Forums - Website Topics - why am i getting 'forbidden' on this site?

Hey everyone, mainly ioi, Whenever i come onto any page on this site, i'm greeted with the message Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. So i'm not quite sure what is going on, it seems like an IP ban though (i'm currently accessing the site through a proxy) Anyone have a clue what has happened?

How were you able to post if you were getting forbidden messages on every page?  Used a different IP or just tried back later?

(Oopps, missed that the first time through...  poor reading comprehension this early in the morning...)

 



What do you mean early in the morning? its 3am!

Are you meaning to tell me that the time is different in different places of the world?

Hrm.. maybe i should sleep before I make any stupid pos---- damn



I got the same message the other day as well and couldn't access the site. I had been browsing for about an hour or so and it happened. Then yesterday I was busy adding games to the database and all of a sudden it wouldn't allow me and gave me that "permissions to access/" message. I couldn't get on all day after that, so I just tried today and thankfully was able to get on here.

I'm pretty PC-illiterate, so I wasn't running some enhancer or anything like that. I did have two tabs opened for vgchartz, one for searching the database and one for adding games. Could that have caused me to be banned?
