I love me some good old fashioned verification, so thanks for falling on that sword for us. (No way in hell am I clicking through to that shit hole though.)

Da fuq?
My general attitude is similar to yours. Let OP figure out that the reporting and blocking is basically just creating more noise that has to gets filtered out and bot supply is basically infinite.
"It's a learning experience."
Good luck with that, I suppose. Botnets can have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of infected hosts that will endlessly scan everything on the interwebs. Many of those infected hosts are behind NAT's and your abuse form would be the equivalent of reporting an entire region for a single scan.
But hey! Change the world, amirite?
That comment is pure gold and I am archiving it for future use.
I don't want to go so far as to tell you how to think, but as long as we are talking about how to visualize IP addresses, you may want to check out subnets and subnet masking.
The notation of IP addresses starts to make sense when you think about the early days of TCP/IP when all IP addresses were public and NAT'ing wasn't really required yet. Basically, there needed to be ways for networks to filter traffic by IP blocks that were applicable. (It was [in part] a precursor to collision avoidance, but absolutely not the full story.) We still use addressing and masking today, but it's more obvious when it's local. (Like in data centers, where it's super practical to mask off a block of addresses for a row or rack of servers.)
To your point, yeah. IP addresses are probably more comparable to the Dewey Decimal System rather than actual numbers and thinking of them as strings is probably easier.
255
Small correction, but an important one: 0 is a number too.
In terms of IP masking and broadcast addresses, the max is 255.255.255.255
For those who are still confused, ping works with 32 bit unsigned integers. While there certainly are more uses, it's a much more convenient method for storing IP address in a database as it's easier to sort and index than 4 numbers separated by 4 periods

I can still slide to open the menu, but cannot take action on the feed. (The + button opens in the fore-foreground, so it works as well as 'back to exit' Connect.)
I was playing with the thumbnail preview in fairly rapid succession when one just "stuck".
Seemingly random. Error may only happen on the first post a new thread. Could be a server-side issue, but not sure.
Menu -> Refresh does not cause this issue.
OMG. This recipe is one of the best I have tried.

Nelson demands it.
Edit: A few coffees later and the DOW is up 2k. Coincidence? I think not.
Oh rock on. I misread the URL, so thanks!
