Hi fellow mods,
I am now "unlocked" to the Moderator forum.
I would like to explain why there are multiple usernames from my IP address.

1st account : imail.jason
I started off with the user name "imail.jason" and the reason for that is because I had a gmail named "imail.jason@gmail.com" but I have switched emails and so I started a new user name.I had no intentions of pretending to be another user - (if i did i wouldnt keep my name "jason'' in my later on user names)

2nd account : jasonw
Then the current account I am using is "jasonw"

3rd account: amanda.lolx
This account is used by amanda who lives in the same house as me so thats the reason of which we have the same ip address

Thanks and I hope their won't be any more misunderstandings regarding my ip address and usernames

Thanks,
Jason

Thanks for letting us know Jason! {thumb2} No problem! Sometimes it says that both me and Shambler post from the same IP but we're definitly NOT the same person! :lol: Strange, the only similarity there is between us is that we're both from South Africa... :roll:

Thanks,
Lizanne

Yep I've heard about that before; sadly just by looking at the IP address is not that accurate sometimes.

IP addresses are 100% accurate unless a proxy is used, or unless the AOL program is used, which connects multiple people on the same IP.

Jason's identical IPs are explainable as he used the same computer.

Lizanne/Shambler having identical IPs has no logical explanation (assuming theyre not the same person here of course!) unless one of them uses proxies, and has happened to use the same one as the other. Or they've happened to use the same PC in a library or something. Other than that I really have no idea :?

Thats not intended to start an argument, just pointing out the differences.

HOWEVER I dont think the IP check system on this forum is accurate. I use AOL - and Ive only ever used AOL - yet it currently thinks I'm connecting using Carphone Warehouse Broadband :roll: :lol:
