Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire ID'ing The Sock Puppets

GFY. I am not I'll-tempered.

FWIW, I'll wager a six pack of Bent Nail IPA's that TAK is our new drone expert CrackaJack85..

That now makes 4 user names for the loser.

All of which you listed are to me, "Outdoorsy Stuff"

BTW, unless you have a hayburner in your living room I'm thinking that you spend a fair amount of time under the wild blue skies. Could be wrong tho'.

Have another beer or whatever it is that you're on.

On some dial up ISP's you get a different IP each time you log on.

Someone who considered themselves to be a "hacker" thought they were "tracking" me once and said I was in Kansas

Well, one out of four...

MAC addresses work alot better.

Yes, that's true,...but I'll guarantee you, if the Admin here has the right switch flipped, (notify me when someone accesses multiple accounts)
he's getting notices that say,...
"Bob' has signed in under John' previously"

It's not so much of pin pointing your location, it's if someone else logs in with the exact same ip address that another account has signed in with.
I've never witnessed it as just a "fluke".
The funniest thing, is as an admin, watching these people who THINK they're being sneaky!

Just my opinion, but I think Rick allows it for the most part because the sock-puppets and trolls stirring up the turds is good for an increase in traffic/posts. Which in turn makes him $$. The more hits/traffic and posts to the Campfire allows him to sell advertising for a nice chunk of change.

True, but irrelevant here. The MAC address of your MAC card that is placed in a packet traveling over a network gets replaced when it arrives at the next device. So, when that packet gets to your router, the router's MAC address replaces yours. When it gets to the ISP's router, your routers MAC is replaced with the ISP's. This happens over and over all the way to the destination. If you're ever curious about how many different routers your packets go through to reach the Campfire you can go to your command prompt and run a trace route command. You'll see all of the routers and IP addresses of them that your packets go through to get here. So, while your MAC address does uniquely identify your computer, it's not something that is usable on another network to identify you.

The Campfire needs a different registration process. One where the user provides their phone number. Upon submitting the registration, a text is sent to the phone with an access code.

The user must enter that access code to confirm their identity. This ties the account to that number. Limit one account per number.

People are far less likely to have a multitude of cell phones.

You could always just make people enter a credit card at registration as a means of validating their identity.

and it provides entertainment.

You are aware that Shearer has changed his moniker from RISJR to Isaac, his middle name, aren't you?

Don't forget that Isaac was an active principal in Obama's reelection.

Most of all, Isaac is one of the bottom feeding lawyers who makes blood money destroying families. Other lawyers have no use for divorce lawyers. And he's a divorce lawyer because he can't practice legitimate law.

In essence, the king of Hanes sock puppets is none other than over-the-calf Isaac.

you scumbag sack of chit Bob changed his user name to RISJR , to honor his father when he passed. his user name has always been Isaac, except for that short period of time. you want to be a douche bag more power to you but get your facts strait .

That's what I thought you said laguna.

So, you are saying that a sock puppet created a thread bitching about sock puppets?

Where would the reasoning be behind that?

Changing a user name isn't the same has having multiple identities to post continually under, depending on the mood of the puppet master.

Most lawyers do vote democrat. That is a fact. They do that out of wanting job security. Conservatives are the ones that vote for tort reform. Liberals want to sue everyone for everything... So even if they happen to BE conservatives, they still vote democrat.

Bob and I have had our disagreements. But, as he said, they were straightforward disagreements and debate. No deception needed or wanted.

Spot on...Bob has never tried to hide who he is, what he does & where he does it...sansucky not so much.

The facts are, stxhunter, is that Bob did change his name. Why he changed it is immaterial to fact that he did.

As for me, I screwed up my email verification when I changed email accounts due to an ISP change.

I rehabbed a very serious injury and no longer needed a diversion. When I returned, I had forgotten my user name and password. And when I'm done rehabbing my most current injury, I'll out enjoying my life. In fact, I hope to spend a lot of next month in the Eastern Sierra chasing trout.

And the fact, Mr. Straight Fact, is I have never, ever attempted to conceal a damned thing.

Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are. If you call Bob friend, you need a new picker unless, of course, you're a liberal, neocon, RINO just like Bob. That, Mr. Straight Fact, is another fact.

Laguna was a fugging retard, so rehab hasn't done much for you has it?

FACT! Whoever said it.
