So, would I be right in assuming that the applwis part could mean Appleton Wisconsin?

That sounds like a good assumption. The "pool" part makes me think that its a modem in a dial up pool.

The TDS abuse FAQ (search for "abuse") in their help system says that you should just send all the info (logs etc) to [email protected] and they'll take care of it.

Bub if this is for the account hosted with us, you can always email support @ poehosting.com and if someone is being abusive etc, we can help you. But dynamic modem pools are worst, ip will constantly change. But if it is for your forums etc, there are ways to ban groups of ips.

At one point with omm, it got so bad I banned all of italy from the server. It happens.

I can't believe anything bad could come out of Appleton, Wisconsin. It sounds so wholesome!

[Bub, Andrew]

It's a nice place. Houdini grew up there. They have a chocolate festival.

Wholly Schmidt, ask Brett Todd about the Italian, he will remember.

My employer is owned by Italians. Good times.
