 * Update: I sent an e-mail report to CenturyLink detailing the abuse by this LTA on their networks on February 22, 2022. The last communication from them was from an abusive global unblock request sent from meta:User_talk:184.96.250.159 on March 1st, 2022. As the /17 range is currently unblocked, with no activity since its global unblock on March 2, I believe that CenturyLink has likely terminated their internet service. wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  07:55, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * They have made two impersonation accounts and used them for abuse on simplewiki as recently as March 18th, though, so that theory is likely up in the air. wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  07:57, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1 year after this. The T-Mobile range they used has been unblocked for a few days now and there is no harassment to be seen on any of the ranges used. I would consider this LTA gone. wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  05:17, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * FYI: the impersonation accounts I thought were them were actually another LTA wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  05:17, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
