Subject: Showing IP addresses= Security Breach

I just realized, skimming the site that "Rocky Ridge" shows the IP address you have. Normally, this would not matter to some of you because you have what is called a dynamic IP (i.e. dial ups get assigned a new one everytime they connect to the net), but for those of us with static IPs (cable, ADSL, etc)it leaves us vulnerable to attacks out on the web (from hackers etc.)This needs to be fixed asap.

He frowns. "Yes, I see the trouble there. I myself have an ADSL connection and shall have a word with Nightmare (the owner of Rocky Ridge) immediately." (OOC: And he means immediately- I play her! Thanks for telling me about that.) (NT) -- Steel Dream, 13:52:01 12/06/01 Thu
- *Rolls her eyes* Yes, it's all very well that you're going to 'tell' Nightmare. Fluffy, would you mind doing something about it? I don't think that the player of Disturbing Memory just wanted to be replied to and thanked, I think she was probably hoping that you would change Rocky Ridge. **Hint hint** -- Kate, 12:11:44 12/07/01 Fri
  - Ma'am yes ma'am! I have nothing better to do, of course. (NT) -- Fluffy, 17:24:17 12/07/01 Fri
    - Hot Dog! It's fixed!! Thankies to all!! (NT) -- Disturbing Memory, 23:37:34 12/07/01 Fri
"No problem. It certainly makes life easier when people's questions pertain directly to my player's other characters. Well, she likes it anyway!" "And everyone's been bothering me to update for ages, so it was good that our player finally forced me to actually do it. (NT) -- Steel Dream & Nightmare, 13:32:13 12/13/01 Thu
