Difference Between Deep Web and Dark Web
Deep Web: sites on the clear Internet that are not indexed by search engines like Google. For example, your online banking and your Gmail are considered "deep web" because they are not publicly accessible nor are they indexed by search engines. (People can't Google your checking account transactions.) Most of the Internet is considered "deep web."
Dark Web: Darknet sites are not on the clearnet and are only accessible using special protocols and software like Tor (for .onion sites), I2P (Invisible Internet Project), and Freenet.
So this .onion message board the OP refers to is "dark web." Good find though and doesn't detract from the point.
