What does IP: logged mean?

In the bottom right-hand corner of every post. Right next to "report this post to a moderator". What is it?

I believe it's so they can tell if someone hacked your account or not

We're logging your IP so we can ha}{0r into yer b0x d00d.

Actually, I would assume either mods or admins can check to see what IP was used to post the message for security reasons. It's probably "Logged" with a link to force an identity check before sending the information across an unsecured site.

It's a way for us to log the last time you peed.

Is that the number of trips to the bathroom, or number of times I've peed? Very different answer, here.

A little bit about your IP address (Internet Protocol address). When you connect to the internet, either via your internet service provider (AOL, Prodigy, etc.), or your office LAN connection, you are assigned an IP address. This address identifies your computer from the other computers on the internet. Your IP address can be either static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning each time you dial-in or login you are assigned a new address for that session. Check with your internet service provider or network administrator to find out if your computer uses static or dynamic IP addressing
