But a large part of the theraputic value of the place was the dialogue that took place. From lighthearted back and forth on social to deep and meaningfuls on writing to... A large part is in seeing how people can post things about their sensitivities and fears and how (with time to process) different people can resonate with different aspects and contribute different things to the narrative the original poster comes to accept... And more besides. You can't just remove one post or one persons post without creating a hole in the conversation. Without rendering the conversation non-sense with people responding to phantoms.
I don't know why you think that these other security measures are genuinely secure. I understand that you think they are. You think they delete or do not store your data but I don't understand why it is that you genuinely seem to believe that.
I think there is a value to the message Dr Bob gave about making no guarantees for things that are genuinely outside his power. The site did pretty well for quite a while... Then there were hacking attempts, I remember. But insofar as I know they were just about the pictures and not the text.
Oftentimes it's the older stuff that is genuinely better. Email was genuinely better when it was simple. Now it is readily revisable by people who become mortified to discover that they are in fact acountable for what they emailed when acting in professional capacity (largely in being dismissive or pooh poohing or disclosing 'information' they shouldn't have).

Babble... Still here.
I think the law people are a little busy with a bunch of crooks out there. And now that people don't have all the money of the University of Chicago be so bothered about suing... Yeah...
