This is sooooo dumb, lots of BBS' log IP's. Look at most other BBS's of this type and they will either state the IP or have a link that states IP logged. I would assume this is because this board is a "canned" product. Meaning Pelican bought the rights or software to run this type of BBS on their server, and I would guess that IP logging is built in - part of the Ultimate Bulletin Board package.
Unless you are on a static IP you shouldn't worry. If you are THEN you either 1)Block incomming requests - 2)Shouldn't be on the net at work.
Look most people using plebian net access, use dial-up like AOL (compuserve, AOL, netscape), MSN, etc... and those services have dynamic IP or super dynamic IP's (that one cannot even decipher or access). Even if you saw a dynamic IP, I doubt one could access anything on that network (dial-up IP).
Those with static IP's pay a lot of money to have them, and appropriately should take measures to protect their investment, if not then its their fault.
Further, the only ones on this board who must worry about an attack is Shaun, Por2by, and Grommit for pissing everyone off periodically.
Just Kidding!
Anyway, I think the panties are getting bunched, pretty damn tight, for no reason!
I can feel the flames coming,

UPDATE: After a search, looks like IP is new, I amend the first paragraph, but still could care less about the whole topic.
