Add to that, do they keep my IP address? It's easy to get to because I'll look up my posts.

How will they know this IP is from Husies? Someone else may look for your post too.

That's true, but you could make deduction based on what they see or search. It's more obvious when a visitor only look for single user post.

They may (I assume though TryNinja said they don't) have the IP logs but that wouldn't do much harm if I'm correct since they wouldn't be able to know which IP is owned by who. Anyway, it's still safe to use TOR if you are concerned about your privacy regardless of what TryNinja and LoyceV said.

Though it's beneficial for forum's investigators (I can't see any other use), I always have seen scraping addresses isn't a good idea. There are people who even don't know someone scraps the forum and may mistakenly post an address publicly but instantly deleted. He will get a wrong impression that he is fine while he is not.

Talking about wrong impression, most people also don't know CloudFlare (which used by this forum) decrypt HTTPS traffic. They need to trust CloudFlare not to log and misuse their data.
