What is this list of "pings" I see near the bottom of the posting page when I make a full "advanced" post?

Especially the ".ru" ones? Kind of scary. . are we being tracked?

Idk, did you vote for Trump or Hillary? Are you online? Do you have a gun? Get a gun because the moment you go online you're being tracked maybe not by the federal government or a foreign power but by a corporation and if you're scared of being tracked for whatever reason keep a gun nearby just in case.

It's possible. The site is unprotected/unsecured, so yes packet sniffers and keyloggers are always a possibility, as a lot of forums tend to be.

If you are worried about it your best bet is to protect yourself as you would with any site. Even secure protocols are always vulnerable. Use something reputable such as Bitdefender, or a decent VPN.
