The script is 100% accurate since it injects code into the cookie set by your forum. If someone goes to: hxxp://www.yourforum.com and then hxxp://youforum.com - that will generate 2 different cookies (the same if you have different TLDs (.net, .org., etc.)) and therefore 2 different screen-names can go unnoticed.
If they share an IP, and it is not a proxy-server IP (and they are not spoofing their IP) then they are the same person.
