Cannot View Ns Forums

Racer1

It appears that my entire IP range has been banned from using the NS forums. The NS website itself works, but when I try to go to <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php</a> it gives me an error saying I do not have access to the forum. I went to a house down the street (on the same cable network) and it gave him the same error. However, from work (which uses a different set of IPs) and I can view the forums fine.

As far as I know, the first time I ever tried to access the NS forums from home, I could not access it. I realise that there are lamers out there who need to be banned, but does this really mean that those of us nearby experience the same punishment? Since my IP rarely changes, would it be possible to unban just that IP or something? I'd be willing to post or send my home IP to an admin if there is a chance I can get my IP unbanned.

A response of either "Sounds good. Whats the IP?" or "You lamer n00b go away" would be appreciated from a forum admin so that I know whether to pursue this matter fruther.

PM me with your home IP address (you can blank the last octet if you wish), and I will disallow a smaller block. The reason we ban by range is due to most people using DHCP. We naturally can't ban by specific IP for that reason.

ANd tell your ISP to stop letting jackasses use their network <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
