Hey Dan our IPs are showing. I don't know if this is a glich or you did this for a reason but I thought I would let you know.

that's indeed a serious security breach... Or have all the posters suddenly gained the moderator status? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Serious security breach?
I remember a time on this board when all IPs were showing always. Pretty reassuring I must say http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
I think it might have something to do with the fake accounts that were opened recently.

Relax! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
Some people have been creating fake accounts not only here, but on other forums. Now in some cases they're just to fool around(as in yours truly's case http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif) but in others they're intentional, malicious.
Either way, it's easy to see if anybody has created mutliple accounts by comparing IP addresses. Just compare this one with Mel's IP. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
BTW If you're smart, of course you'll have a decent firewall on your PC, and shouldn't worry overmuch about your IP showing. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Boo yah!!

Ah... I always thought ip adresses were part of the standard private information, but oh well... That's why I named it a "serious security breach" in the first place... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
But is this really just for the purpose of getting rid of fake accounts?? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

It's for a reason.. It is only for a short time. (Due to all the fake dupe accounts that were created).

This is so sad. I had hoped everything had smoothed over by now. I feel so bad because to some extent, I had added to the flames last night. I would like to publicly apologize to the forum for my part in this.
