Hi François,
Regarding IP tracking, there are several reasons why we do not want to do that - primarily, many internet users use shared IP's. For example, here at our office everyone connects out through a firewall, and thus we have the same IP on all outgoing connections (office.gossamer-threads.com), although each person is using seperate computers.
What I will try to do for GForum 2.x is be a little more careful with it - I think setting a guest cookie may help, however I may also have to look at a fix for, e.g., the search engine templates, since they don't pass around a guest ID.
