It would definitely appear that the site uses javascript. I am refering to the fact that one could use javascript to reveal the true IP of a person, even if they are using various proxies and onion routers, etc. There is nothing illegal about using javascript to do this, I was just stating that if their was anyone using proxies to connect here then there is a possibility that their real IP has still been shown.Even then it wouldn't matter I guess, using a browser with just a proxy and not a middle-man betwixt would still leak DNS requests even if you arrived at the site anonymously, blah blah... this is too off-topic.
