how do the admins know if someone was a member before

[rabit]

how can you know if someone was lurking before

If a new member joins, I write his/her IP down in my little notebook. I've been doing this since the very beginning, so I have a lot of little notebooks. 27 times a day, I write down all the IP's of all the members online at that moment, and compare them to the IP's in my little notebook.

[untuchable-me]

[valhallen]

dont think many people do - only person i can think of that would be an exception is NFG
but wouldn't need ips to spot her - she gives her self away with the tortue she bestows upon the english language
