Username Reports
Yeah, I'm back baby!!! This question is for Salubri, though any admin can answer if they want. Well, Yesterday I got blocked because a user here named Orochidayu used my IP address to remove data here on Bleach Wikia. I'm obviously not upset with u, but could u tell me what an IP adress is. I'm always trying to learn more about computers & it would help, thanks. Minato88 07:20, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

"An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label that is assigned to devices participating in a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes. An IP address serves two principal functions in networking: host identification and location addressing. The role of the IP address has also been characterized as follows: 'A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there.'" From the Wikipedia entry on "IP Address." Twocents 07:42, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
