I've never been kicked for over 24hours like what just happened to me now. This is just plain crazy. You can't even use the sites features witout getting kicked off. Every time I add games to my profile, I get kicked off. That it lame!

I didn't even know this happened and I usually open 5-10 windows at a time one right after the other. >_>

Sorry if I'm a little late on this (I just found this thread) but that's exactly what I do sometimes. Right now I'm on the wii and it's still slow (it usually isn't), I the site is still under attack.

OK, so what's the deal with these IP bannings lately? I open up 5-6 threads and BAM, my IP is banned for a full day.

I know this is done to keep website traffic low, but c'mon, you don't keep your visitors happy this way. I like to compare games and such to predict sales, so I usually open about 6-8 games, and then check out charts. I can't do this anymore because if I open just one game too many, I get banned for a day.

I don't know any other websites with this problem, and some of them have lots of more traffic then this one. It's just not very inviting for me anymore to visit this place when activity gets punished.

I get that a lot- and it is annoying but at least I know why it is happening now.
