a curious question
I've looked through the source of PHPBB, a forum system, and I was wondering why they encode IP's? Does it increase secruity?

as an educated guess i would say it would be for security reasons. Although i havent looked at the source myself, i would say it makes it alot harder for hacks to crack into there forum software??

My guess is as good as yours... Maybe to prevent IP Spoofing?!
