Wayne - Why are you tracking IP's now?
I just noticed a little icon below the post that show everyone's IP. I know that the internet is a public forum, but I would think showing someone elses IP would be considered not cool.
Now I know where to launch the bots  What say you?.... Hmmm I don't see them in this forum, but I did in the Cayenne forum, the plot thickens....

I think they always track ips, so they can ban ips as opposed to usernames. I don't know about displaying them though!

Tracking ips isn't that big a deal really. They can't normally be traced to anything useful. These days anyone on the nnet should have a firewall and some sort of security. IPs are almost always dynamic, and many, most devices are probably behind some sort of router that's doing NAT. If someone like a LE agency wants to track something down, they can request (I assume by court order) login and/or MAC address info from the service provider.
Yeah, if someone really wanted to be a dick, they could probably attack someone based upon the ip if the work soon after a post.

Very interesting. Where exactly is my IP displayed? It may not be much but I'd like to know about the changes.

I work on several other bulletin boards as an admin or moderator. We track IP addresses there on everyone of them for a very good reason.
You would not believe all the spammers we get who try to fake their name, address, location and so on. Run the IP address and it usually will come up China, Russia, India and so on. While you can spoof the IP address, most do not and it gives you a good idea who and where the post is coming from.

My question is there any IP's that are interesting?
I am wondering if one can track the Lurkers?

Steve, DoS is your friend ;D
I only saw it in the cayenne forum, and I guess it's for spammers, but mine own IP doesn't have to be public. I prefer stealth....

Web servers always log requestors' IP addresses, unless the admin disables that logging deliberately. Also, Wayne has this board wired-up to Google Analytics which is tracking all activity in detail and trending it over time.
I have not seen the IP's displayed visibly on the board though.
