He was one of my favorite posters...
How difficult would it be to IP check the entire forum?
The moderator of any board you make a post on can see your IP (but only that mod). Dave, as admin, can see all of them. Checking the entire forum would take forever as we're talking of thousands of accounts and over six years of posts. But there's no reason why the entire 'active' parts of the forum, so to speak, can't be checked relatively quickly.
I imagine moderators of a group of high activity boards like Alcon and SuperSoulty would be able to do IP check whoever they want. Is there really anybody on this board that hasn't made at least one post in Forum Community, US General, Political Debate, or Off Topic?
