Why people always think that we do ilegal thinks, when we want to remove the IP logging?
I'm from Germany. And we have a new telecommuncation Act that ISP's must save the IP, visited sites and her email messages for 1 1/2 years!
So a lot of privat people don't want it. And many webmasters will host in US and Malaysia because they hope that the state didn't give any data to a german Criminal Authority.
And its not a Rarity, that the german law instructs people to hack the website, that they can get a mysql backup! I and many other german webmaster want to protect members and myself.
if you dont trust my words, google for "vorratsdatenspeicherung"
