Very likely.

 You're going to make me go looking instead of just saying who it is, aren't you?

:-(

I wonder if it was someone who posted regularly or merely popped up from time-to-time.

Someone who posted regularly probably would have known better.

truth.

I remember being specifically told that this site did not have socks anymore ....  I stand corrected.

can't you compare the ip addresses to see if two accounts are the same guy? 

I'm pretty sure they still have to figure out who it is. Comparing the IP addresses only confirms suspicions and even then, there's a possibility that two people share the same IPs.

 there is?  how does that happen? (other than two people using the same computer)

 You remember...poorly.

For the record: This was not me. I hung up my hat after the last one, issued my apologies, and moved on. I'm simply done with that shit. Plus, my actions got Ric Olie banned and I still feel real bad about that.

 If it makes you feel any better, I don't blame you.  I blame Moth3r.

Why don't you PM Moth3r about this?  Perhaps you get him to change his mind or at the very least get an explanation from him that satifies you.

 A workplace might have a shared IP address for all its computers, for instance. It's uncommon though.

 Seems unlikely.

maybe, but why not talk to him about it?

You gotta blame Silverwook .... it was his doing.  Glad I know I wasn't paying too much attention at the time other wise I would have believed him.

To some extent what you say is true.

Your router generates an IP address that is shared by anyone on the same LAN. So if another family member or a visitor were to use your internet connection it would show up as the same IP, if you posted roughly around the same time.

However most IP addresses are dynamic, you usually have to pay a premium for a fixed IP and some IPs are more dynamic than others. For example since Sky took over my Beebox account we have been hopping around like crazy. One minute we are in Bath, one minute we are in Yorkshire, one minute we are in Glasgow (we are in Falkirk).

The IP address gives a general idea of where content is coming from. But say I were to set up a sock just as the IP jumped and didn't post as my main account until it jumped again. The IP would probably be useless (though only the most dedicated moron would go to such elaborate measures). If the user is using Tor even more so.

According to the American courts an IP isn't  enough to identify someone... but moderators on a discussion forum don't have to be as careful as a Judge.

Usually a sock will present itself more by the posting style than anything else (repeated phrases continual use of bracketed asides over use of paragraphing, misplaced, punctuation use of regional words and spellings) that sort of thing.

My experience in other forums tells me that socks will always be part of the mania that plagues forums.  It's on a "need to know" basis that one might find out who they are but since regular users are not considered part of the tightly knit "need to know" group, what were told is what we know and what we might suspect will never be revealed to us as true of false.

I don't believe socks should be allowed to exist but since I'm only a regular user my opinion will never matter towards what actually takes place.

In the end, it is what it is.

I'm sorry were those meant to be secret? ...opps
