Yes, just continue to play her. I love this new IP-tracking tool. Just one membership account and then ....
A lot of kids can be helped in this way and then they can go free when they are 18.
How are we doing with all that spam, which seem to pass our anti-spam programming?

what is the new IP tracking tool? Am I being/ can I be tracked?
Explain this to us paranoids, please.

Everybody can be tracked. How do you think the police works?
But of course not by this board. Employees working for the ISP's working for the good site at those ISP's a specific board uses can do the job. All of the larger routers can be configured to log a specific client.
In order to make something out of the log file, it demands that you create a user-account or just use a guest-account. Then you post one single post. You know your own IP-address and you can read the timestamp from the log for the traffic between the board's IP-address and your computer. Once you learn the pattern a post create on a board, you can trace IP-numbers of various posters. The pattern is rather important because viewers create traffic also, but they do it in another way.
The BM-industry could of course pay an employee at Fornits ISP for doing the same job and thats why all volunteers post through the same terminal server in Denmark. You can only trace one, maybe two IP-numbers from our posters. Another trick is to access the board through one of the Ano-surf websites, but can you be sure that they don't keep your passwords etc for marketing purposes?

Also keep in mind that even if they did pay somebody at Dreamhost (unlikely) such action is a criminial offense on their part, could never be used as evidece (other than in such a program's prosecution) and is relatively useless on it's own since a person would have to also have access to your isp's records.
in short... if you're really paranoid. use a proxy, or use tor.
