sure, this is probarbly a question for the admins of the site, but i had my friends contact them via e-mail but i have gotten no response...
so i just wonder... why am i ip-banned (but not "normal" banned) from this site?
ps. ill have to check back using my parents computer wich is on a 56k modem... so i wont check in often, but if anyone knows the answer (or admin needs my ip-number) just e-mail me on josefporta_2@hotmail.com ('course, admin knows my other e-mail so they can use that instead)

Seriously though Haken would have to answer the question of why your ip is banned. Seems to me that he is the only one with the authority to do or undo it.

You are amazing. If I have never been banned from this site(I have been warned, but ever since the death of Haken....nothing), what in the world did you do? Find a way to throw shit at people through the comp.? E-mail me and show me how to do it...I have a list of peeps I want to get dirty......

You are forthwith banned.
Do not attempt to register again.
Thank you.

I don't know. Sometimes that can just happen, I think. It might be a weird glitch, or your IPS has a problem with FFF.NET.
Or, yeah, Haken might not like you - though, as I've never seen anyone banned (just sent over to Troll Country) I doubt that.

Best guess is that your ISP has an inordinate amount of spambotters. Blocking the whole ISP in those cases is frequently easier than trying to close out continual attempts to spam the boards.

Last time (the only time?) a cracker came here I sent an email to Haken recommending a sub-net ban, if only until the flaw in this site was fixed. He rejected it b/c it might unintentionally ban a legitimate user. So, this type of ban isn't necessarily the case.
IMO, what's most likely to have happened is that an IP got banned. Then, since residential accounts have dynamic IP's, OddBalle8 acquired this IP after the fact.
If this site is programmed properly, there'll be a cron job (or the windows equivalent), that will nuke the ban after a reasonable period of time. Still, OddBalle8 should contact the site admin (Haken is the only listed one) to remove the IP from the ban list.

Wouldn't that then likely alleviate itself the next time he logged on? Because of the new dynamic IP.
