Hey Shy,

I just went to "get code", copied it, and put in in my headline section again.  I've had to do that on a few occassions when it didn't seem to be tracking (which seems to be always now).

Ha ha....

Maybe this thread will help.

Hi,

I'm new to GuG. Well, I've been poking around for a couple weeks but this is my first post.

I started using trackspace recently, and I really like it so far - until this morning. The page is down...

Does this happen often for them?

I guess you get what you pay for, right? LOL

Thanks for the reply!

Hopefully it will be back up soon cause I was really having some fun with it.

Why would you want to use a tracker on myspace when it's against the TOS rules?

Is there some reason why you need to find someone's IP? What specifically are you looking for?

I could understand if there was a good valid reason for it, like a "stalker" maybe? But, me myself, don't feel comfortable going against rules of someone's property that I sign up for.

Plus, myspace finds them anyways, and gets rid of them. It happens all the time.

Now, if it was used for a website of your own and was curious as to who was hitting it on a daily basis and their locations...that might be different.

I knew this lady once that was obsessed with her husband's mistress. The mistress/husband had a short affair and the mistress got pregnant by the ladie's husband. I don't think the lady knew that, but she followed the mistress for years and years and would do sneaky things to try and find her, she could not let go of it all.

She'd go to extremes to follow her. She had a tracker on her website to see if the mistress was ever going to her site to see her husband in any way. It all backfired, though, because the lady was caught by the officials for cyber bullying. The mistress found out about all that the lady was doing from friends and finally got a PI to investigate the obsessed wife. They caught her and she was exposed.

That's just one story that went too crazily overboard. But, unfortunately, there are people out there that are that unstable.

Good luck with that.

Can you give me the name of the one that shows the Myspace ID? please

Well profiletracker will give you the ID most of the time - sometimes the ID isn't correct.  They try and match them up with hits in there database.  Sometimes it comes up with a "possible match" or "Likely match".  It is a good tracker though. 

 

Good point. Here is something found on the web:

"When you're a victim of a personal attack online, the first thing to remember is this: It's extremely difficult to put yourself out there on the web, but it's supremely easy to critique or mock others who do. The web is crawling with overcaffeinated surfers who have been staring at a glowing box for hours - not the ideal environment for human interaction. It's easy to take out frustrations on someone online because they don't quite feel real. Talking smack puts people in a position of power, one they want to be in because they feel small and weak in other areas of their lives. The key words here are "small" and "weak."

many people have many reasons for using a tracker. to them their reason is a real reason. you say the wife was exposed, it is not a crime or wrong to try to find out what ones husband is doing , the crime here is the husband commiting adultery. maybe the husband who had the mistress wasnt honest to his wife and the things she did were to get to the truth. when you have been with someone a very long time - married maybe you just know when something is wrong, you sense it like a sixth sense. so a wife trying to find out about her philandering spouse is not doing wrong - she has a right to know. he is wrong for going against the marriage vows , generally the wrong doer tells mistress the wife is a little crazy, but tells the wife the mistress is crazy. obviously in these situations it is the wrong doing husband who has the issues - not mistress or wife. people tend to blame the other woman (or man) rather than their own partner because it is too painful to think that the person you married and who is supposed to love you is deceiving you.

also it isnt really going against myspace rules because myspace has brought out its own aplications now, one being remarkably like a tracker - called profile counter and i don't think myspace would go through millions of profiles just to see if there is a tracker code hidden in them.

trackers can help catch pedophiles or criminals and protect vulnerable adults and children etc- that is a good thing.

what im trying to say really is who are we to judge anyone elses situations, every one thinks their reason is important.

sorry if i went on a little bit but when i read this i felt sorry for the poor wife who was firstly decieved by her husband - he even had a child to his mistress - poor wife that must have hurt very much, i think such a painful experience would send many people over the edge, make them unstable. then to be "caught" for bullying must have been difficult to her seeing as she was the one originally wronged.

I LOVE GUG

Yeah, the husband was just as much to blame, but the wife made her choice to stay with him and continued to follow the mistress for over 26 years.

Now that's a little extreme if not psycho. I can understand her being hurt. That would hurt me really badly and I do feel for her, too, in this situation. But, she forgave the husband and according to my friend who knew her, said she followed the mistress to different states, talked to the mistress' ex husband, her friends, sent the police after her telling them that she was harassing her. The mistress lost the baby. I guess she was only pregnant for a couple of months.

You read stories like this in the newspaper.Like that one lady astronaut that drove all the way to Florida (wearing diapers so that she would not have to stop at the restrooms) to spray something on her ex boyfriend's new girlfriend---something like that--

In those cases, I would definetly get all I could to protect myself.

They're up at this point in time... 11:40 west coast.

I had a visit from someone in Southern CA that came from my friends list... supposedly. I don't have any friends in L.A. Not to mention it said that they were "private" and how can that be if it was one of my my friends??? I don't get it...

You're right.  It catches people but it does not put them in the correct location.  Mixmap does it better.  I really miss Spyspace. 

They seem to be down (again). Usually it takes a day or so and they're running again. You may have just been unlucky this last week, they've been hit or miss and you must have missed. I was able to sign in yesterday but then later on and up until now - nothing (again).

I find Trackspace to be very tempermental especially lately. Sometimes it won't display page but often I find that when I clear all my cookies it loads ok - not today though. It was fine earlier but playing up now. Maybe they're doing work on it or something. Wish they'd bring the Top Visitors feature back.

If I knew of another reliable and invisible one, I'd try it.

I'm able to log on and catch hits as of right now. But I'm sure history will repeat itself and I'll get that STUPID error message again within the next couple of minutes. Gggrrr.

Who runs Trackspace? I feel like throwing something. LOL. I guess you can't expect too much from something that is free though, right?

I've been trying to log on off the past few days, and finally last night I was able to. It LOOKED like it was working - I tested it with a few hits myself (which were picked up, along w/ a few others) but that only lasted about 5 minutes, and then it gave me the error again. Haven't been able to log on since. GGGrrr, this is so frustrating!!

I'm tempted to give up and try another tracker in my headline, but I'd really like to stay with Trackspace. Which headline trackers would you guys recommend? Mixmap? That's the only other one that I know of.

I......... hate.......... TRACKSPACE!!!! Uggg.

Okay, I actually love it. But I hate it when it's down!

"Hi, I'm MI40....and I'm a Trackspace addict."

"Welcome, MI40."

lol

The last three days I have been having problems, once in a while it will let me in but now I keep getting this, this is pissing me off.  My target is harassing me from a fake space and I can't call her out cause I can't pull up my ip tracker. GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. 

Connect FAILED: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

wb,

I just tried it and it worked for me.

Trackspace has a tendancy to come and go.....but it is a GREAT tracker. (it matches up dynamic IP's----unlike most other free IP trackers). 

here is an article about the HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error

also, screengrab (the Firefox addon) is excellent at grabbing a whole page and not just the visible portion.
