The IP address you registered with, and the IP address you use to access the website are logged in the database. Use a different IP address if you want to be completely unknown upon registration.

Also browser fingerprinting.

That's jargon for cookies stored in the browser.

Not just cookies, browser program and version, installed extensions and other stuff I can not recollect. But overall it did a good job of fingerprinting. There was a website that tested if your setup would be easily fingerprinted but can't remember the url, perhaps someone in here can help.

browser program and version

From the PHP function get_browser() and $_SERVER variable.

installed extensions and other stuff

What function in any backend programming language retrieves installed extensions? A user could install a thousand extensions. In order for that information to retrieved by the server, it has to be sent by the client. The client would potentially have to send millions of bytes of information on installed extensions--good luck on mobile sneaking that past the client, even if you could.

"Browser fingerprinting" is limited to cookies and some vague information about the capabilities of their browser.

The website doesn't work for me. I quit after 10 seconds of loading.

Oh I know how they are figuring it out but it used to be they didn’t shut me down until I made a comment they didn’t like but now they got me before I even said anything and that never happened before.

could they issue hardware ban?

No. They could store some cookies, store what browser you are using, but that's about it. If I missed anything, let me know.
