Well, thank god they're stupid. I was definitely sniffing when I saw two first time posters in a row. If it's on the same IP that speaks volumes to the level of sophistication and tools...they ain't feds. Just dumb.

Thank you for the Welcome-- n8wide and I are partners and we live together. I've been reading RI for years, finally had the compunction to post, n8wide is not as familiar with RI but just as curious about recent events such as #occupywallstreet and the anonymous. I read RI a few times a week, only I just recently registered earlier this year.

Could be legit. Maybe.

I'd say let it play for now? Not like we can't pull the plug, and I'm definitely going to be hyper-aware of both handles. I would definitely like other mods to chime in, though. Waiting is.

I don't see enough yet to take any action.
I vote to give them a bit more rope.

76.241.187.101 Oak Park N8wide 1549
99.34.172.53 Detroit daimedreams 1513
68.42.67.242 Ann Arbor daimedreams 2312 0828 N8wide 2324
198.228.227.11 US N8wide 1451 1505 1520 South Bend (but hard to resolve, probably corporate, possibly same Oak Park location as above)
Looks legit. Posting from the same Ann Arbor IP in the evening and morning, posting during the day from different places (probably work), but in a tight window. They are probably at work, on IM, posting at the same time.
My first thought was to check out our semi shadowy friend TheHacktivist, but there seems to be no connection.

He seemed like he had bigger fish to fry than gaming forums.

Thanks for catching that, barracuda. Legit or not (and I think it's always reasonable to doubt Oh yeah, we live together), it's good to be, dare I say it, vigilant.
