Sounds great!

who am I? I am a member, I have never posted as unregistered but I am active and post almost daily


I will even type a little bit more since I have also seen people that are NOT mods say they can also tell who people are by the things they say, punctuation etc...

Anyone up for the challenge? I hope this isn't against the rules! I am really just curious if a mod can tell who I am...

I'm an Admin and I still have no idea. There is no corresponding account with your IP. You obviously have a dynamic IP. I can only tell you are from Michigan.

I would have to go through every post made today to see if your IP matched. No one has the time for that! ::

Interesting because I've seen before it said on several unregistered posts that the op was known because of the IP address giving some type of information that identified them.. Is that location based maybe?? I'm just curious not trying to scare people.

If the person had some kind of writing characteristic or the IP was in a city that someone knew the member was near might add 1 + 1 together. Also, if the Dynamic IP from a new account had not changed and the member wrote as unregistered, one could possibly see who they were.

The member from today that was banned made all the classic mistakes. Spoke negatively and created unnecessary drama, posted as a member and again posted as unregistered all in the same timeframe. That's a no no.

I am also a mod and I haVe NO clue.......but then again I have no clue about a lot of things........

Michael, I must have missed something here. I have been rather busy with work and personal life so I can only post when kids are asleep.

Thank you for all that you do for us, to give us a place to keep our sanity...........

How about my state? Just curious. Call me crazy!

Don't go scaring the members. That's not necessarily true.

For the most part everyone's IP here is a Dynamic IP. IP's change unless you pay for a Static IP address which 99.9% of users don't have.

FYI: A Static IP (what Daycare.com has - 66.161.7.83) address is a number that is assigned, to a computer or Domain Name, by an Internet service provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the Internet.

A Dynamic IP (what every member here has) address lasts for the duration of that Internet session. Once the user disconnects from the Internet, their dynamic IP address goes back into the IP address pool so it can be assigned to another user.

didn't meat to scare anyone or get on your bad side (I just got here)
I meant "board owners" have ways to know IP of unregistered members

sorry Michael

Thanks for the info. I've never learn a bunch about ip and such. I can code a website but know nothing about ip addresses. I like to learn though!!

what have I done...you guys have a hole I can crawl into? ::

[Cradle2crayons]

No hole, but I have some advice:::::


DEFINATELY do NOT choke on googly eyes or little tiny stickers!!

ha ha, thanks for checking! Nope, not even from Michigan

[Lavender]

I don't post a lot (and I'm not on whatever the private board is) but I'm thankful for this board. I work in a center but I still learn a lot ... even from many of the unregistered posts.

[NeedaVaca]

Thanks to Michael and the Mods!

(Sounds like a new band.....:::

That's funny!

Interesting. So do any mods or Michael know where the other unregistered on this thread is from?? Maybe it's a matter of some are easier to see state than others?

Although I'm a long time reader of this board, leave it to me to not sign-up officially until today, and I have never posted(till now ). I have little to no idea about any of this but it's kinda scaring me a little . It appears I've just walked into something is what I mean.
