With the server in place in Pennsylvania, the powers that be have access to:
1. The IP addresses of everyone who hits the site.
2. The URL of the site that linked to Azzam, in cases where there is a linking site.
3. A knowledge of any methods or tactics advocated there.
One of the things I enjoy about running my own web server is scrutinizing the logs... and seeing who is wasting time looking at the various things on my server.
For example, if you
click here, I'll see your IP address in my log, know that you came from Free Republic, and see that you wasted time looking at my NMR of Mountain Dew page :-)
Just to let you know I clicked and prefer DIET Mountain Dew. Plenty of caffeine for those late nights on FR and no sugar!
