What does locking down your opsec mean? Is it simply not posting private info on your accounts and getting a VPN? Is it using a VPN, scrubbing existing accounts of personal info, switching to a secure OS, and using safer search engines? Or is it some place in between those two?

that's the thing. I've been on numerous closed off forums, and they always quickly died off because of a lack of users.

It's really, really, really difficult to do user verification well.
