Actually cable users are not a real threat - DSL modems get new IP whenever they want
AND if someone really bother your server - do the network ban for board and via .htaccess.

http://www.drogart.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/odvaljot.gif[/] We are serving our users for free. Average age of our users is 16-22. Majority of these users are "kids" who just ran away from their parents and THINK they know everything.
Let me explain: we are a drug harm reduction organization and our users are in 99% percent somekind of drug (ab)users. They tend to go to "parties" (e.g. rave culture) during weekend etc.
Most of them have big problems with authorita of any kind. And most of them have problems because of parents: inadequate upbringing, physical and psychic abuse etc etc.
WE are understood to be their "second home". And they take it seriously to.
Since they couldn't evolve their REAL personalities in "normal" way for our community they are evolving their Digi-Selfs which is much easier since there is no visual contact necessary. Of course they "know each other" and "hang out" together but that is due to Digi-Self and not My-Self: lack of trust, lying, exaggeration, fears, paranoia are major reasons for "breaking up a friendship/partnership"...
This will become a really big problem with next generation...
So now and then we have a problem because they try NOT to follow the guidelines and rulez. And when they get banned they THINK it was unjustified so they want to "make a mess", "revenge",... you know
This users are my "threat"
