Umm... That kinda scares me... You tell me not to ask but now I have to... I'm like a cat that way... Just too curious I think.

K that's kinda cool but how do I register a handle there? I see no links to create one and trying to post doesn't direct me to one.

My eyes hurt so I didn't bother to read the first page.

What did I miss?

I have hesitated to join on account of my not wanting random f*cktards from DV to have my IP addy.

So is it Salty Dog's site?

They don't ask for an email address.

If you log on to their site they will have your IP address and will know your location, among other things, unless you're using a proxy.

The 'DV people' couldn't really do much with your IP addy.
I'm not exactly sure who actually set up that site, although there's a theory that it's a certain individual that was somewhat well known around these forums...

Assuming that you aren't using a proxy, and assuming the operator of the site is technically competent, they may be able to locate you geographically (roughly speaking), identify your ISP and, of course, if you make serious trouble they can hand over your info to the Man.

What a haxor could do with your IP addy is still a little unclear to me, but generally speaking I don't think it's something you want to hand out like candy. I think it could potential open you up to hacking attempts.

Posting here or on DV they have your IP Address.

I know all the staff here and trust them without question. And I know who most of the DV mods are, and also, for the most part, trust them.

But who runs this new site? I'm not saying I won't visit. I might just be a little cautious about posting under one of my standard handles. A random DV poster, regular or not, doesn't exactly inspire my confidence.

It's not a huge deal, though... I've already stated the city I live in, but I don't think anyone really cares.

They could potentially hack, I guess, but they probably have better things to do with their time...
