I wonder what name Tranqhair will have next time he's back...

Eh, not really. It's simple enough just to pop in a new network card. I've also run across some software that lets you change MAC addresses and such. It would make things a little bit more difficult than IP banning, but it is still easy to circumvent.

What he ought to do is call himself Tranqhaaaaaaaaair. Then everytime he gets banned he can simply remove an "a".

it's far easier than that. In windows the used MAC address is located in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
The numbers below that key are the network cards (so if you have two cards you'd see 0000 and 0001). Check the value "NetworkAddress". There is your MAC address. And yes, you can change the numbers (beware some ISP check the MAC address for account matching, so change at own risk!)

Gee you guys are just helping him get back. :cry:
I was hoping for some threads that had more relevance then trash for a little while. Maybe if we all just ignore trolls for a while it will help.
No trolls were harmed in the posting of this message. (Too Bad)
