Banned from Forum, Message Board; Tracking my IP address or cookies?

Hi, I was banned from www.bluelight.ru (username, "GoddessLSD-XTC").
This is about the fourth time. The last times all I had to do was
delete cookies. This time they must be tracking my IP address or
buried code somewhere else.

Is the webmaster tracking my IP address?

I deleated all temp internet files too.

I'm thinking, if I find the date I joined the forum (log on with
another computer) I could search all files with that date/time but if
the problem is my IP address, I'll hafta change providers . . .
planned to get cable anyway.

How bout stop being a twit and you won't get banned? You can get
around it if you bounce through a proxy server. You can use tor, or
ghostsurf. There are many ways around this that don't involve
changing providers, but if you insist on being an idiot, expect to get
banned repeatedly.

But if your username is real and reflective of your interests, a 12
step program would be better than a proxy server though.

Most likely and possibly blocking you using some other techniques as
well. If you were banned for a reason and the board admin became
particularly annoyed with you, most message board software offers
other, more sweeping and thorough, ban options.

Won't do any good.

Until they discover you're the same person or if you give the admin a
reason to ban you again.
