You don't know very much about IP address's do you?

Telnet connection detected.

Access denied!

[TELNET] INFO: DISCONNECTED

You banned everyone that uses Frontier Communications from the northeastern United States. ROFL

I would guess at least thousands of users.

You didn't ban one IP, you banned an entire block of IPs.

All for logging in and collecting information which I can do from my office. ROFL

What are the odds that one other person from Frontier other than Big D plays on Helix's server?

I think there are better odds of me winning the powerball lottery :P

What a helpful constructive thread. I'm sure that's what
this forum is for, personal jabs and taunts.

/sarcasm


D, are you trying to be helpful, in telling a sysop how to more
effectively ban a person's IP?

I really could care less since I don't play at your server anyway. The rest of these guys are correct, the odds of even 1 of those 1000 IP's would play at your server would be astronomical. If a new player ever did play at your server, it probably wouldn't last long anyway once they found out how you use your tedit skills to cheat them out of whooping your butt.

No, I'm telling him that banning my IP for anything doesn't matter to me. There's a ton of ways around that anyway. The only players he'll keep out is IF and only IF (doubtful) one of the 1000 IP's he banned decided to play a game at his server. (Again, highly unlikely)

As you can see, there are many ways around an IP ban. ROFL

No, D just likes to stalk and harass Helix. That is what this forum seems to be for lately Image

D, thank you for letting H know that he had an issue.
It should have been handled via PM though.
