Was able to feed at least 4 times today

I was able to feed all of my creatures at least four times today, all from the same IP address, same computer. Just about every hour can I feed them again. This is weird.

@newlife
Is yours perhaps a dynamic one? I think that might explain it since it'll change every once in a while and all...
I'm not entirely sure how it works :I

@icymuffin
I don't think it's dynamic. This is the first time this has happened to me, and by feeding on this computer. I've fed on here for about 7-8 months, this is the first time this has happened to me.
Edited: Fed again

@newlife

This sounds like something going on with your network rather than the site itself. What operating does your computer run on? (Windows 7, Macintosh, Vista, etc.)

That way I'd be happy to tell you how find if your IP is dynamic. Your ISP could have easily changed it in the meantime.

Thats what we call "warping IPs".
Its a dynamic connection which provides you a different IP address each time, or it started to work as a dynamic connection [wasnt so before] or due to technical reasons, your ISP might be changing their standard IP to another IP (many IPs go through in that process)

frosted is correct. IPs are frequently changed for a number of different reasons, from security to cost (I think? Read somewhere it was cheaper for some reasons). Your ISP might just be undergoing some changes.

Restarting/hibernating/etc your computer and then feeding again can cause this, too.

It's absolutely fine to feed more than once in a day (pretty lucky, too) and it's not against the rules as far as I know, so there's no need to worry about it. 😉
