Some time ago a guy posted the IP address of a site that was posting to multiple advanced guestbooks. Does anyone have the IP address? I'd like to add it to my banned IP address list.

Thanks for that. They have spammed me in the past.

You will have to add the entry in your htaccess as 212.98
that will ban his entire ISP. He has a dynamic IP address, and blocking the actual referring site will not help.
Don't worry, it is an ISP from Beirut, Lebanon. I don't think too many people are concerned about Lebanese visiting your website.
two other things to consider, which is what I have done, is to change the action method of gb_action to a customized method of either just action or gb_actionmethod. That will cause him to have to rewright his script just to suit your site (won't happen) or to add a human verification system.
I did all three, and also added a bot block, and added a spam trap, and encryted the email addreses.
very very effective. No problems since
