correct me if im wrong anyone, but this is my understanding of our
situation:

we are hosted by anti-authoritarians on a server in greece, on a
university campus (interestingly the police are not legally allowed onto
the universities in greece, something to do with the role of students in
removing the military junta). I understand that the IPs of people
accessing our site are just not stored. Incidentally Athens indymedia
stores the IPs for a period of time, i think it was two days, then
deletes them, to stop fascists posting disinformation apparently. So its
not like we are hosted by a private company that keeps records.
