you know what, i live in a very small rural town and there was an ad that was directed SPECIFICALLY to someone on my computer who lives in this small rural town. you think i am being unreasonable?
Anybody who knows your IP (which that ad server would have to for the ad to be displayed) can get an approximate location based on your ISP... Take a look at this site, for example: http://www.iplocation.net/

Only your ISP knows your real location from your IP. And cops can only get that with a court order, at least in most countries.

Chill out guys, cops aren't going to bust in your door because of ads on RIU lol

Whatever. It's been explained plain and simple what's going on, if you wanna be paranoid about nothing, be my guest. Im thinking the only way for you to not be paranoid is to stay off the Internet. /shrug

The cool thing about this graphic is that when people see it, they think their private information (like their city or IP address) is being publicly shown on your Myspace background, layout, blog, or forum, and they think that other people can see their private info! Their first thought is, "hey, how did my IP address get on this website?!", or "why is this website telling people where are live?!" In reality, they are the only one that can see their private info, because the graphic is created in real-time for each person who sees is. When you see the graphic, you will see your IP. When others see the graphic, they will see their IP.
Most of the blog widgets, Myspace layouts, and Myspace backgrounds out there are pretty junky. We think the danasoft graphic is a much more stylish way to jazz up your Myspace profile, your blog, or your website, and there's no better way to freak people out and make them think that you are publishing their private info.
Of course, you can also customize the graphic with your own unique sayings: stuff like, "You are being tracked!", or "I am watching you.", or "You are not anonymous" - you can write anything you want to on your personal sign.
This sign makes people realize how vulnerable they are when surfing the web. If you're visiting this site wondering how we know your IP address, you should know that your IP address is automatically shown to every website you visit, including this one. Even if you just view an image from a website, like the Danasoft graphic, your IP is broadcast to that site. If that matters to you, make sure your computer is protected by a firewall, and consider using an anonymous IP browser.



so it broadcast it to the advertiser
and says it is a fun trick haha
and i good way to attract and retain members

This post shows how immature you are, you have absolutely no clue
you really should stop giving out advise
you have misconceptions about virtually every basic principle of TCP/IP
because of your lack of knowledge, you have created a drama out of thin air about pop up ad's and ip addresses
you are also creating dramas around the basic workings of the internet that you have clearly demonstrated you have no knowledge of

various people have pointed out that you are making something out of nothing,
the honorable thing for you to do would be to admit your error
thank those that have helped you .. and apologize to those you have been rude to

although i do not hold my breath waiting for you to do the right thing
and another thing ... stop acting like a cowardly summerfag, you keep sending me incoherent private messages ranting about how stupid you are

you should be ashamed of yourself .. you are an embarrassment :clap:

Why would i be mad ?
i have no problems with pop up ad's or ip addresses
neither does the majority of users here and on the internet in general
i am afraid, you are that stupid the penny hasn't even dropped yet
i fear that you are at a critical stage now, you are just a disgruntled nooblet,
do not become a troll, let go of your bitterness, as for your stupidity, stop being lazy and educate yourself
