O, i wasn't contradicting you, I was merely trying to clarify my understanding for personal knowledge

Actually with RoadRunner your main IP (public IP) gets reset every 6 months or so.  My friends is reset like every 2 weeks to a month because he runs a server from his comp, using RRs bandwidth.  Thats one of the reason IPs are reset.

And _TT_ with the RR thing, my friends has been totally different before.  Like I remember his old IP (for his server) was 69.133.144.155.  Since then they have changed it like 6 times, now i know it starts with a 66, but I don't remember the rest.  So with him you would only be banning him for like a month or less.  That could be the case with other forumers as well.

Notice at the beginning I said dynamic.
If it resets every six months, its not dynamic assigned.
And I know that the #'s can occasionally be different, it depends on how large the pool is and a few other factors, However, there are ways around this.

Dynamic can change any time you complete the dora process, static means that it will remain the same unless a change is forced, like it being reset every six months.

Thank you for laying down the law. This childishness needs to stop. THIS KIND OF STUFF HURTS THE FORUM.

Word of warning ... just because I LIKE a person, does not mean that I will not BAN a person!

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few ... or the one.

Thank you, Jim .... though I find your response highly illogical ...
