The VCCCETGEEKS discussion forum has been deactivated and uninstalled. Lack of use and occasional spam problems led to the temporary closure of the forum in the past. Now with a few recent database issues because of the forum's joomla-smf bridge component, it has been completely removed.

An additional note, this site has gone almost completely dead other than spam bots trying to register and realizing they have no posting privileges. Whomever Seth put in charge of keeping this place going obviously hasn't done so, I will be getting in contact with Seth sometime in the future about the possibility of just taking this site offline, or scaling back to a smaller, static platform.

Need to quickly and easily find your IP address, host name, or browser stats? Then QuickIP.org is where you want to be.

This simple website, developed by a Valencia grad of course, can easily provide you with your external IP address, a reverse DNS lookup of that IP to give your ISP host name, and numerous statistics about your browser and computer system.

Some system related stats given are, your operating system, your screen resolution, and what browser you may be using. Browser specific data includes the browser's user-agent, whether JavaScript is enabled, is the Java Runtime Environment installed/enabled, and it also detect various plugins, such as, Flash player, Media Player, RealPlayer, QuickTime, and Acrobat Reader.

The site also includes a rapidly growing and easy to understand learning section with articles that enable the visitor to learn about the statistics reported and also includes a quick tutorial on how to enable javascript, for those that might need it (this tutorial can also serve as a way to learn how to disable javascript as well).

So next time you need to find your IP address give QuickIP a shot.
