Well, it is an interesting idea. I'm on recolor as well, and it's stupidly easy to access adult things on there. I mean, you can filter them out, of course, but if you don't, they're mixed in all over the place.

I mostly like it because I don't have to feel bad about swearing.

[ml1201]

I'm liking the idea because of some of the RPs I do. ^^;

[Yokuutsu]

-shoves license at you...after I mark out my address-

While ya'll may not be creepy, creepy people exist XD

It's not something I need...it's just...some people prefer those type of rps. XD

I think recolor just has a thing, a check box, which of course people can lie about, but I think if the user lies, it shouldn't get the website in trouble.

Should and what really would happen aren't always the same thing.

[ml1201]

Um..yeah, if you try looking up my address from my license you'll find out something interesting about my father and be deterred from being creepy. XD

At the risk of sounding creepy myself, I'm going to hazard a guess that your address is on a military base and therefore your father has combat training.

[Yokuutsu]

I know if you go by my IP it will show a city at least 30 mins away....sometimes it will show a city across the state.

And that is why the address would be marked out XD

[Coda]

Well yeah, I know better than to trust GeoIP databases for anything actually IMPORTANT. :P

Edit: Relevant: https://xkcd.com/713/

[Yokuutsu]

I think in urban areas, it might be more correct since the IP or whatever over the area wouldn't be as big.

You know what I mean? Like they need more addresses? there and so there wouldn't be as many miles covered by it (Do I even make sense?)

[ml1201]

lol, you could say that Coda, my dad is in the Army. XD

[Coda]

Got it in one! XD (I didn't want to be so specific as to say "Army" because "Marines" for example would have been good and you don't want to call a Marine a Soldier -- they don't like that ;) )

Yokuutsu, we need more IP addresses, but not because of geolocation -- fact is we're just about out, there's less than 4 billion possible IP addresses with the scheme accepted by most consumer hardware, and considering that we average more than one Internet-connected device per human on the planet...

[Yokuutsu]

Well, they're starting to introduce a new thing? But that might just be website addresses? Idek.

[Coda]

No, there's IPv6, but it's hard to say they're "starting" to because the standard was ratified 19 years ago, and it's technically been usable since 2008, but the amount of traffic on the Internet that actually uses IPv6 is... I don't have exact figures but it appears to be less than 10%. Verizon didn't support it until 2009, T-Mobile didn't support it until 2012, and most home routers don't use it by default even if they could theoretically be configured for it. Only ~13% of websites can handle IPv6 traffic.

It's just depressing how slow this is moving.

I hope nothing happens to this site. The art is so gorgeous.

[ml1201]

I actually don't want anything to happen to this site either to be honest, even more so because of bad things going on on other sites I've been on/are still on. ^^;

[Yokuutsu]

Random, but a website is back up in open beta....and I'm watching it...it went down for a revamp, nothing was revamped, it was down for longer than it was supposed to be....because apparently college finals now pop out of nowhere and surprise students. Apparently they're not scheduled before the semester even starts anymore.

I don't have much hope, but I will wait, and watch.

[ml1201]

Yep, that site doesn't seem like it will be back or there for long if that keeps up. ^^;
