Wouldn't it be easy to abuse all those free file-hosts?: encrypt data, upload encrypted data (to multiple different file-hosts; redundancy and all that), save download URL, download encrypted data, decrypt data; automatically occasionally checking that the uploaded data is still there, and if it's not, reuploading it (e.g. from one of the other file-hosts that the encrypted data was uploaded to)..
The data is encrypted (by different keys per uploadion, so a would-be cyberspy won't see that it's the same encrypted data uploaded multiple times, to multiple free file-hosts,,) (transferred via TOR), so it's not worth anything to a would-be cyberspy who might otherwise be willing to pay for it. (Unless he's a stupid would-be cyberspy who is willing to pay for useless, i.e. uninformative, data.)

Wouldn't it be easy...
Did you do that? If not, why so?
(Why can't I VIP a new thread?)
The VIP checkbox allows you to respond to a thread without bumping it to the top of the list. It's considered polite and makes you a VIP. Your post is decorated with a star and you get all the honor a VIP deserves. It actually does the same thing as entering the word "sage" in the mail field of 2channel or its offsprings (you can read it as "do not bump"). The first post of a thread cannot be saged, because new threads always appear to the top of the list.
As someone who used to host a pomf clone, trust me, there are plenty of other issues you encounter. Mainly people uploading illegal material (child pornography, private information) that a few people uploading encrypted files is something I would have found hard to care about.

Because threads are one lesbillion times more usable with surrounding context and local scroll jumps, which is why this was posted:

An old joke from a bygone age. Your image may or may not have anything to do with its origin, my memory is too hazy on this point to say one way or the other.
