And yeah, it's kind of creepy how much information is available to mods, and especially Admin. Good thing Jamie's not a predator. Razz


It's actually pretty creepy what information is on the internet. I run a webcomic and every time someone visits my website, I can get their IP address, city, state, country, OS, browser resolution, which pages they visited, from what page they came to the site, and more. Further research can allow even more information. I was once able to track down the IP address to a particular apartment complex just off campus (the complex had its own IP address range).

Aww, people stopped posting fun pictures. Sad



Can't you like...find the exact address with an IP address?

I don't have a problem with people posting nonsensical, unreadable gibberish. I have a problem with them posting said gibberish and then expecting to be automatically understood. I'm impressed though--fernster has been really good-natured about the crap people have given him (her?).

Interesting info about Gabe, btw. Funny how he keeps ranting about this place and leaving, and then trying to weasel a way back in. Laughing City is a drug. Wink

Fernster is a man. If I remember correctly, he said that he was in Jetboy.

Gabby is like one of those people who says they hate MTV and then you catch TRL in the background of their cell calls. Wink

It's funny, I just got out of my British film class where we discussed the connection between social class and speech by analyzing the feather scene in Harry Potter.

Most of the time, yes you can. However, getting that specific usually requires that you go through the ISP, who isn't likely to give you that information without a warrant.

On an interesting note, if someone owns a website, you can usually find out all sorts of information on then (including address and phone number), so it works both ways I suppose. But indeed, the lesson to be learned is that if you are on the internet, you have no privacy.

Oh, well I'd just like to clarify that it wasn't me that was at that last webpage. See one of my kitties walked across the keyboard and that webpage just came up. Really I'm not into that sort of thing! Kitty porn.

This thread was most amusing. And yeah, I saw gabe was posting in that one other thread and Nora said - hey is that you gabe - and he got all freaked out about trying to fly under the radar or something. Laughing But anyway, glad to see the new Boyd journal info. Sounds like the pre-tour stuff is pretty intense, and his desk is now in his bedroom or something. Pretty soon he'll be working out of the back of a van down by the river. Poor guy. Laughing
