PFQ School?!
Forum Index > PokéFarm > Discussion >
so in this thread Niet said that there's school's IP Address with 100+ account. Im really curious about it, and i figure i'll ask about it here. did anybody goes to that school? how it is there? did you guys making trades at lunch there or something like that? how's the teachers react to that? share your stories here to me and everybody that would read about that!

I wonder if it's a college campus where students have much more freedom and flexibility, not a k-12 school. That's just my guess as an elementary-certified teacher who's currently interviewing for my 3rd application cycle lol
Sidebar: as fun as PFQ is idk if I'd recommend this to my kiddos, until they reach high school anyway
Edit: also going back to re-read (and this is nitpicking) I wonder if Niet was referring to how across all the school IPs there are 100+ accounts. It feels like he would've said something like "there's one particular school IP out there associated with 100+ accounts" if one school IP had 100+ accounts associated with it
Although tbh idk how IPs are classified so idk if "school" is a valid category /npa

At least some instances have got to be college campuses. I've seen a lot of About Mes of people in their late teens / early 20s, which is around college age; and universities can have like >50,000 students at a time, most of which have the option to goof off on their laptops during class.
Plus if a K12 school had 100+ active PFQ users, that school would probably block the website from their own wifi lol. No fun allowed.
@Yahan convoluted explanation
Technically, yes, users from the same 'school IP' really refers to a group of different IP addresses... ish. Kind of.
Say you have a router at home, and its IP address is, as an illustrative example that would never really happen, "0.0.0.1". Then every device on your home network - your phone, computer, smart TV etc - will tell servers to send their responses to 0.0.0.1. If several people are connected to your wifi, it will look like all of you are sending from the "same" IP...
But also, and I'm omitting technical details because it gets confusing, your router essentially assigns an ID to your specific device, and it tells the server that ID so that the server, when it responds, can remind the router of which device is supposed to get the response. So the server would see something like, "Send this data to 0.0.0.1 and by the way remind me that it's for Device A." If your buddy logs on at the same time, the server gets a second request, "Send this other data to 0.0.0.1 and remind me that it's for Device B." So those could count as different "IPs," even though they're both going to 0.0.0.1, which is the same IP.
IP addresses belonging to schools are going to work the same way, except that A) many universities have their own permanent IP addresses reserved for their router(s), and B) btw they, and anyone else, can use multiple routers. So a university could own a router whose address is 0.0.1.0 and another whose address is 0.0.1.1, and each router has different devices connected to it. That's technically two IP addresses, one for each router. But people will still refer to them as "the school IP address" because everyone knows they both belong to this particular university.

Pssp.
It could still be a k-12 school. I've seen very smart people do very dumb things...such as hack into a school computer just to be on Discord. I could easily think one could do so with PFQ
But prob university def. And maybe he meant school in general.
