are you kidding me? you think the only way to track ip addresses is through this server?? look around online, major telecommunication companies GIVE the NSA a copy of ALL traffic. WE DONT KNOW WHAT THEY"RE DOING WITH IT!!! ITS BUSH'S LITTLE SECRET. I gaurantee you, they could write a program that harvests data from this site and puts us all in a database, it is effortless for them to collect your name and personal info by cross referencing this with your other web data. THIS IS NEW! they werent doing this 10 years ago because its technically illegal (but what do I know about information ethics, i'm just an it student). Still, I come to this site because I believe they have bigger fish to fry....
