I have not been around long enough to know all the "other" sites nor do I intend to.
From what I am able to sum up:some pictures were either sent,posted, or leaked out meaning sent For Your Eyes Only.
Regardless of how they were found, by a friend, yourself, or FAMILY MEMBER I know I would be embarassed as hell if anyone I knew put 2+2 together and realized a "Handle" if you will represented you, hobbyist or provider.
Hell I just Googled my handle, I feel so stupid. I made comments where it would not take a rocket scientist, or private detective to do the ressearch and build a case.
Guys, well those married or in a relationship, do you after a day of blogging,searching,posting use a good web cleaner? I several years ago did not and my spouse at the time busted me. It was so embarassing. Now adays we have "play phones+reloadable credit cards".
We must ALL be aware nothing on the internet is 100% safe.
Everytime you walk away from your computer, and now web browsing phones, after looking at something you would not want others to see I strongly urge you to do the folowing:
1.In Internet Explorer go to Tools, select Delete Browsing History and follow the directions and delete your tracks.
2. Try this

It is a FREE Privacy Eraser I have used for the last 3 years and you can customize it to do almost anything. The even have quick key shortcuts and it can run everytime you start up or shut down. The site has lots of freeware just like it.
It would have saved my ass then but we all have a choice, no one truly forces us to visit sites for entertainment purposes only. We all have our reasons and some should remain BCD.
So the next time you have a family member, friend, or in some cases, a KID, ask if they can use your computer think about it, did you clear your tracks? And as we all know there are recovery programs out there.
Technology has gotten to the point where I have seen a device advertised you place under someones vehicle. It sends a signal that you can recieve and see where they stopped, for HOW LONG, even their speed. Scary! Some companies are using this to increase productivity in workers, others to find out if when you say you are "stuck in traffic and stopped at the store on the way home" were not stuck in something else LOL!
Bottom line we don't want unwanted attention brought to this or any other site. I was with RIP%sPD for several years. Sad to see it go. But we must remember and learn from that to protect ourselves and love ones at all cost.
As far as Photobucket, I have never put anything up. But if someone did post something, had it removed only to find it reposted the next day in from what I can figure retaliation then if it were me, I would be pissed. Harrasment is not fun and I hope for everyones sake this is resolved as quickly as possible. Best of luck to anyone involved in any situation like it.
