📌 STICKY: READ THIS BEFORE YOU GET YOURSELF KILLED (OR WORSE)

[OffTheGrid]

Alright, newbies, veterans, lurkers, and whatever agency stooges are crawling around the server logs—eyes up. You’ve just accessed a corner of the internet that most folks don’t know exists, and the ones who do tend not to stay alive long enough to brag about it. I’m OffTheGrid, and that’s all the personal info you’re getting. If you think you’ve figured out more—no, you didn’t.

1. Rule Number One: Don’t Be Stupid.

You see something weird? Hear something that shouldn’t be? Smell sulfur where it doesn’t belong?
Don’t go charging in with a baseball bat and confidence issues.
Stop. Document. Verify.
Running in blind gets you dead or used as a meat-puppet. Neither outcome is ideal.

2. Digital Security Is Mandatory.

This is not Facebook. If you use your real name, I’m banning you and wiping your posts before something else notices you.

• Use aliases.

• Use encryption.

• Use a VPN. (A real one. Not the free ones run by the Feds.)

• Don’t click links unless they’re from me. And even then, maybe think twice.

If you’re confused by any of this, hit the tech subforum. I pinned a guide that would make sense to a chupacabra with a head injury.

3. Demons & Possessions: The Basics.

If someone starts talking in dead languages, lifting furniture without touching it, or suddenly develops a creepy fondness for sulfur-scented cologne—back off.
Don’t try an exorcism unless you know what you’re doing.
Don’t taunt.
And NEVER underestimate how fast a demon can ruin your week.

4. Hunters: Don’t Recruit Here.

This is not an HR department for apocalypse interns.
Post intel. Post warnings. Post patterns.
Do not post, “Need backup in Ohio ASAP.”
People who don’t know what they’re doing will die trying to impress you.

5. Posting Sightings? Follow the Format.

If your post reads like “OMG WHAT WAS THAT???” I’m deleting it.
Use this template:

• Location (broad region only)

• Time/Date

• Description

• Threat Level (1 = weird noise, 5 = hide in a church and pray)

• Evidence (encrypted archive ONLY)

If you don’t encrypt, you’re advertising your location to anything with a sixth sense and internet access. Congratulations.

6. Conspiracies Go in the Right Subforum.

There’s a difference between “strange EM readings near abandoned buildings” and “my toaster is controlled by angels.”
I sort things for a reason. Don’t make my job harder—or shorter.

7. This Is Not for Entertainment.

If you’re here because you think monsters are cool or you’re hoping to impress someone?
Leave.
The people on this board have seen things that don’t go away when you close your eyes.

8. I Ban First, Then Don’t Ask Questions.

If you look suspicious, you’re out. Nothing personal.
Paranoia isn’t a flaw here—it’s survival.

If you read this and stay, good.
If you didn’t read this and break a rule, expect caps lock, consequences, and maybe a visit from something much worse than me.

Stay sharp. Stay safe. Stay untraceable.
