For acc to function, they need to know the IP address of the requester.
Otherwise it would be flooded with sockpuppet and vandal requests and make
it useless

While this needs to be fixed, I think that this is a
perfect time for
ACC to discuss creating a system where user's IP addresses and private
information is not revealed.

Recently there have been a few changes to the
toolserver, including IPv6.
Around the same time, ACC (enwp Account Creation Project) stopped
recording
request IPs and replacing them with wikimedia
IPs. Examples
are 91.198.174.197 and 91.198.174.208. Could it be anything from the
toolserver side? I don't think we have had any changes made to the ACC
code
in the past few days (Though stwalkerster might
have updated the stuff
from
the sandbox to live--though we haven't had
any changes in the IP section
anyways).
