The 127.0.0.1 is not your IP address, it is the IP address that the forums sees everyone as posting from; this is the reason that you might see "the last post from this IP address was less than 2 seconds ago" etc.

Now I know why I always get that message "last posting from this ip address was less than 0 seconds ago". It makes sense why that pops up to me now.

Well, technically, 127.0.0.1 is your IP address. You should be afraid, very afraid!
