Has anyone else heard of this system? I'm getting tons of FTP connections
from it.

The domain "pleasure.com" does not actually exist. The IP address used is
192.160.196.5, which is mapped to "pleasure.com". The IP address actually
belong to InteleCom Data Systems (NET-NET-IDS-COM).

Isn't mapping to a false name against the rules?

This site appears to a BBS for erotica gifs and such, which may violate some
of the regulations of some networks. Apparently a user can have that system
ftp files to their own account, which is why I see the FTP connections. 
however I am concerned about the methods used to do this, as it may require
the divluging of the users password.
