Big Brother is watching!

Post by Wind In My Hair » Thu, 08 Dec 2005 7:48 pm

has anyone else noticed SMS' new signature? i didn't believe it at first but when i logged on from two different pcs it could tell when i was using my mac and when i was using my windows and even which version of windows. and i have no idea what my isp is but it seems to know that too.

so my question is, what other information is SMS or anyone else IT savvy enough to run these things mining when we are logged on?

Seraphim, you've been here long enough to remember when I was running it before. Before anyone gets antsy, don't worry, I have permission from the mods to run it. Actually, I gave the program to SE as well.

Oh My God! You've got to be joking. You can run but you cannot hide from SMS.

Actually, that's why I wear the copper helmet, it's the only way to protect me from the constant data overload from all the randy thoughts of the female contingent on this forum! :devil:

Seriously though,this is pretty cool albeit a little intimidating. What else can you find out and how can I get this programme? Is there a way one can use it to get rid of the constant spam overload I seem to receive from the penis enlargement contingent? :shock:

GC,

When I first started running this back in May there were quite a few posters were were a bit intimidated. Even though the program is absolutely harmless I did PM the Admin to run it. All that was changed was one of the individual messages. Otherwise an all clear. And as I said, Even SE wanted it (and got it).

Look at the lower right of the sign and type the url into your browser and all will be revealed. Please enjoy using it as much as I have.

speaking of big brother... in case the admins are reading this, the site's been pretty slow lately.
