Drippik hacked?

Okay, we know all (almost) that General Drippik is bringing up old, useless topics. That is really anoying and not his usual behavior. I think that he is hacked or something, and someone else posts under his name. Or he has an anoying brother/sister....

What do you think?

i think a mod/admin should compare his IP address between normal posts and his idiot ones...and disable his account until a solution is found...

You are right Gluk Schmuck... the IPs tell us exactly the internet location of a poster.

Usually you will find that an ISP (Internet Service Provider) will own a range of IP addresses. For example... if a poster had an IP of 1.1.1.45, the next time they post it could be 1.1.1.22 and so on. So in this example, the ISP may own the range 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.500.

As most ISPs use static IP addresses, yours will almost always change every time you logon. Some ISPs use fixed IP addresses and so do permanent connections (cable, DSL, etc).

Let me just say according to IP addresses there may have been no hacking or impersonating going on lately. Unless the impersonator used the same ISP.

If you consider toughts like that paranoid, I'm paranoid too! But you are right. Drippik is usually not like that....
