Sorry for the inconvenience.
Exactly... what's the point? It hadn't been there for many years until its invention and the forums had been more diverse and vivid AFAi remember.
Actually my previous post was meant as a response to what
JerseyGirl said...
Anything you post, no matter for how small of a group, is out there. You can
not control it! (And what's out there stays out there forever.
) If you want privacy then keep
your content on
your disc and make sure you have a good firewall. Otherwise... any upload goes over some network and could potentially be intercepted. Anything on a remote server can be accessed by the members of the crews that maintain the server and the backups.
No single media item that can be accessed by
someone can safely be "secured" against copying, multiplication or redistribution elsewhere. If you grant access to only one other person misuse will already be possible but at least it could help identify the culprit. There's no real chance to do even that if you grant more than one person access. The verification feature may be nice but it does not prevent fraudulent behavior as "pic collectors" and the likes are also enabled to verify.
If you truly understand how privacy works on the WWW you always follow these rules:
#1. Never post anything that is not meant for a public audience!
#2. And if you deem something appropriate for posting then post it publicly!
i hope that helps.
