I was an active forum member in the heyday of &T, and I’ll say that people definitely did get arrested (myself included) but &T was rarely implicated. Post 9/11 there was quite a bit of attention because of antiterrorism propaganda, but to my knowledge Jeff and the mods all stayed out of trouble.
It really was a fun place with some incredibly cool people. The horseshoe effect in full swing as well; from my memory it was a healthy mix of communists, anarchists, and libertarians. Also it was more racially diverse than you’d think. The text file repository was mostly 90% bullshit, but there were some incredible nuggets in there. Much of what I learned about chemistry came from that place.
I often wonder what some of those folks are up to these days. Wish I’d been able to keep track of them. I ended up getting locked up for two years for unrelated shit and by the time I got out the place was pretty much dead. Those who remained were insufferable. There are &T enclaves around the internet, but they’re mostly boring and filled with sad people making the same jokes from 20+ years ago. Teehee huff raid teehee skreeeaaawwwww teehee u got belaired teeeheeee.
