Quote from: RPGPundit;303391Maybe they're trying to IP-ban you, Sunboy, as a precautionary measure because they're not at all worried about and/or obsessed with you.

Have you actually tried to register, Pundit?

Quote from: SunBoy;303502Dude, actually the first thing that crossed my mind was that maybe they have tried to ban you and had to ban the entire country... or some shit. So you actually can't, either? Man... I was actually interested.

Well, let's not be hasty now, remember, its "not about the RPGPundit!"
Perhaps its really Jong they wanted to IP-ban, since its not about me, maybe its Jong that they think about on a nearly constant basis and obsess over? Maybe he's the one they're so threatened by that they had to ban an entire country of 3 million people to (foolishly) try to stop?

I mean we KNOW it can't be me, right? Because they've said over and over (and over) again that its "Not about" me.

It'd be pretty hard to register on a site where you go to the front page and get this:

QuoteAccess forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403

And apparently everyone else in Uruguay gets that too...


But its not an anti-Pundit site, and they're neither worried nor afraid of me, right dude?

I'm going to ask on that website. Hold on.

I doubt that they've IP banned anyone for personal reasons although you may disagree. However, it's quite plausible that they accidentally banned (large swathes of the IP space of) certain South American countries, because that's where some of the attacks were coming from. (Brazil was named.)

Yup, according to the admins it's the DoS attack from Russia, Brazil and China. It's an unfortunate coincidence.

OK. Cool then. Just for the record, I was really asking. Hope it goes away soon, and good luck with the servers.

I see the ballet of copycat threads started again.

Yeah, why did Droog steal mine?

For fuck's sake.

I'm not saying it's a one way street.

So....I browsed that other forum without registering yet.

I'm kind of glad that some of those topics are being re-posted here.
Gives me a chance to read them or mull them over.

The color combination or layout over there actually hurts my eyes as I browse it. Thats not meant as a put-down, I hnestly had pysical strss in my eyes trying to focus while reading threads over there.

Maybe its the amount of white screen or white space or how the contrast is adjusted on my screen - I don't lnow. (I'm also having minor trouble viewing the SJG forums on some days)

This forum, TheRPGSite is still a comfortable view for me right now - no eye stress while viewing the seperate sections and the color comibination is just mellow enough not to to do that bio-organic version of 'lens-flare' that I get from websites. (MySpace? MANY of those people need to junk those annoying background colors)

Ed, I had the exact same experience as you. Something about the way therpghaven is designed hurts my eyes or hurts my brain. It's the main thing keeping me from contributing there. Conversely, therpgsite has a great layout, and I feel no mental strain at all here. I hope they fix it, because things look interesting there, but the colors and layout are too much of a strain for me to bother.

Me too.  Is the background here stark white, or beige?
