Hi Daniel! No rush vB modding is a hobby after all. I might see if I can cobble something together myself, because my PM box is cramping up a lot.

For people curious about the efficiency of this mod, I have had a reasonable amount of trouble with people from obscure ISP's, particularly one large one in Italy, getting blocked. However, it is very easy to ask them their ISP when they complain, then google the ISP and find out that it is not a proxy. Then I manually create their account via the adminCP, making sure to set the "IP on Registration" as well so it is no trouble to ban them if they act up. It takes about 5 minutes of my time, and it has happened 3 times since I installed. Of those three times, two of the new users bought subscriptions to my site because they were so impressed with the care I took to help them out

If you have an Italian board, I don't recommend this mod. There is a big Italian ISP that is marked by spamhaus because its dynamic IP system can be used by spammers (or something like that. Don't ask me, I'm an English teacher, not an IP person.)
