You guys really r n the know

[slovog1998]

I've only been on the net (clear & dark) a few years as far as this genre. Before, it was all personal experiences, trial & errors, with the good fortune of not getting caught.  Never had a chance to have any literature, pics, vids of any CP. Bib <redacted>, go figure.  But, since I've found my life on here, it has been manna from heaven, so to speak. But, as my story usually goes, a day late and a dollar short.  All these pple & place getting busted right & left.  Pics & vids r mostly 5-10yr old or older because new stuff ain't surfacing for fear & discretion.(well, @ least none that I have found, again i'm a noob)
I'm trying to read all the posts on here to sorta play catch-up, it's a hell of a task, but i'm pushing thru.  But these "photographers", ukraine, crimea, agencies 7 such that i'm readaing about here that have put out most of everything are gone, but the links to read about their demise are gone too.  Im a little apprehensive of searching on clearnet for articles.
So what I'm asking, i guess, can someone steer me in the right direction to read up onthings like: how did vladmodels start, what happened to it, etc
LSM, ALA, Tropical Cuties (i'm sorta finding a few article about this).
i read yall's posts and u ppl r mentioning these guys by names and can tell exactly what models they used, agencies they used, etc. That's knowledge i'd love to know also.
If i'm asking too much @ once, then I apologize. When I get into something, i try to put all or nothing attitude n it.
same way as i'm trying to learn about linux so i can move away from windows platform.  After reading about shellbags & all in windows, I believe it would benefit me to go to Linux.
Anyway, thx 4 yall's time

Slovog, for the second time today I have censored something in one of your posts that I felt was too revealing about yourself and might aid authorities in narrowing down who you are and where they can find you.  I suggest you check out this thread as part of your 'catch-up' because I think you will pick up some great suggestions about how to conduct yourself safely in the darkweb.

Read it and take it to heart; for your own security, my friend.  It's not just the technical side of things that can get you in trouble.

On the subject, we have a series of well-researched articles covering some of the more famous content generators.  We don't make that available to users until they have become an 'established' member.  More information on that process is here:http://onion.tor.my/forum/index.php?topic=7243.0
