I'm still trying to determine if the IP addresses are 100% reliable in determining if one person has posted under all of these usernames. Suzy-Q has told me that she has only posted under these usernames: SUZYQ, WONDERBOX, YOUR MOTHER, SUNFLOWER.
It could be possible that someone IP addresses are being reused by people's ISP. If this is the case then some people are being wrongly accused.
I only bring this up because I can't guarantee the IP address - username connection as being 100% reliable. And I don't want more problems to arise out of people being falsely accused.
I don't know, I'm confused...whenever I click on ANYONE else's IP number, it shows me the last 100 messages they've written, and only ONE username. Which makes sense. But when I clicked on suzy-q's IP number, it showed all sorts of different usernames (all of which I listed) for the last 100 posts she wrote. So I really don't know what's going on, and I'm not a computer expert so I don't "get" the whole IP #/ISP deal.
I definitely spoke too soon, but I just said what my computer was telling me. I wasn't trying to incriminate people randomly. I still don't know what to believe.
I think it's very likely that not every user with the same IP address is the same person. From the AOL website:
Q. Can I use the IP address of the request to track a member's access to my site?
A. No. Because AOL uses proxy servers to service the requests made by members, webmasters see the IP address of the gr server, not the DAHA of the member in their web site log files. The problem with trying to use the IP address to track access is that there may easily be multiple members assigned to a proxy server. All of the member requests would appear to be coming from one member if you assumed a relationship between member and IP address. In addition, members may be reassigned to a different proxy server during a session. See also Network Info.
Hmmm. I'm so not good with all this computer lingo stuff.
"I think it's very likely that not every user with the same IP address is the same person."
I have to disregard the rest of your message because I simply don't understand it...but you are the computer man dxp so whatever you say, I will take as fact. After all, you know what you're talking about more so than any of us, including me. 🙂
Again, my apologies to anyone wrongly accused by me.
If this has in fact all been a mistake (with the exception of the four confirmed aliases), then I'm glad; that's what everyone was hoping. Maybe we can just make it so that everyone has to submit an email address to dxp? And then posters would only be able to have one username, thus avoiding all this...confusion. Just a thought.
cj7, forgive me, I'm sort of in defense-mode right now, I need to stop that...what's done is done, it's time to trust people again (speaking about myself of course). Sorry about that.
its okay phoenix, ppl make mistakes *pets* in your case, you didnt know what to believe since there is someone who IS definitely going around being one person, so its not entirely your fault for being so paranoid
Thank you for the support Luz...you know I'm not trying to be all Nazi-like about the whole thing...it's just that my guard is/was up. I'll be fine in like a week. lol.
Just out of interest, whenever I log in, I click on the IP number that appears next to my name (it changes every time) and often posts that other people have written will come up under that IP number.
So...IP numbers change and sometimes you get the same one as another person.
I don't see how you can avoid looking like a Nazi phoenix - this kind of thread would be offensive enough even if you did get the information right. Who made you board monitor? What gives you the right to post inflmatory information promoting the exclusion of certain members? How would you feel if someone put this post up and included you in the list? Did you even stop to think in the midst of your self-righteous fervour for 'truth' that maybe, just maybe, you might be way off the mark.
An apology in advance means nothing - next time, have a bit of a think before you go shooting your mouth off.
I see your point Cortica..but, did you read my GHASTLY post where I thought everyone...er...not quite everyone...but, many people had listed "Star" as their name on their profile! LOL! Damn me, anyway! Now it is hilarious to me...since I know that there was a prob with the profile page...but, at the time...I thought it was a ploy against me...initiated by Suzy Q! God, I was paranoid and idiotic!! I am the one who kinda got this whole paranoid ball rolling... Sorry.. didn't mean to be a crazy woman...but, sometimes it happens! Forgive me?
Thank you, "mommy cortica". What are you, like four years older than me? LOL. It's funny that the most snooty, self-righteous, stuck-up person on these boards would say such things about me. Oh well, "it takes one to know one". And by the way, there were several others who did the same exact thing I did, before I did it, just not in such an "organized" way I guess (posting the message on every single board). Look around; you'll see. But, I guess it will be me that takes all the heat for everything. Whatever. And, I wasn't apologizing to you, so you can take your comment about how it means nothing, and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, thanks. Here's an idea: butt out when the post has nothing to do with you.
Star, don't worry about it, I'm human, you're human, and regardless of how other people want to act about this whole thing, their butter smells the same. lol.
I move to strike all the names off my list (can't remember if I already said that here or not), except for sq/wonderbox/your mother/sunflower, and to all who I have wrongly accused, I am so, very sorry to you. I suck.

I know this might seem strange but how do you shake an aquarius?
My aquarius friend really messed things up this time, to the point of me not wanting to be friends with him anymore, however, he thinks that if he stays away long enough either I w
Can you please tell me how it's possible for 1 person to actually be 6?
I'm talking about CB. AKA Suzy-Q, Aqua 2, Sunflower, Wonderbox, Lady-Virgo. No doubt I'm missing quite a few I just got exhausted cross referencing them all PHEW!!
if any male piscean is interested in chatting in earnest with a 20 something intellectual female cancerian, then i invite open conversation. (sun - cancer, moon - sagg, ascendant - aquarius)... and yes, u have to be a bit quirky but spunky!!! praetor
Ok, now, I've read up on the aquarius sign but not enough. I have a best friend and she gets on my nerves. But thats not the point. She doesnt seem to have aquarius traits, well not reely, maybe i have not been reading alot on this sign, but u tell me:
Okay...I am fascinated by a Russian Aquarian. Do you "THINK" that he may be a bit different than an American Aquar.? His b-day is Feb. 14th. (the LOVE day) I asked him if he has a "dark side" and he replied, "uh, yeah...it has been out and delt with."
Ok I need a little aquarian advice from the lovely water bearers....
I'm in a BEAUTIFUL relationship with an aq, except when i unknowingly piss him off!!! argh! so frustrating. i seem to make comments totally not directed at him but maaan he take
I don't know if this is typical Aquarian or not, but when I am in a conversation with someone and it gets into an argument or the other person starts a verbal attack, I wind up stumbling over my words.
Hello my ladies Alana and Freebird - thought I would start a new topic as the first one has gotten pretty long, so we can continue my Saga here. Hope you don't mind!
My lady Alana - so nice to have you back, and so thankful for your post and you
Hello Aquarians! I'm so hoping I can get some some help and advice from you on this - or at the least, a better perspective here. A little background is probably warranted here so please forgive the long post upfront......
Are we in the dawning of the age of aquarius ? If so when does the sun come up? If we are not when will we be? Do we give up our soul to the dark side?
My aquarian has lived long distance for the past 6 months. I was going to move in with him in another couple of months, but he recently decided that he wanted to end it. I know he has feelings, but whenever he thinks I care too much, his feelings just go
Ok i get capricorns being that my whole family are capricorns accept me and my sister my sister is aquarious i dont get her shes happy then moody been reading up on aquarious to try and understand her
I have been testing my Aqua male lately...not purposely testing...what causes me to do this is that he is so damn quiet! He seems content...but, doesn't give me enough positive feedback!!
What ends up happening is that I will ask a question abou
Are you "thinkers?". I have this male friend and boy does he like to talk! About everything! He is always thinking...I have a feeling that if he doesn't just live and enjoy the moments that his brain is
If you have had a conversation with anyone with the following handles:
Suzy-Q
Aqua-2
C-B
Your Mother
Sunflower
sloane
romeclone
LS
Wonderbox
Got2bGood
deepbluecalm
TM1
Nice_Slut
cj7
abstrusely
...then you have only been talking to one person, who posed as all these different people for at least the last 7 months.
I only alert you to this because I believe in the truth, and through my research as well as others', this has been discovered as the truth.
