Over the past several years, many websites have popped up in Carrboro and Chapel Hill related to local development and transportation projects.
Using the network analysis methods described in this CJR piece, I discovered that some of them share IP addresses and various analytics identifiers. As noted in the CJR piece: “It is highly unusual for sites to share IP addresses and analytic identifiers if they are not connected.” The following sites are all on the same server with the same IP address.
EstesNeighbors.org
CHALT.org
BolinCreek.org
AffordableTransitforAll.org
BookerCreekAlliance.org
Moreover, all five sites share the same root domain ourtownchapelhill.org, which redirects to the CHALT speaker page. Additional websites that share this root domain include:
BolinForestClimateAction.org
SaveTheChelsea.Org
CentralWestCitizens.org
SaveOrangeSchools.org
StrongerOrangeSchools.org
CokerHillsWest.org
SaveBolinCreek.org
SaveBolinForest.org
An archival view of ourtownchapelhill shows it is a sister organization of CHALT.
