You guys know they haven't allocated IP addresses by class since the 90's, right? The guy's IP block could be /anything.

If you honestly think that it will have a huge effect on your playerbase, you've got some issues. The likelihood of multiple people playing on such a limited IP range is so small, you'd have a better chance of playing the lottery. Plus it only really needs to be in effect for a few hours or days. After they can't get the server to respond, most people stop trying. Oh, and a class B (/16) is only 65,536 IP's. Considering there are 4.2 billion IP's out there (including RFC 1918 addresses), it's a drop in the bucket. Matt Stanton wrote: > Ban a whole class b network block.
