Nonsense. I was hired freelance to create a web forum for someone who wanted it to run on Tor and making everything work without JavaScript was the top requirement. The guy wanted an option to enable JS for those who were willing to trust it, but it was disabled by default and I designed all parts of the forum to run without JS.

No one said it's possible to design a site without JavaScript, just that for the vast majority of the internet, including sites user's rely on, it's unusable without it enabled.

I was replying to a poster claiming JS is needed "even within tor"

I understand. And if anyone wants to use one of the sites that requires JavaScript within tor, then JS is needed within tor for them. Just because some random forum was developed to work without JS doesn't help if they want to use a site that wasn't developed to work without JS.
