So yeah lets share our tips that have been useful.

I only have one.
Shave your butt hair. Always. Poo gets stuck there, and oh boy once it gets try it is a hassle to get out.


So let's share!

I'd like to share this tip because it has been extremely useful to me in school and various other circumstances.

Telling everyone you're leaving GBATemp for good and coming back a few hours later is a surefire way to make friends and garner attention.

Tip #1: Stop posting.
Tip #2: Shoot yourself.

Just the tips?

Other than the predictable sex joke about having a gay orgy party to share tips here's mine: if you feed yourself by reading online drama you will soon get fat and start sweating like a pig. And when people will ask you why you weight so much then run away crying it's all their fault and you will get a Steam achievement.
Also, don't do drugs, just smoke them.

You would be surprised.

A couple years back I used to use Opera Mini to log in on the Temp when I was on the go, I didn't have a proper smart phone at the time so this was really my only option and it worked well enough. One time it just stopped working - it kept maintaining that my IP is banned, but it couldn't have been, I haven't done anything and I could log in to my account just fine from my desktop and the desktops at university. I took the matter to the higher-ups at the time, we had a colourful conversation about the issue, they went through the trouble of checking the banned IP ranges of my entire mobile network and the results were negative - nothing was banned. In the end I mentioned that I was using Opera Mini - "Oh, that browser uses its own Opera-powered proxy, that's banned." "Why?" "Don't remember. Must've been some spammer, so we banned the whole range. It's cool now, you can log on.". That was a while back, oh yes!

So yeah. Not only can you ban dynamic IP's by banning the whole IP range, you can ban whole browsers if they use proxies of their own. ;O;

 

[Deleted-236924]

^ Well then if that's the case, then it also causes random people to effectively get IP banned as well.

 

[Helpful Corn]

yeah that's what I meant, it's impractical because of the collateral banage

IIRC Opera's proxy sends the original IP to the server as well.

...and whoever runs the server will care about a non-standard response why? Most popular proxies were banned at the time to cull down spamming - it worked!
