an IP is your number .. they are used to see who posted on your site .. and if you know someones ip number and they are writing mean stuff just put in there ip number to block them .. it`s not really that important ..

in an analogy, it would be your address on the internet. One use is to tell if someone is using another name to spam

If you have a counter too, you can match the ip codes and see where they live, and that`s an easier way to find out who it is

I also heard that you could use IP's to hack, but I don't know if that's right.

ip is like your identity on the internet. you go to a website, it gets connected through the web server's IP, return feeds come back through your IP. it's sort of like a gateway. So naturally, it does have to do with hacking
