Very scary lol.  There are several ways of retrieving all that information.  Im betting that everyone hitting this page gets its info sent back to the main server from where that came from also.

It's because when we load the page, we send a request out to the address that razore put in there, and they all get our IP's.  So lets all thanks Razore for illegally obtaining our IP.

Gotta love SBC with their 6Mbps tier for 45$
(Yes, on their site it only shows 3Mbps, but it is actually 6Mbps, I would know :)).

They obtained our IP address and also browser capabilities without our consent or knowledge. I'd consider that a low-level form of hacking... I don't know about you.

It's not illegal.  If you don't want to send that information (read the terms in your browser's agreement along with all documentation) use a different browser.  Your browser sends that signature to everything it accesses.  You connected to that server, therefore exposing your IP.  A simple DNS resolution of an address will show the domain (a vital Internet function).

If you seriously don't approve, move to Linux and make your own browser.  Beware, though--many sites won't send you any data unless you have a certain signature sent in your requests.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Yes it is.  How do you think the machine running the PHP engine can return that info for the functions you're talking about?
