    Help from me for what? There is nothing in the system that prevents someone with the same IP from signing up.

    IMHO, Yes, i think you are able to signup, but if mods think you are one person operating under user 2 usernames to get some benefits like proxy bidding for your own threads or supporting your own comments about anything (which clearly is not your intention), then you could get banned.

    Its just an opinion, i dont know what are the rules for 2 usernames from 1 IP address.

    oh guess there's nothing to worry then. i'm just afraid that:

    1) amitpatel has been (mistakenly) banned before.
    2) this colluague of mine might be doing some silly things and then i might be associated with him.
