Strangest thing you've found on the internet.

Posted last page - it's interesting, but bullshit.
You missed level 5
No, it's the sa-holy shit. Wait, is this bit real? Everything I know... is a lie. Let me engage my GGGQEP closed shell polynomial algorthymic system and unban my alt account, blamespa-I've said too much.
Ive seen a few posts from this forum, and it takes the cake as the strangest and most sickening thing I've seen on the internet. The FBI apparently shutting it down a few years ago helps make it feel legit
Most of Tornet is kind of dull to me, at least what you can get to from the Hidden Wiki. The hitmen stuff is basically all trolling, the drug sites tend to be overpriced, the BBS forums hold discussions that aren't too far off from what you can find on the regular internet (in fact any illuminati discussion tends to link to regular ol youtube videos as "sources"), and the one black market site that loaded for me had such incredible items as "jpg of Rainbow Dash" and "Moby Dick in formatted txt file" for a few bitcoins each. Most BBS forums are long dead too, feels like everything linked on HW more or less died around 2010.
The child porn sites probably lives up to the "Dark Sinister Underbelly" image that people like to prop up, but I have zero interest at looking at those so who knows.
Hey man, those jpgs of Rainbow Dash go for big money up here on the clearnet.
Hm, some new things are cropping up. The creators of SR recently tested out a weapons market place. It was removed after a while, but for a month or two you could purchase all sorts of weapons in the US. Right down to ex-MOD Land Rovers with blast protected undersides 'perfect for a getaway vehicle'. The worrying thing is this is just on the surface. The wiki won't take you anywhere too interesting, but you can follow a few trails to get to some places. Mostly you have to ask, though, on forums via PM.
Thats kind of what I was getting at. I imagine most people who get on Tor to see what the whole deal is probably just get on Hidden Wiki, which isn't that interesting. I think for the majority of people who want to jump in, see something crazy for no effort and then jump out its just not worth it.
I've always meant to put more time into it, and try to find IRC channels to talk in but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I do find the idea of tornet, and some of the more general BBS forums pretty interesting. But like I said most of the forums are dead, and the few that are active I'm not too interested in.

Ya the active ones (if many) are pretty well hidden from most users. You have to get lucky, or dig really hard to find one, or get invitied.
I went to the wiki and found a lot of shit, but didn't really bother to follow the links so I'll just ask... what kind of places? What can you find on them? Drugs/CP/weapons/hitmen kinda stuff? Sounds legit

Lots and lots of CP and some drugs. I've seen some weapons being sold on there but idk how legit that is.
I figured. Some of the links on the wiki I found kinda interesting... books and music stuff (and some political forums) but, again, didn't really bothered to follow the links. Kinda coward-ish of me

Better to be safe than sorry. Its hard to get to a lot of the areas unless you are given an access point. There are legit reasons why people or groups use the deep web, not just illegal things.
I thought it was kind of funny that any time I tried using the Torch search engine, if i ever got results it was a CP or beastiality site
I knew a guy back in the day who fiended on shock shit, pretty much all of the above. He's at work on his phone like, "Hey man, hey man look at this, haha, look at this, c'mon man just look".

Lots of CP, it seems - obviously never been there, but avoided a lot of it. Some drugs sites. Only a few I can name off the top of my head. Hitmen, I guess - but it's not as straight forward as you'd think. A lot of it is 'trolling' - except it's not, it's just fake posting.
Weapons, not so much, not from my experience anyway. If you go very deep down, you can get to some serious stuff regarding ex-military equipment and tools - never been there myself, however.
Other things yo'll start to uncover are little pockets of communities, focused on certain things - wikileaks style programs, people looking for certain withheld documents, larger scale fraudulent activities... lots of research papers, and banned material too - some worth more attention than others, mind - books on cooking with marijuana aren't exactly riveting to discover.
Then beyond that, it gets difficult to get any further in my experience - down to the point where nothing's indexed anymore, no-one's willing to talk about it or there's no trace of it's existence. You have to go ahead and down right ask people, root around - but it's always worthless, to be honest.
You can get further - it's just how you do it that's the problem. Someone of my knowledge and skill can only get so far. Let's call it the clear dark net!
These kinds of people have serious problems in their own self security, to the extent they feel the need to force their interests on others to validate their beliefs. It's like they're not sure what they're doing, but all they know is that they feel alone.

thanks for the reply. Yours and DUFFMCWALIN's
No problem man. For such an easy place to find, it's subject to a lot of mysticism and rumour, so I like to clarify the details a little more.
Let me say a few closing things - the surface of the Deep Web is pretty much what you'd expect - trashy forums, child pornography and some illicit trade.
Then there's a kind of middle, a place where it kinda mellows out - documents, books, media of usefulness - some personal works etc.
After that you have a kinda thin layer of the darker parts of the DW - not dark in nature but dark in legality, dark as in reaaaally shifty, and some leads to more serious programs, like people trafficking.
But then it fails to pick up again, and you hit a wall. A dark, impenetrable wall, of sorts.
I've just found at this point, there's only a few people that talk about where else you can go, but it just sounds like they're making it up.
I think you rarely get people that hop from one side of the curtain to the other - they're too smart.
This is fucking brilliant. Thank-you so much. May I make a thread?

Orayn, what the hell, man. Haha.
I found that... super disturbing - I mean, what an awful web design.
Damn... that's. Um. Fucking strange.
It's real, look at Level 5.

It's the fact someone is paying a monthly server for who knows how long now to maintain this domain is what makes it so strange for me.
But jesus those are some weird ass links you guys are posting.

See, these are the things that interest me the most - dormant servers, hosting a single site, or a network of information. Public domains that display seemingly useless data, random strings of numbers, but remain active. Even better, government or unknown subdomains, that aren't indexed but have content - but again, indecipherable or confusing... I love it.

Uber, thanks for the replies, I love to read these kind of things, however, I do want you to be careful, last thing anyone would want is you getting arrested or something because of this. I know I might be paranoid, but you never know.

It's the same when you, for example, feel immense satisfaction after slicing enemies off in a video game--the same feeling. Some people crave that kind of feeling.
Given the responses to this I'm glad I clicked out of that video almost as soon as I started watching. I already made the mistake of going into that sub reddit about watching people die.
Aside from that, some of this stuff is pretty interesting.

Urgh, I got a headache just looking at that for a few moments. That's one ugly page.

People have been talking about this throughout the thread and no one has produced anything. I would like to read the original.
Great thread btw, interesting stuff.

A lot of that stuff is bullshit.
TimeCube was already posted (but not the video of Gene Ray at MIT or the debate that still wages on), so instead I give you:
ARTIFICIAL SYNCHRONICITY, LANGUAGE MANIPULATION, KUNDALINI AND THE CORNERS OF REALITY
Wrap your head around that.

I was gonna post this. I don't even know, but I went to watch the full movie. And then I have no idea what I have watched after doing so.
FUCK
I'm pretty hardened by shit on the internet but that made me throw up in my mouth a little. No one watch it, two victims on GAF are two too many.

Edit: Don't think it was The Lamonster, searched the creepy thread for his username, he posted a few times but nothing about that story. Unless he deleted it.

It's Lamonster. I'm positive of it. There's more than one creepy thread. I still have the link to the pic in my inbox and its from Lamonster. I'll search for his post and link to it when I find it
And man, Funky Forest has a killer cast. Tadanobu Asano? Hell yeah. And one of the directors is behind Evangelion 1.0 lol
