Dupes is a very argued term used by the staff of bootleggers time and time again and never actually looked into properly by the staff and especially admins of Bootleggers... Knowing PHP myself, I know that there is one line of code that should stop dupes occurring all together, functions scripts are run EVERY time a page is loaded on a browser game so why don't you add a script in there that checks the IP on the account that the person is logged in on and then cross reference it with the database and if there is a match BOOM!!! All accounts with that IP address GONE! Who cares about the family accounts they can play on the same account if you just would make that part of the TOS that families can make ONE account and everyone in that family plays on that account instead of making dupes because that way there wouldn't be the lies of the people that SAY that they have more than 1 account on their IP because they live in a family of bootleggers players and they are actually just DUPING. Sabin you made an article saying that you would like to stop this all together, DO IT!

Second. This one is just a question but I've always wanted to know and it would be much appreciated if one of the Admins could tell me this but why are the staff not friendly around here? Say if I sent Sabin (I know he is a very busy man) a BM saying "Hello how are you today?" that bootmail would NEVER in a thousand years get answered; why? God knows, but I'm sure I speak on be-half of the Bootleggers community when I say that it is because they are just ignorant and the answer from the staff that do this will be, "There are over two thousand people registered to Bootleggers.us and if we answered a Bm from all of them we would not have time to get some real work done!" GRANTED! But just every now and then a little tiny B< would be greatly appreciated. I tell you the first BM from an Admin I get will be screen shotted, printed out and put on my BEDROOM WALL! Thats how rare they are FULL STOP.

Thanks for listening, now I'm going to have a donut!
