I'm sorry extremebikini, I figured those looking at this were coming from the thread where you mentioned it and I said I'd do it for Wraith. But yes, you are in fact the one that suggested the idea.
I haven't looked at your site as far as examples go though. The tracking by IP wasn't for a "whos online" but to avoid using cookies as they are not fool-proof. I figured with some work the "whos online" table could be modified along with some other scripts so the IP addresses could be used from that table rather than creating a new table to store IP information and related page views in it. That way when a certain IP address reached it's page view limit they could be presented with the "login or sign up" screen.
Once again though, Thanks for the cookie protection idea.
