I'll see if I can wait out an IP ban, apparently those only last around 100 days or so before they dump the data

I think its because some ISPs rotate users IPs, because we're running out of v4 ips, which every website uses.

Does your IP never change? When I had a landline I had a new IP every month.

Absolutely no idea! It's not something I've looked at. I don't have a home internet connection, I don't need one, so I just have my phone

Mobile IPs tend to change very often. You can look up your IP (there are many websites for this), turn airplane mode on and turn it off again. This could assign a different IP (at least it did when I just tried).

Good to know!

I'll lie low for a while. I had a cult following for my "performance art" so I'm not exactly easy to miss when I post one of my creative efforts...
