1) Your IP address can change. Your ISP will try to assign you the same number but they don't always.
2) When Freak mentioned anonymizer sites absolutely you can hide your IP. Basically you connect to their servers and they connect to the Hogs so The Hogs doesn't know your IP address.
3) You can have multiple ISPs and change ISPs.
4) Not only is there home and work, but you can use a library network, boyfriend, girldfriend, parents, ...
5) Now with WiFi you can go to a hot spot.
I know it's Pods because it's Pods. The one thing that the IP address issue probably did affect was the amount of time Pods spends on the site. But that's probably affected too by there are just way more message boards you can connect to then there were in the day.
