Re: same network?

IPs change all the time. They're dynamic. So you just ended up with an IP that someone previously registered those accounts with somewhere else. Wait a week or two (or something, IDK how often IPs change), and it will go away.

And BTW, this should go in the All About Scratch forum. Reporting.


Yawn.

Re: same network?

You can get that a lot. If you want to know what Scratch accounts are near your location  (IP's are given to an ISP who gives them out randomly on demand) then just pretend to make an account and see who pops up.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

It doesn't matter. Just ignore it.

Re: same network?

When you are using your phone, you might be sharing an IP address with some other people using the same phone service...so their accounts will show up when you go to make another account.  It's something you can just ignore.
