    Due to the recent actions of a certain member, I've had to take fairly drastic actions to ban him. If you find this has now restricted your access to the <a href="http://www.terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/">forum</a>, please feel free to complain to me.

    Except for you Matt.

    And here I thought it was because the servers were all wonky.

    You two have seriously had "You are banned" messages appear?

    Yes, it said: Critical news. You have been banned, contact the webmaster or adimistator. EDIT: Or something simialar to that.

    Sounds like the IP address. You came back later and it worked right? You went offline and online again (dial-up?) or you used a different computer?

    I don't use dial-up and I tried to log on on my other computer and it said the same thing. I really thought I was banned! Boy, that scared me. It didn't work until later on in the day.

    Yeah, there's a reason why you were getting the messages Matah. Seems you and Matt use the same ISP or something - at any rate, I banned pretty much everything in the 64.91.*.* range (among other addresses) which you use from time to time. I've now excluded the ones you do use, so you should be right.

    Shady, I have no idea why you're seeing the ban message. You IP's don't match any on the ban list.

    Yeah, I just got that message again. Well, thanks for clarifying that for me. I don't think we're using the same ISP though. I just hope we've seen the last of Matt_Thorn-in-the-side.

    I'm ashamed. Is Centurytel a nation-wide ISP? He supposedly lives in Washigton, so I guess it is.

    I did not get a banned message, I got several not on this server messages, both for Terra Arcanum & HoL. A lot more for TA.
