playBunny: Aye, the IP address can be used to help in these matters.

No, it can't. An IP address is not a good indicator for personality. There are large ISPs out there with millions of customers (like AOL) that funnel most of the outgoing HTTP traffic through a relatively low number of proxies. And since it's the proxy that makes the connection to Brainking, it's the proxy's IP address that shows up. And if it's not web proxies, it can be NAT boxes. Ever used a laptop with a wireless connection? Chances are, you're behind a NAT box which means that anyone on the same wireless network will show up with the same IP for the outside world.
