I certainly have not posted from any other account. I would not jeopardise my reputation on this forum, this place gets me through work and keeps me in touch with the tigers. Seriously I don’t understand this IP stuff but my company I work for has 157 offices worldwide?? Could it be another Atkins employee because I can assure you I have not pretended to be anyone else! For one i am not this sad and secondly i enjoy the banter on here too much to do so.

The five user names mentioned are all posting from the same place, so somewhere in your office is ChampionsLeagueLeeds, if you find him, give him a dry slap from me. <ok>

Its strange though has far as I am aware no one in my office likes football though, its only small there are only like 40 of us and they are old engineers I am the youngest by some way really, could it be someone from another office?
 
Nope, they're posting on the same computer/server that you're on.

Same server so it could be anyone within my company? Sorry im useless with tech. I acctauly would quite like to know who it was if it was my office, there are a couple of young mechanical engineering grads down stairs but i thought they were geordies hmmm

Your offices will all have their own server, with their own IP address, so the five posting on the same IP as you are all in the same place as you. On that basis you should find you have another City fan in there, two Leeds fans(though at least one of them wasn't convincing as a Leeds fan) and the Ian Beale one must just be a fan of Eastenders!

Couldn't it all be the work of one poster (with several hats) in Cumbrian's office, if it ain't four separate ones)?:huh:

Very strange I think it&#8217;s highly unlikely that it would be anyone in my office though. I have logged in at home, uni lecture halls and a couple of public wifi spots on my blackberry could that be where the same connections has come from?

The IP that you registered on is the one that is recorded, your MAC address differentiates each separate device using a public wifi service.

I don't think there's anyway the other users can be anywhere other than in your office.
 
maybe its one of your mates who knows you come on here taking the piss and having you on...

Your mate (midlands) has hit the nail on the head James, but how long till you work out who we are mwahahaha. Sorry to all who I have offended I noticed James was on this a lot at work and wanted to see what all the fun was about and decided to wind you him/hull board up. No need to ban me olm I will delete this account after this post just to clarify its not James creating these accounts it was us, it was just a wind up don’t want to get Cumbrian (aka James) in any trouble with you lot. I guess he must enjoy talking to fellow small town club supporters, i guess someone has to support Hull. Unlucky for some.

Wtf, how do you know my name? At least I know you are at work now. My guess is Dale or Greg. I see the attempted joke here but not that funny to be honest. Email my work address to confess please? At least my name is in the clear on here now even if you don’t own up.

EDIT: He's now owned up via face to face comms, was infact the guy who sits opposite me :(

Most people are capable of recalling their own name when necessary.
