I'm new to delving into this sort of stuff. Bear with me. I get how the mods and jannies are screwed. I get that everyone who ever browsed or posted on there is now visible by IP address.
I get that mods, jannies and name posters used emails and that those emails might be usable to identify them irl.
What I DONT get is how anonymous posters should worry if they gave no personal info in their posts, most people use a VPN or at least a dynamic IP, and there nothing anyone can really find with an IP address alone beyond a general location like city, state country etc.
As far as I can tell it's really only the people dumb enough to either not mask their IP AND chose to submit personal info.
