Wow, that's interesting. From a Pebble perspective, IP
addresses are
stored in the following ways :
(1) The IP address of people that leave comments.
(2) The IP address of sites that send TrackBacks.
(3) The IP address of everybody visiting the blog,
regardless of
whether they are requesting a page, file or RSS feed.
If you didn't want to store IP addresses at all, you do this
as follows :
(1) and (2) can be addressed by writing a plugin (Comment or
TrackBack
Listener) that blanks out the IP address. The downside is
that you
lose the ability to do IP address white/blacklisting for
spam
protection.
(3) can be achieved by tweaking the logger implementation or
by not
logging requests at all, although you lose the ability to
get stats
out of Pebble (e.g. unique visits per day, etc). Of course,
you could
always manually delete all log files after some amount of
time (e.g. a
month).
In summary, there are some options, but it depends on what
you want to do.
Hope that helps

safe side and just store IPs when they are really needed and
delete them after some time.
