Personal Information and Security
Due to this ruling on Youtube! we are adopting a new standard of deleting logs after a month. Hopefully other sites also adopt this method.
What this means is, that we will be deleting our log files monthly, that keep track of your pages visited, and your IP addresses. While this information helps us track down multiple accounts and cheaters, at some point in the future that information could be requested by some bully corporation, and if this ruling is any indication, we'd be required to give up your personal information and your browsing habits to that corporation.
To keep it simple, it means that we're protecting your privacy, and making it harder for large corporations to request information about where you've been looking on the internet.
If you share a computer with someone else, you're fine! Don't worry about it :)

Keith, one question. If we have linked to a youtube video from here, then google would have our ip address, right? Or not?
I'm not sure, but if that gives them my IP address, I think I'll delete my youtube from my profile. xD

I actually heard about that in the news last night. Viacom is seriously irritating right now. The only thing they accomplished is for people to be mistrusting of them and their companies.

my cousin (although hardly ever on) uses the same comp for her account when she is here also the school ones...
'Nother one here since people seem to agree: Maybe there should be some sort of tabs system for people who have, well, other family or friends on one IP? Or something similar?
Ah I see! Cheers Keith <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> All in all this seems like a good idea to me then <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Oh, and Keith - thank you for thinking of us. Once again you put the users first. That is what makes this site so different.
Quick, everyone grab your tinfoil hats! xP
Seriously, major thanks to Keith for this. Suck it up, Internet police, some places don't obsessively stalk their members.

<img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_confused.gif" border="0" /> I'm confused...but I'll probably get what you're trying to say Keefy in a little while. xD
My kids all have accounts, and we just mailed a UA with their account names. That way subeta knows who plays from my house and on my IP address. I'm not worried at all that this new change will cause any problems with me and my children getting frozen for multis. <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Nothing on the site will actually be changed. You won't notice any changes, it's purely a backend change.
Your accounts will be fine (including pageviews!) and feel free to continue sharing home computers with other members of your family <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Great that this is going to have multiple uses, meaning it'll help getting rid of those little boogers that cheat and have multiple accounts and what have you, but what about the people who have 'multiple accounts' because they have more then one person at home using the site? Will they be punished or will it all be looked at case by case? O: Saying this because a few people I know happen to have large families and hence have several accounts to one IP, and they're good people. o-o
Uh oh... I hope viacom doesn't come sue me for stealing their videos. x)
So... thanks, subeta! Good to know you care enough to cover all our asses. (And I mean that in the least sarcastic way possible.) <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

All sites generally keep a log file, apache (which powers most of the internets) automagically does it.
I didn't even know there was a log file. <img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />
thanks for caring!<img src="http://www.subeta.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
