    Clear your cache and try deleting cookies. If that doesn't work, send a PM to me, Moddy or one of the other mods and we can try to see what's going on. This happens from time to time and usually it's cleared up with a cache clearing.

    I tried that. Now I get this:


    An Error Has Occurred!
    Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
    spam
    This ban is not set to expire.

    I couldn't until today when I realized it works on Chrome.

    Is it unreasonable to expect the damn 'Webmaster' listed as the site's contact would bother to reply to one of a half dozen e-mails?

    Cleared cache and cookies. Now I'm an unwelcome guest.
    I will PM later. Thanks.

    Did you create a sock puppet that who was banned?

    That'll get you.

    Not that i would have any experience with that.

    Wouldn't he be blocked on Chrome?

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago at work. In the middle of the day. It cleared up a few days later. I had no clue what happened.

    It wouldn't give "spam" as the reason.

    Clearly you are NOT banned, you are here.

    I have not banned you, or even thought of banning you. Until now!! (kidding).

    As MileHigh noted, we've had some issues. I did ban a spammer this week. How that got to you I have no clue. About a month ago, I had to suspend someone for calling someone a "fuckwad" a few times too many. Explained that in the message. Another member, one of our most respected and rational, got the message and couldn't log in. Cleared the cache and all was good to go.

    Then it happened again with another member. Innocent party, someone who has never come close to crossing the line, gets a message meant for someone else. And the IPs weren't even close.

    So, yeah, there is a glitch. The guy the new owners assigned to be our contact is no longer with the company. Who is in charge now from their end? No clue. Haven't been given that answer.

    Try the cache. I'll go un-ban that spammer and hope he doesn't return.

    If this happens to any of you in the future, please go PM. I do think it is funny that someone who is allegedly banned is POSTING about being banned.

    Dude, you ain't banned!

    If someone can't log on via any browser, though, how do you suggest one PM?

    So, how many times can we call you a fuckwad before we get banned? Not that I'm planning to, or anything ... :)

    I like the message you get on another site. It calls you a douche when you get banned!
