquix> better things for safety out there. Get noscript and better privacy  addons
