Where did you hear this?

By the way, I saw their privacy policy, and yes it says they save date time, and IP address, but they don't say they save that WITH the query information. Most all webservers (including the one tikicentral.com is running on) save the date, time, and IP address of everyone who accesses it for server logs, although in Tikiroom.com's case, those logs are indexed then thrown out on a daily basis, and only the totals are saved. (names, addresses, email addresses, etc cannot be collected by webserver logging tools)

EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw where they say it's saved with the query. I need to learn to read better.
