So, in this instance, I take it that # denotes the inference that these forums are oldschool IRC chatrooms, and not a pound sign or a hash tag.

​amirite?

Yep. A throwback to the good old days when gun dealers, drug dealers, and pedophiles were allowed to roam free on the internet, and there was no difference between the deep web and the surface web. It was a simpler, more wholesome time. Ah well...

There's actually a bit of a malevolent purpose behind the hashtag, but you can go read my Info thread for that.
