Ha ha root. A lot of people have my ISP. I'm not sure what a dynamic IP pool is, but I'm guessing plenty of other people have the same pool as me?
2540 addresses in that IP pool actually, a pool is a group of addresses owned by a company, Your ISP owns 2540 addresses on the branch that you are connected to... Needless to say a bunch of those will be taken up with the ISPs machines...
So there are 2540 addresses available to the area you are in (which could make it a village, small town or a neighbourhood exchange)...
In fact your ISP only has 657,009 addresses in total, so that only makes it a large town... or perhaps county. -certainly we arn't talking something many states wide like AOL!
Anyway, back to the 2540 addresses that you could be posting from.
Id say thats a small town...
So the chance of you knowing the man who posted on here as Elite gamer are reasonable...
But what are the chances of you searching for his username directly without knowning him? (note the highlight=Elitegame of your search for posts with IP addresses...) I'd say the chances of that are fairly small... (certainly a lot less than the 1:2540 odds you had a before you posted that link).
It made it really easy to see through your, "I found this thread and thought it was about a game" story...
If you've come here (and are indeed Elite Gamer) then theres a small button with a cross in the top corner of your screen that you should push...
If you know him and you've come here to stir up shit on his behalf, then again I suggest you use that little cross...
If you've come here knowing elite gamer (which must be why you were searching for posts with his name in them), yet want to stay and have a happy time then please do.
As I said before, (and LK is wrong here, and any other mod thinking they can post what and when they like is also wrong).
