<div>I have a question about this...was the IP address actually traced back to the town she lived in? It's been awhile since that post, but I thought someone said it was traced back to 90 miles from where she lived. I could be way off on that one, but I forget the details of it now. </div>
Could it possibly be true that The Knot doesn't have the technology to trace IP addresses? That sounds like b.s. to me, but maybe it's true. Tech-savvy women - could it be true?
That's fair, Celles, and it definitely means a lot more coming from you than from some of the others, because you were not a wretched hosebeast to me during the whole thing. I regret saying "can I post here," but I'm 99% certain she would have jumped my shiit in that thread either way even though I was just trying to be nice.
But I won't take back the part about "that's the answer you'll get on E" because it is. "Don't ask" etc, is the standard party line over there whenever any newb asks what the KPS callout or the boardwar was all about.

Good question. It does seem like basic technology for anyone who runs a message board, especially an established enterpise like The Knot.
OWN, that's what Annie has always said. That's why they don't/can't ban IP addresses. If you get banned, you can just make a new name and come right back because they can't do anything with IP addresses.

I can't trace them, but I can see them and then use a seperate site to trace them on the forums I run, and they're just one of the random free hosting sites. So I'm skeptical. But I guess with so many members it might just not be worth it.

It's B.S.
The forum software may not track IP addresses, but I'm absolutely 100% positive that the data exists even if it isn't easily accessible to someone like KA. It's not so much a matter of can't but won't. TK probably doesn't think it's worth a DBA's time to investigate message board drama. (Given how buggy everything else has been, they're probably right!)

Well I do know many people have IP addresses that are routed through places they do not live or work. That fact makes it really hard to track people down.

I'm not saying she's innocent, because I'm not 100% convinced myself, I was just giving what info I had based on what she told me. I haven't heard anything out of her since then, so I can't say she did it or not. I'd like to believe not, but I'm a skeptic.

I would guess its a TK line they give to avoid having to trace IPs. Tracing one would open a HUGE HUGE door and then there could be legal issues... they are better off not bothering
In light of Dani's post, I'm not going to argue the point, MFJ. I think I took the comment a little too personally because I had just explained the future-mrs drama in another thread (on E., no less!) and was all "lolwut?"
Personally, I think it's better to explain it succintly and move on. If you treat it like some dark secret in our collective past, then it takes on a significance it doesn't deserve. It also draws a very distinct line between those of us who were around at the time (and are "allowed" to know about it) and those of us who weren't.

<div>I have a question about this...was the IP address actually traced back to the town she lived in? It's been awhile since that post, but I thought someone said it was traced back to 90 miles from where she lived. I could be way off on that one, but I forget the details of it now. </div>

But I won't take back the part about "that's the answer you'll get on E" because it is. "Don't ask" etc, is the standard party line over there whenever any newb asks what the KPS callout or the boardwar was all about.
[QUOTE]Could it possibly be true that The Knot doesn't have the technology to trace IP addresses? That sounds like b.s. to me, but maybe it's true. Tech-savvy women - could it be true?

Good question. It does seem like basic technology for anyone who runs a message board, especially an established enterpise like The Knot.

I can't trace them, but I can see them and then use a seperate site to trace them on the forums I run, and they're just one of the random free hosting sites. So I'm skeptical. But I guess with so many members it might just not be worth it.

It's B.S.
The forum software may not track IP addresses, but I'm absolutely 100% positive that the data exists even if it isn't easily accessible to someone like KA. It's not so much a matter of can't but won't. TK probably doesn't think it's worth a DBA's time to investigate message board drama. (Given how buggy everything else has been, they're probably right!)

Well I do know many people have IP addresses that are routed through places they do not live or work. That fact makes it really hard to track people down.
Fish - What did username do to you again? We were just talking about it but we couldn't remember specifics...
RAWR!
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Ask and ye shall receive : None of that means she didn't do it. We couldn't prove it was her beyond the IP address that traced to her tiny town in KS, and Knot Annie can't prove it is or isn't her because they don't have the technology, so Annie told her to just ignore it. Doesn't make her innocent.

I'm not saying she's innocent, because I'm not 100% convinced myself, I was just giving what info I had based on what she told me. I haven't heard anything out of her since then, so I can't say she did it or not. I'd like to believe not, but I'm a skeptic.

Personally, I think it's better to explain it succintly and move on. If you treat it like some dark secret in our collective past, then it takes on a significance it doesn't deserve. It also draws a very distinct line between those of us who were around at the time (and are "allowed" to know about it) and those of us who weren't.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Ask and ye shall receive : That's only because we were/are trying to clear the air and stop posts where it gets all dredged up again and feelings get butthurt all over again. It's best to not drag it all up again every time a newb comes in all confused, in my opinion. Maybe that's the wrong way to look at it, but since everyone has a different perspective of what happened, any story told is going to biased in one way or another.

Most days I feel this way because you are right, it gets really tough to explain every.single.time. Plus, I know we all feel every version is different. I am glad this thread came out today. I feel some solidarity between the boards in that we are all glad to finally have threads that are halfway interesting.
RAWR!

<3 I can only presume the context of this conversation you speak of was totally awesome.

Whatever Fishy. Possum traced your IP address and she knows you're the only Fargoan (Fargoan? Fargot? I have no idea). Possum may eat her own poo but she's no dummy.

I like to think that's what makes it funny. Overplayed to the max? Yes. Which is why it is more funny.
RAWR!
But yeah, that was the thing. Do you think that IF the KPSCO's were traced to a computer in Fargo, ND that people would be all, NO WAY IT WASNT FISHY!
Um, yeah. They would. And I'd be trying to pin it on AATB with every fiber of my being.
Hypothetically.
