Hmm, and I suppose my cpanel webalizer and other various preintalled stat scripts store this info too, to some extent. Atleast it doesn't make it super easy and associate a username with ip address.

I'm not so sure any government parties in the U.S. would actually use the IP information. But I guess we could all speculate.

PaulM thanks for the help, I'm doing this now. I wonder if their IP addresses will still be stored in the database for each member or whatever.

I just searched for some IP addresses and found all the places they are stored. I use vbgallery so I ran

UPDATE adv_gallery_images SET ipaddress ='';
UPDATE adv_gallery_posts SET ipaddress='';

Then I ran this. Obviously if you don't use the gallery above don't bother running the above queries, they won't succeed. Of course these 2 queries are in addition to what paul said above. Just to be thorough.

UPDATE search SET ipaddress='';
UPDATE user SET ipaddress='';

I'm sure you can't be thorough enough, this is only to make things not so easy in the event your site winds up like overgrow.
