Frequently Asked Questions

The NYC People Fusion engine provides a console design based anonymous exchange platform for writers, thinkers, and grass-root organizers. Using this platform, engineered on the spirit of the "early" web and the predating "BBS" form, you can write and exchange ideas anonymously between each other freeing the flow of positive ideas.

• Written for the Console - NYCPF is intended for use on laptop or desktop PCs
• Simple HTML - Keeps the site agile and hyper-interactive
• Simple PHP - Keeps the site agile and allows for quick changes and development
• Micro Scaled - User members aren't there for "critical mass"

The developer's philosophy is that a system like this gains very little from a commercial user interface. In fact it loses. By avoiding the overhead of implementing a graphical environment the developer is free to concentrate exclusively on feature implementation and behavior. When users experience the snappy response to input, any concern for graphics evaporates quickly. Think Craigslist - it's scruffy with what some would say is an "un-evolved" presentation, but it's magnficantly useful because so.

Old Fashioned Anonymity

Unlike most engagement platforms today the entire philsophy of this site is to encourage free anonymous expression yet still maintain a racist, troll-free environment. This can't be achieved on most commercial platforms because they chase growth and critical mass and thus cannot be patrolled effectively by just a few eyes. A "God's Eye" on the community is only possible on a relatively small one, which means trouble and bad actors are quickly abated.

But crucially, keep in mind...

"Anonymity" here refers to first-tier public facing interactions only. It means you don't have to log your real name or any other directly identifiable information to each other, and, when logged in, can communicate with each other freely using just screen names (including the 'Tiny Tim' protocol). It's all similar to how dating sites once worked.

That being said, the system operator will have access to registration information, IP addresses and other information commonly made available to a web server such as the browser you are using, the general city or region, and the ISP you are connecting from. If you are truly concerned about anonymity beyond the first-tier level, consider registering with an anonymous e-mail address and connecting through a proxy. It is said that TOR is probably the best way to surf and interact anonymously online.

Individual NYCPF operators, and certainly law enforcement, will uncover bad actors engaging in any illegal or deviant activites using the system.
