As I had stated earlier on in the introduction, I do belong to few other forums. Only in one am I known by my real name.
When I first learned about the internet I always used my real name, and was promptly asked "What is your real name?" I didn't know different :-3
This month I joined a very small forum for the only reason my Man is a member there.
I post simple to say Good Morning and the odd Congrats. Any other time I mostly read and learn.
Then I joined here, saw the forum when my friend Debb signed up. I Liked the athmosphere and variety of topics.
Now we all know about internet security, spyware etc. I will get to my question
Anyways there's a g'zillion of forums out there, so now what are the chances of a person using the exact same username to sign up to the two forums I happen to be at?
Last night while working on the computer I had the two forums open, but was not signed in. Low and behold I notice a new user signed up at the other forum. That' a ood thing!
After a while I come here, hit reload to see if there was anything new..guess what "new user" exact same name. Now with a name like that it can not be a coincidence......I think ...
Is there any chance that anyone could have picked up my IP somewhere and somehow trace it all over the net and follow me?
Yes I do know my IP is all in the open to anywhere I visit on the web and any place I might have signed up to. I used to be a Mod, and the ex was an admin on another forum :wah: I am banned there now..go figure..I'm so hurtin' :wah:
What would creep me out all the way if there was actually a way of IP tracing availabe to anyone out there....by tracing I mean, input the IP and see where it has been used.
Not like in a spy program put on the computer to watch what others are doing. I dislike that one to the utmost....my ex used it on me. Watched everything I did, that's beside the point, but I had to say it anyways. Also am not talking about a Trace Route.
It just kinda freaked me out for that to happen, with that username.
So much for a ramble on eh?! Hope anyone knows what I am talking about here LOL
