Subject: Banning IP's

Hey Steve... the thing is, if you ban an IP and someone is using an Internet Service Provider, like AOL, or Mindspring, or anything to that extent, their IP address changes everytime they sign on to the internet... therefore, it is almost impossible to ban someone using that type of connection, if they have a Cable Modem, or an ISDN line, the person usually has the same IP everytime, making it easier to ban them... that is why you cannot Ban Tommy, like you want to.. there is no real way around the ban, its just that you never truly get the same IP address each time you sign on to the internet...

PEACE!
