All of the IP addresses are the same on my forums.
They are all pointing to 198.91.81.5
upload_2014-11-12_20-36-15-png.8529

This is very bad as it cannot check stopforumspam for spambots and all users that are IP banned are now obsolete
What's going on?

What forum script are you using? Try just this on a file named IPcheck.php
Code:
<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>
Navigate to it in a web browser. If it shows your IP address, then it's the forum script or the stop forum spam plugin. If it shows 198.91.81.5 then that's bad. I'm on xo2 and its working just fine. http://ttb.x10host.com/logfile.txt

x10hosting's free-hosting server [ xo4 ] is known - out here on the Internet - to have this issue

This should now be resolved. Thank you for reporting this. :)

Thank you,

Just a note: if there's any chance that there's a proxy of some sort in front of your server (whether that's a local cache server, Cloudflare or what have you) you're almost always better off checking X_FORWARDED_FOR rather than REMOTE_ADDR.
