Am i the only one who was suddenly banned from viewing the forums? I suspect hackers since i do not even have an account and my emails to rc could not get through either.

I do not know why, i just tried to look at the forums tonight and got this message. "You are banned from this forum. Please direct any inquiries to the forum administrator at [email protected]." If no one else is having this issue the only thing i can guess at would be that due to having a dynamic ip address i got unlucky and currently have the ip of someone who has been ip banned, i have seen it happen before a few times though it is quite rare. Though that does not really explain why i was unable to email you about this issue, rc.

That email adress does not exist. I've banned a few spambots, I guess their IPs gets banned as well, so that's why you get that message, I believe.

Do you have any proposals that might fix this situation, rc? I am of course willing to do my part, likely whatever it might be, in regaining my viewing access to the forums, as i do enjoy reading them.

Good question. I'll look into it. Meanwhile, try out a proxy?

Using a simple webpaged based proxy worked, so it is almost certainly due to the ip. Thanks for getting onto this so quickly, rc.
