I'll be happy if it's not him talking to himself. It was a nagging suspicion, that's all.
His first few posts today were fairly interesting. It's just the interaction that he can't do.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think the 192 address will register in the server logs. I'm pretty sure it's NATed out.
What I can tell you from the logs, is that for the 24th, 25th and a wee bit of the 26th, people came to us from the following hosts:

One of the IP addresses was an URL that translates to Spanish. The other two I can't get to through my firewall.
This is a total of 547 referrals, with the most being from whedonesque, fireflyfans.net, twop, the official FF board, scifi.com, and google, in that order.

If I only had a brain...
I blame Shrift.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think that's probably the list of what sites the posters were at when they linked to us, no?

Yeah, ita, are those the HTTP_REFERER addresses? Not the same as the REMOTE_IP or whatever?

Yup, that's it. If by "linked" you mean "clicked through".
And groups.google.com means USENET, effectively.
edit: Yup, referrals, hosts they were at when they came here ...

Hey! What did I do?
If the trolls are finding their way here because of me, then... then... I guess I'll delete all of my websites and go *poof* in a BNF snit of epic proportions!!!

Seriously, though, I can take some links down, but I think Variety has a wider readership than I do. I'm just sayin'.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The trolling has been surprisingly light. Just the two (or two and a half), really. I'm hoping that it's nothing more than 2002 getting its last licks in before we take it out to the back forty to put it out of its misery.

Doubt that.

More interesting would be the IP addresses of the machines used to make the posts. Some web servers log that.
