If I get a spammer or a hacker report from a member I ban the address range by the C string. 111.222.333.*** Then I use the stop forum spam db to see all the nearby addresses and drop them in just for fun. I haven't had any spammers or hackers get through in months since I started doing that.

That would be an incredible waste of time... These are likely mostly dynamic IPs, in a few days they won't even belong to the people they belong to now.

Also- your vBulletin banned IP list isn't designed to handle hundreds (or thousands) on entries. Each IP is loaded on every page load- keep your banned IP list short. Ban IPs from your server if you have to.
