I thought it was, but the post count didn't reset so I wasn't too sure.
I doubt he'll do anything with the IP addies, I think he's just trying to say "I'm on to you, stop bugging me, it's annoying" however yes I agree, if your ip makes it to some sort of spam list then complain to the list holders. I think that'd be most effective because they'll then deem all his info unrealiable. Actually they should anyway, proxy servers aren't generally used to send spam so if he does spread the addresses he'll only be making himself look stupid.
I think he doesn't realise proxies are being used, he just thinks there are visitors with a lot of ips to hand.
One other suggestion is just keep hammering on the registrations for as long as your patience holds. There are two tactics for this:
1. Slow and sure. 1 or 2 a day and they'll likely get approved
2. Hammer like crazy. 10, 20, 30, 40 a day all by different emails and ips, he may decide to reject them all, or he may decide to email them all, or he may approve them all. In all cases it's chipping away at his sanity because he won't be able to keep on top of them. Of course this method takes a lot more effort.
The overall idea being that he'll get so paranoid that he may demand you fill in a questionaire or something before you're allowed to post which will just stop membership. I doubt proboards has advanced features like post screening.
Another effect is he may ban wide ip ranges and possibly deny people who are geniunly interested.
Mostly, it's just (childish) funny though.
You (and anyone) can login in as
user: billt
password: cheese
though I'd ask that no one hangs around too long or posts or PMs anything*, just make it look like you're passing through, reading some threads then make sure to log back out, and don't do it too often. I don't think he'll get suspicious of that.
Keep in mind if you use a proxy that not all of them support the necessary stuff to login
* there are a couple of PMs in the inbox, they're just what's posted earlier in this thread.
Oh yes to save people logging in, this is the current ban list:
