If I wanted to it wouldn't be hard to figure out what pool of IP addressess he is going to get his IP from and ban the lot from being used in registration for a few weeks. It wouldn't stop anyone already registered from posting, and it would keep out very few, if anyone else from registering other than this tool.

Personally though, I'm not that interested in chasing this goose around so he's going to be wasting his time 'refreshing his IP'. I'm looking forward to the next installment!

always interested in hearing the techo things from you (football too of course)

Belzbub or Rhino for sure?

Close to a 100 posts and 3500 views, gota love that work.

nope <_<

for starters...if I was that way inclined Id mask my IP..

also, simply not my style.

no sorry...move along to some other

[*]If you are posting from work you are probably NATed and it would be your works IP that would have been logged, they may or may not have a static so \"refreshing\" ipconfig /release & renew (windows), if you\'re running Linux then you\'re no doubt way ahead of this anyway, won\'t really help as the external IP will remain the same. Your internal private IP will probably not change either cos you\'ll probably pick up the same IP lease anyway (and it\'s not hard for the admins on a remote web site to grab your private IP anyway as it\'s in the packets you send, otherwise how would the data replies make it back to you if you are one of may PCs on a LAN)

Not many people are working with internet on a Saturday avo/night. If he was at work I imagine this would have occurred to him.

[*]If you are dialup/ADSL then you may pick up the same IP again after a disconnect and reconnect, but at the least you will get an IP from the same block that the ISP uses and with extra Demonland work some evidence could be gathered,they will be able to see from what ISP you were connected from a relevant lookup, maybe not enough for the Demonland admins to determine unequivocally your ID but it may be enough for a good start. I know one ISP that has different blocks for different states. Also if your were doing bad stuff the ISP logs would give you away but law enforcement needs to get involved on that one and there\'s no law yet against posting funny stuff, yet

It\'d probably be fairly easy to narrow it down, yes.

[*]Finally, why would you want to change your IP unless you were going to log back in as another user? That is the interesting part, with many possibilities from you weren\'t going to right through to who were you going to log on as

Anyway

The OP said he was a frequent poster on here.

It\'s clear he created a new account - and refreshed his IP - so this alias wasn\'t linked to his \'regular\' account.

I can confirm that it will be announced on the MFC website tonight at around 6pm.

This made it pretty obvious it was a troll.

First, why would we put news up on a Sat night?

Second, it was bait to keep people in the thread for another couple of hours.

dunno in what manner you wrote this in but I was joking btw.

Don't know much about this IP crap but you sound on the money.

As for your last part well hindsight is always great isn't it.

The absolute best ending to this thread would be if the proposed actually went ahead

Justin is the older one.....

The skinny lookin' geezer who never seems to shave properly.....

Got to say I Like Love the avatar KrazyJay........nothing else to say on this thread.

I will only say this once.

Jamar and Rivers are off to Port Adelaide.

In return pick 8 and Justin Westhoff, you can expect an annoucement as soon as tonight or tomorrow morning. This is locked.

I hear Everitt is coming to Melbourne for pick 18 which looks certain to happen but I can't comfirm this one.

Would be a crap deal :angry:
