For some odd reason this website is a big target for international hackers trying to get onto our server (probably to plant a bot) or break into our database (to extract email addresses). This has been going on for quite a while and the hacks come from all over. China, Russia, Europe and the US. In order to stop us from being hacked one of the many things I've written is code to track someone repeatedly hit on our webpages. This is a common mechanism bots use to break in.
How does this affect you?
If you click fast between pages you may find yourself locked out from accessing the main website. This has no affect on your ability to access the forum however.
What can you do?
Send me (Frank, i.e. "administrator") a PM and be sure to include your IP address in the note. I'll unlock your IP and then you should be all set. As a safeguard you may want to save a link to the forum in your web browser so can send me a PM just in case.
Thanks!
Frank
