Are you aware that many websites and most hackers use IP addresses to monitor your personal business and that your home address and other personal information about you can be retrieved once your IP address is known?
If your IP address isnt hidden, virtually anyone with Internet access can track you directly to your home. Everyone can see this information - including hackers! Your firewall does not hide your IP address.
Putting these ISP addresses back is a foolish and irresponsible thing to do.
The ISP shows that once again my neighbours(whom I wireless piggy back with) have joined this forum and are attacking people as they did with Skirty and The-boy-Nextdoor!
They follow me around and think it's funny to destroy my on-line friendships.
Paul kinder knows I am only one person and have only ever had one log-in.
I am not Noel or Maureen, I see by the isp No's that Chingle ling and FunToFunky and Baby Universal and Fantastic Voyage are all in collusion, I suspect they are all friends having a laugh pretending to be other people.
It is odd and certainly fuels levels of paranoia for insecure people.
I know Roger and Chris are obsessed with my logins! I have only ever had one, my mother used to post as Brenda Benson and that went a long time ago, you may not recall BB.
Thank you for trying to explain how these logins are done. I am real and will not be made out to be false.
I'm new here and like the place.

Sean, I am not obsessed with your log-ins. I was quite happy to keep quiet about your alter egos until you decided to attack me whilst wearing one of your log ins (Skirty - Juvenile Success) .
I merely found it bewildering that it wasn't obvious to everyone else who all your other log ins were.
It felt like I was Neo in the Matrix, the only one who could see the truth.
Now I guess I wasn't the only one as someone has asked Paul to put the ISPs back on, or maybe Paul is peed off with it and has decided to expose you. Funniest news I've heard all day. I must say I was impressed with how you remembered all the passwords and log-in combos! .
We all still like you, but when you've hit the bottom of the hole, stop digging.
We all know Roger is the cause of a lot of bother.
HE even compares himself to NEO another fictional character which only serves to show us that HE lives in fantasy land. maybe Roger thinks NEO is real!
The guys a nut and is obsessed with me, I reckon he thinks of me when he flings his muck around.
It is odd and certainly fuels levels of paranoia for insecure people.

Lol!
Why do you bother?it only turns people away from here.
Sounds like bordering on this to me.
Who'd bother responding to a thread three times using different logins basically saying the same thing, now really?
Think it's time to see the quack lads.
My neighbours with whom I share a wireless connection clearly enjoy joining this forum and with the help of others seem to enjoy mimicking me to disrupt this site.
That kind of things may turn people away, I am one of the good guys dear.
Paul knows the truth and you and Roger are very wrong in your findings.
take a look at the ISPs and you will work it out for yourself.
I have something against you Alan Titshmarsh. You piece of shit. You tracked my ip address and gave away my location on this message board. Why would you do something like that, you piece of shit? Do me a favor, asshole, don't do it again.
I don't even begin to understand all this ISP hopping?
All I know is that someone is pretending to be me.
Sam, why were you treated so badly?

Sam, you serious?
If so I didn't mean to do it maliciously. Sorry if it came across that way. That was over a year ago. I'll go and find the post and delete it to reassure you.
I was actually defending you! Some people here thought you were a bit dim from some of your outlandish posts. I was just saying that from your I.P location, you were most probably an academic and thus intelligent. I argued that you were so smart that you didn't mind playing the fool.
I didn't think any harm could have came of it as I didn't deduce anything that anyone else couldn't have done with the same information that available on all your posts.
Sam, I've just looked & I can't find a post where I revealed your location, seriously. I mentioned that you were probably a lecturer & I sang your praises when all around were condemning you:
Alan, you know you did it, but you simply can't find it. It was an idiotic, dumb ass thing to do. Find it and delete it if you can. Dumb people can be dangerous.
Sam, I used to think you were smart until you attacked Dr Ink for a spelling mistake which he didn't make (it was an alternative, yet equally valid spelling) and then you had to quickly edit your post to correct your spelling mistake whilst berating him for his non existent mistake. Oh, the irony!
Angry, cursing Sam isn't a good look for you. If you have an issue with your IP address being displayed, so people can work out your location, then use a proxy server when you post here.
I still think you're a good writer, a great windup merchant & I think I may have just been 'Sammed'.
Alan you tracked down my ip address and then printed it right here on this board. How can you defend such a dumb ass thing? Please don't display your stupidity by changing the subject to something else.
>>>Alan you tracked down my ip address and then printed it right here on this board. How can you defend such a dumb ass thing? Please don't display your stupidity by changing the subject to something else.<<

Proof positive that these ISP's should not be visable.
You see the trouble someone has caused for Sam in the past.
I think it's becoming very clear who are the trouble makers on here.
I like you Sam, keep up your very interesting posts.
I just want to make it clear, Ching, because I didn't before. Alan tracked my ip address and then printed my exact location, where I posted from. He posted it here for all to know. Now he's trying to justify this reprehensible, reckless behavior.

You've explained it very clearly Sam. I think others will start to see what wrong you have suffered from a members stupid and irresponsible act.
He has NO right to track you down like this, WTF does he think he is?
tracked down your I.P. address, lol? Yes, I tracked it down from under your login where everyone could see it!
If you can find a post where I typed the name of the city you live or work in, I apologise & I will edit it. If not, maybe you could stop shattering my illusions about you being intelligent.
God damn it you know you fucking did it, you admitted it just before. Now you are trying to deny it? It just keeps getting worse Alan. Stop, please, before you just evaporate all respect anyone has for you.
Try this, search your posts, and delete it. And don't do it again. How dumb can you be?
I said to email me a link to the post where I give your location. If you can't do that then go away and annoy someone else. I think I didn't give your location and merely mentioned that you were probably a tutor.
maybe you could stop shattering my illusions about you being intelligent
He's not intelligent, he's a fucking psycho. Look at his responses to your posts here. He doesn't address what you say, he repeats the same psycho crap over and over and over again. He's total fucking nutjob and it's about time he was banned. As for We all still like you, I hate the fucking twat.
How am I psycho, you piece of shit? Why don't you ban me you fat, boring blob. You're not even involved in this, but like a little pussy, you have to involve yourself like a little busybody bitch.
But you see what I mean, Alan? You flatter him, call his crazy posts interesting, call him intelligent, and he calls you a piece of shit. I say I hate him and that he's a fucking psycho, and he calls me a piece of shit.
How much more evidence do you need that he is a total nutjob?
I stopped thinking Sam was intelligent a little while ago when he showed his true colours in his misguided and pedantic attacks on Dr Ink & 2HB. Sam disguised his stupidity by pretending to be a smart guy acting stupid.
I initially thought that Sam might have been right in his accusation, because I did put his visible i.p. number though an i.p. tracker which told me which city he posted from, but when I went to check my posts I saw that I didn't say which city it was. I merely concluded that he was probably a tutor.
If everyone wants to believe Sam's accusation then bear in mind this is the same guy who has said: I'm selling my wife's breasts on Ebay ..... I'm morbidly obese..... I'm so thin and gaunt that I look like a ghost. I'm so ashamed of my wife that I burnt her. I'm going to court for an indecent act with a farm animal. etc.........
Check the links I gave above so you can all see how I used to defend Sam in the past.
I don't think they are Bowie fans Chris, one is a computer programmer and the other is a student and they are incredibly talented, and... as like most of their generation they know their way around the pc like nobody's business.
Personally I am way too busy to hang out with Bowie fans, most seem like right chuffing nutters. Sweety and Rhoda are my cups of tea.
Sweety was very kind when I had some bother last year and helped me through a tricky time.
I don't think i was imagining anything Sean,look back and see the IPs it's all there i didn't make it up.
Maybe this has finally put a stop to it and hopefully these silly logins will stop?
It did really lead to a lot of regular posters leaving though,which wasn't a good thing,imo.
Don't get me wrong i liked the odd funny one,Brenda for instance but dont agree with someone using them otherwise,if you know what i mean.

Bullshit. I've just used a couple of tracers and they tell me that I live in Lakemba in Sydney. I don't. I presume that's where my ISP has its hub, which is probably serving the whole of the inner-west of Sydney, but it is ten or twenty kilometres from where I am located.
I'm pleased that PK has put the IPs back on, there's been far too many trolls hereabouts lately.
Re: ISP numbers are dangerous and stupid to display

I'm pleased to see that PK and/or Network54 have chosen to display IP addresses again. If it stops all the flame posts and stuff, it shows that someone is taking the maintenance of this board seriously. I have no idea if it's PKs doing or Network54, but I would take it even further and not allow anyone to subscribe to this board unless they use a valid email address such as Whomever@bt.com or another such valid ISP account address, instead of the generalistic (and I include myself in this btw) Whomever@hotmail.com/gmail.com/yahoo and all this and for the life of me, I can't understand why people are so worried about their IP addresses being published publicly.
I don't know the laws of other countries, but I can tell you how IP addresses work in the UK.
The only two numbers of an IP address that really matter are the last two digits. These are the ones that give your name, addresss, phone number and so on.
Now for example, somebody falls out with someone on here, or someone takes the huff or something and the aggrieved party decides to report the other person to that persons ISP, for example you report someone to bt.com
Due to the data protection act in the UK, the ISP WILL NOT give you information on that person or their whereabouts.
The ONLY way to get that information is to take that persons ISP to court and in the case of multiple logins or slagging on this board, you'd be laughed out of court holding a bill for court costs and very lucky that you haven't been charged with wasting the courts time. It would have to be something very serious for the ISP to even take your complaint seriously.
In the case of 'Piggy Backing', you could report it to your ISP and they MIGHT take that seriously enough to investigate it and back you up if the ISP reports that person for theft of their bandwidth though again, you are the one who has to locate the person who's piggy backing and report that person to the police for theft of bandwidth. To the best of my knowledge, that's only happened once in britain and the person doing the piggy backing was let off with a caution from the police.
IMO, the only people who have any reason to moan about their IP addresses being published publicly on here, are the people with something to hide. I couldn't care less if anyone posted my IP address on a huge billboard on Sunset Boulevard! (Bowie connection, btw)
Multiple logins, various ip addresses, different identities I mean you have to smile don't you
People trying to be funny? people trying to confuse? even those whom I suspect are too afraid to stand by their own convictions / thoughts using their proper identity ( that last point is the reason the majority who do these things, do it IMHO )
Whatever the reasons are? I'm personally confident enough in myself and my own convictions to stand by whatever I say, regardless of whether or whatever I say is right or wrong in some peoples eyes.
As for those who insist on coming on here with several identities, then I personally will treat them as the identity they are using at any particular given time, because they are all the same to me, i.e. words on a computer screen.
How about you do a search for your 'home location' on BWW in the search box and if you get a result in a post of mine regarding you, then email me the link & I will delete it immediately before the bogeymen come and get you.
I can't do this as I don't know your 'home location', so I can't search for it.
I think ISP numbers bring out the... err... best in this MB. Haven't read such a good thread in ages... I bet db suggests such changes to PK every now then to distract from festie rumours
Great craic indeed.
And as Mr.Stewart would say "some guys have all the luck."
Could you imagine living beside lots of Bowie fans,that's a very rare thing these days.
