I/P
OK sorry to start another new thread when there is officially never anyone here on a sunday and there are many new threads below. but i am stuck working and i am really really bored. so roota tells me that edmund has now been barred by way of identifying his IP address, which is all for the good.

but i am so shit with computers that this does not quite make sense to me. what would be to stop him from changing his internet provider or computer, or always posting from work/cyber cafe/piggybacking on someone else's internet provider... or is this an unbelievably ignorant question? thanking y'all in advance for explaining this to a retard.

Its not possible, I asked for bert to be banned the same way. That's how south africa is banned because of Bou. You'd have to block a whole set if ip's at the same time and it wouldn't work unless they had a static ip anyway and never used another compu
So all the shitweasals are free to return and we can play with them until we get tired of them again.

it's OK clendrix, one day you will find a nice book that you will get pleasure from again at some point.
I know it doesn't look that way now, there are so many reference books out there, but one day, you'll be sitting in the pub and spot a nice fiction book that someone has left behind, and you'll pick it up and start reading, and suddenly it will make up for all those refferance books you have to endure in the past.

This site would be better if we banned English IPs

( Theoban What of it, Sun 8 Aug 2010, 17:03, Reply)

They can't.
An IP address consists of a string of four numbers ranging from 1 to 255, this is known as IPv4 and is, I believe, still the standard (although there's a new standard out there that's more complicated).

My knowledge of IP is incomplete, so I'll explain this as best I can.

If you imagine a housing estate, each house represents a computer and in order to post a letter to your house, you need to know the precise address. The first number refers to your home city, the next to your housing estate, the next to which street you're on and the last to the actual house you live in. All well and good. If you wanted to stop the members of house 164 from receiving letters you'd just have to block the house number.

That would be nice and neat, but it very rarely works that way anymore. IPs are usually dynamic and you'll be given a new one each time you connect. Instead of a row of 255 houses, you've got 255 post boxes on your street, any of which can be assigned to you at any given time. Suddenly the only way to be certain of stopping you from getting letters would be to stop letters going to your entire street. Obviously the other residents won't be terribly happy about that.

That's far from the only problem, you can go to sites that mask your IP address, for one.

Broadly speaking, the street address will be roughly analagous to a company, or an IP provider. So you can see that simply stopping service to a group of IP addresses in order to stop one person is something of a last resort. I can only imagine what this Bou person did to get an entire country's IP range banned. As escalations of hostilities go, that's a whole order of magnitude. Truly biblical beakering.
