I don’t know what exactly Jothar is going on here that he is so certain that there was Chilul Shabbos Chas V’Shalom. Here is what I have found.
There was a poster called Ice-cream uscream we all…. His last post before being blocked was:
Friday 2011/11/18 00:07:25 NY Time, that is 12:07am Friday morning in NY. The post is at:

I will not post the exact IP to protect his/her privacy. But this is what I found on http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup
Country: Australia
State/Region: Victoria
City: Melbourne
ISP: OPTUS INTERNET – RETAIL
According to:
Shkia was 8:12pm on Friday 11/18/2011 in Melbourne, of course this can change based on exact location.
According to:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/difference.html?p1=152
Melbourne is 16 hours ahead then NY,.
Perhaps it was only 15 because of Daylight Savings Time so 12:07am in NY would be 4:07pm Friday afternoon in Melbourne, way before the 8:12pm shkia. If there was no DST then it would be 5:07pm, also before shkia. It is summer Down Under and Shabbos starts late.
What Jothar and Mod007 might have been referring to was the fact that there are often posts from similar IPs Saturday morning NY time, around 9:30am, this would be around 2:30am Sunday morning Motzei Shabbos in Australia which is way after Shabbos is over as well.
So as far as I’m concerned there has been no known Chillul Shabbos.
Acquitted of all charges of Chillul Shabbos!
Still guilty of being an annoying troll 🙂
