There's no IP address listed for 'rancid rock', so I can't check.

However, the 'rancid rock' user has been a member since Nov 2005, and has not done anything to result in action against him.

No IP address? He may be using a proxy host. You should be able to ping both names though and trace route to get an idea of the general locations. There's always a "fingerprint" of sorts to latch on to as a start.

Yes, but not available to a moderator - incidently the banned member has no listed IP address either?.

BTW, as a matter of interest, your's reverses to 'United States [City: University Park, Pennsylvania]'

HiTech · 4th August 2006, 03:22 PM

There ya go!

Marks256 · 4th August 2006, 05:07 PM

So there is an IP data base? Cool. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Is that healthy? I am worried....

**Nigel Goodwin** · 4th August 2006, 05:47 PM

As far as I'm aware all bulletin boards store the IP addresses of users, PHPBB (the previous software) gives a list of every IP address a user has posted from, this software gives just one IP address. Presumably if you have a dynamic IP address (as most users do) it will give the last one used?, or perhaps blank it? (like the ones in question).

Incidently, your reverse DNS gives 'United States [City: Englewood, Colorado]'.

Just checked mine!, that's blank as well - but I logon from both work (fixed IP) and home (dynamic IP).

That is funny, i am in Ostrander, MN, USA. That must be where my ISP is based? We have satellite Internet, which is very crappy.

I have been wondering. Where is this server located? Does someone own it? Or is it just being rented? Who is the creator? Hmm?

HiTech · 4th August 2006, 06:17 PM

Yeah, the inquiring mindless want to know!

Marks256 · 4th August 2006, 06:27 PM

Ooh! The suspense!

As far as I'm aware the owner is in New Zealand?, the domain name is registered through "COMPUTER SERVICES LANGENBACH GMBH DBA JOKER.COM", and the registered owner is "Phil G, Oxfordshire, England" - this is all freely available via "whois". A 'trace route' takes you to Abacus America Inc. in San Deigo - presumably it's them who do the hosting?.

I, I, feel nothing. What is this vast empty hole? Could it be? No! Is it the horror of knowing? The nothingness that lingers in my head? YES! It is! No! It is almost blinding...
