revised Is there any way to really ban people from a website?

comment Is an animated favicon.ico a bad idea? Are there cool uses of animated favicon.ico out there?

comment Legal standing for a copyright notice placed by prior web developer? (long backstory)
@JamesRyan The principles of copyright are often similar across countries, given the number of copyright conventions multiple countries are a party to. The answer was this was in the USA. Luckily this resolved peacefully: the former web developer has made no appearance, and the client is happy, and I was happy to help the client.
