    Well I have been using this laptop in a while and since the day I bought it from the store I have gotten spam ads like " Your IP in Deland has been selected for a free blah blah blah " and shit, all of a sudden its saying glenwood instead of DeLand which is what it is suposed to say. I just wanted to clear this up if the situation ever rises.

    And anyone know how to fix t hid, of course I could care less wha the ads say.

    This definitely should be in Tech Help.

    If they're ads in your browser, get AdBlock. Otherwise get MalwareByte's Anti-Malware and run a full scan, because you probably have a virus.

    Now that I think of it, yeah it should be in tech support, of course this is more of an explaination thread than a tech help. Incase the thing that happened to matt ever happened, paranoid I know.

    Well i am assuming you think i have a virus because of the spam ads but it has always been like that since the first day I had it, and it was a new computer from a local store.

    Well having had a quick look on Google Maps Deland & Glenwood aren't that far away from each other. So now a lesson in how IP addresses are assigned. Your ISP assigns you are random IP address from your area whenever you connect to their server. Most of the time this IP address will point to roughly your location, for whatever reason they'll assign you an IP address from some other location nearby. This is normal don't worry.

    For example I'm at home in Kent now & it will often assign me an IP address from somewhere else in Kent other than where I am. When I'm at university however, my IP address is static & always points to my university because of the way they have it set up.

    As for bringing up the Matt issue, he was a mod pretending to be a Jewish father of 2. Not quite the same. Besides we didn't get rid of him, he left.

    Do we have any proof he was lying?

    We have suspicion, and it is very clear, it is clear to everyone. Although, he cut the loose ends by having his account closed, and I don't think he's returned.

    Not even for the LP's.

    Anyone who thinks we need more mods is retarded. We have roughly 50 active users and about 6 mods.

    Well I believe the matter to beyond reasonable doubt. However, the point I was making that your point about

    is such a load of fucking bullshit it's unbelievable. What do you even mean "that thing that happened to Matt". Matt has had & still has every opportunity to prove he is who he says he is, he didn't have to leave. What are you worried is going to happen to you?
