For users without showdead, the user darrennix (who appears to be the same Darren Nix who wrote the article) posted this comment. Why the mods or system would kill it I have no idea.

> It's a fair question and one that I asked myself. If the entire service is a fake, then it is an extremely elaborate one because the name and emails of the individuals it did indentify (which I noted was a small percentage) were real.



I don't know what kind of numbers we are talking about here, but if a user clicked through the OP's site to a tracked site, there would be referrer information that could be backtracked.


It wouldn't be able to include what search terms were used to arrive at OP's site like the email seems to be showing.
