Okay I was just wondering, since when you post it says "For Security Reasons Your IP Address Will Be Recorded and Partially displayed" doesn't that mean that maybe there could be two people with the same beginning to their ip number since it's only "partially" displayed? I'm just wondering... because maybe that's helping to cause some of the confusion about people posting under two names lol :S

Ya I know it's really slim but, hey, since some people are claiming to not know why others seem to have the same ip then maybe theres a possibility, but not much of a possiblity lol

Umm what do I have wrong? I know what partially means. What I'm saying is like, 24.67.253 is the beginning of my ip well couldn't somebody have the same beginning (24.67.253) as my ip and since the rest of it isn't displayed people might think they were me. Isn't it possible for people to have the same *beginning* of their ip address as somebody else? since your whole ip is not shown, then how would anybody know if that last part (xxx) was the same or not? they wouldn't. So maybe there might be some people with the same beginning of their ip but just the last part (xxx) was different. Isn't that possible?

No Claudia you have it wrong. "Partially" means that only half or more of your IP address will be shown. Thats why theres "xxx" after your IP addresses. And they use the X's so that people aren't trying to steal IP's! :D
