I think, and I'm not sure on this, that you can block one IP, however it is not complicated to release your IP address and gain a new one generally speaking. Most people don't know how to do it, nor would they to dodge a forum ban, but it can be gotten around unless you block multiple IPs from the ISP in that area.
AOL uses dynamic IPs so those are essentially unblockable because they don't reference any one person. If you're ever on AOL log on to a wiki page and see all the notes that pop up because of you IP address. Apparently all the vandals use AOL.
