How to trick photobucket.com (and getting away with it).

The site http://photobucket.com/ (a free picture-hosting website) has a funny error in it that anyone of you little underlings can use to your advantage , if you know how.

You know how you create yourself an account in which you store the images into ? Well , according to the site's rules , you can only get one account per IP address. The admins over in photobucket are supposedly checking the various IP's that access your account at regular intervals. So , basically , if they find out that there's two completely similar IP's having two different accounts , you are freakin' busted !!

Well , what if your household has two or more computers ? Even with a DSL - connection (like in my case) both of your computers get two different IP's and the "administrative" people over in photobucket wouldn't really have any way of knowing if you've got two different accounts in one household.

But , what you deceiving little pumpkins have to remember, though , is to never access the secondary account from the primary accounts' IP-address. Use the computer that you've created the first account with only to access your primary account, and then the second computer (and the secondary account) for the other one. Never cross them , since that's what'll get you people busted and both of your accounts deleted !

So basically , it's possibly to have freakin' 25 accounts in that site just from one household if you've got enough computers and internet connections. Of course , the modem - users have it even more comfortable , since everytime they "dial" into the net , they get a new IP - address. So , the admins over at that site must be going real crazy when seeing a new IP-address accessing the account everyday..
