Rawls if he can hang onto it, I'd guesss
Attention MGoBlog Fans
Dear fellow Michigan fans,
As we previously reported to you, Brian Cook, proprietor of MGoBlog, is on vacation. What we neglected to tell you, however, is that the WLA rudely interrupted his vacation by kidnapping him and detaining him in an undisclosed location. As Proof of Life, here is a painting (srsly?) of our abduction of Brian:
There are worse ways to die
Yes, Michigan fans, your precious Brian Cook is under our control now. We hold him hostage, and we have only one demand:
Contribute.
Contribute.
CONTRIBUTE!
Brian puts a lot of work into this site, and he deserves to be rewarded. We demand that you throw some coin at him. If you do not meet this one completely reasonable request, then the WLA will be forced to take over editorial control of MGoBlog ... permanently. This would mean no more Brian, and lots more Dex.
Artist Rendering of MGoBlog Community in aftermath of WLA takeover
We know the prospect of a WLA-controlled MGoBlog.com scares you, and quite frankly it terrifies us as well, so change your soiled undergarments and do what is right.
CONTRIBUTE OR DIE!

Sorry, not possible -- just like the laughable concept that a poster could be "banned" (even by Brian).
Just how long do you think it would take to go to any of the free e-mail sites, create a new e-mail, and re-register on MGoBLog?
5 Minutes??

Change IP
Change IP
Before trying any other methods to change your IP address, try turning off (or unplugging the power of) your Cable/DSL modem for five minutes. In many cases this will change your IP address. However, if that does not change your IP address, repeat the process for 8 hours (overnight works well) instead of 5 minutes. Hopefully this will result in an IP change.

You can also ban an IP range. Your re-set trick will change the last part, but not the whole IP.

Wouldn't that ban a range of individual IPs and potentially many other MGoBloggers?

Its just the post. I know that for all the things Brian has done for us he deserves our money. No doubt about that. I'm just saying that the post was a fail. The idea was good, but the stupid story behind it was a fail IMO.
No Offense. It's just that no one can replace Brian.
