    So, in my mild, lazy efforts to remedy the fact I keep having to ban users, I've taken to banning IP ranges. If you find yourself inability to log in, you're probably in one of those banned ranges. I would suggest moving to a different country, if that's the case.

    Drog may be able to access the site through a proxy.

    Is this in reference to the fact that the person who once had half a continent banned to remove him is now removing countries from access?


    Actually, Drog hasn't ever logged in from any of the IP ranges that I banned, as best as I noticed. Plus I told him this was coming a few days ago. And I didn't completely ban China. I just banned the two ranges that we've had spam bots from.

    I agree DE, that is some delicious irony.

    The funny thing about Darkfool doing this is that there are maybe, say, 2-3 active people still around that were here for that shit. I think I started lurking a half year or so after it all went down.

    This is one of the only forums I go to that makes me feel old and I'm not even remotely close to being one of the "old guard."

    PS If I ever become banned I'll be sure to post and let you know to remove the offending IPs!!!

    This is why I need to stop posting when I haven't slept for 24 hours.

    So quit pointing out my pronoun inconsistencies Vorak. Or Silvara. Or whoever you are.

    And here I thought that you saw something intensely ironic in Drog using a proxy.

    I'll remove such a ban as soon as I successfully FB stalk you. :D

    That explains why I couldn't find you.

    You know, I'm almost tempted to just leave the ban in place, and force people to register if they want access...
