video gaming (or, 208 = 80 = etc.)

We have seen that in 2003 and 2004 (and since), Rogers IPs bounce around quite a bit. Indeed, once one begins to look, it is not hard to find other places where the instability of Rogers' IPs can be seen. Consider the postings of a certain Necros at a message board dedicated to video-game graphics in the years 2003-2004. Each post includes not only Necros' name and message, but his IP-address, too, which allows us to detect some more IP-bouncing. 

Necros' first couple dozen posts on the board are from an AOL account. Beginning in September, 2003, however, he begins to post from a series of Rogers IPs:

The IPs, with the exception of those from the U. of Toronto seem to be all Rogers (with the possible exception discussed below), and again we see the propensity of the IPs to shift. Very common are 66.185.84.208 and 66.185.84.80.

Beginning in 2005, we can add a few more IPs.  A few more posts are here

no. 99, 100

66.185.84.76 (Rogers)






*According to ARIN: 63.139.106.197 now falls within a block that belongs to PaeTec Communications. In 2004, however, the similar IPs seem to have belonged to Rogers: see this log (search for the IP), and this one under Tue Nov 25 22:58:23 2003 , and this one under 2004/03/07 .
