I've been a member of SR for a lot longer than you. I've known about these chat rooms for ages but I hadn't used them until I met you at college.

I brought ellisuk and Crack Up Lad here. Eliisuk is a copying git (:)) and Crack Up Lad just told me I had won GAD. He was seriouse and everything and I was just about to claim and I realised I hadn't. What a seriously retarded sense of humour :@ He will be punched.

I'm sure they would be able to track it through their database's though.

Wouldn't it? I was Bubbly Babe for 43 days before I messed that up.

Tiltawhirl thought he was on a promise.

Hur hur! (as he'd say)

Anyone logging in from an office or from AOL is all but untraceable via conventional means.

It can be done though.

Don't lots of ISPs use free roming IPs, so that you get a different one every time you log in. It wouldn#'t work for me either because I move around at work between Labs and Offices, and I have my computer at home.

I think they have better ways of tracing than address. (I would hope they do anyway)

Even setting up a different e-mail address and having the address as a relatives or friends would work to to have a different user.

Not sure but I know a lot of places that hold your IP address so they can identify each user no matter if they change names or create different profiles but I'm not sure if that is used here.

Either way though if someone cheats it and wins I think SR should e-mail the rest of us their address and we can show our appreciation to the ungrateful little chap
