I remember some users with phpBB signatures some 20 years ago that did the "I know where your IP address lives" trick. Yeah, a bit surprised this is still being done, only today not as some silly troll move in a forum but on some professionally designed website.

Yeah I totally remember people embedding an "image" which was in fact dinamically generated with PHP, showing the reader's IP or geolocation.
