For some reason I can't get into the forums. I have been getting the Forbidden or 404 page for a month or so. I have to either connect through a proxy or go somewhere else with a different ISP.
Did they ban an IP range or somethin'?
Probably. I'll inform the admin for you.
Can you give us the blocked IP address, or PM it to MrG.
Well, it is of the 110.55.xx.xx and 121.96.xx.xx range.

Tunerz, I hope you are aware that you may have a security leak typing a password while on a proxy server.

I'm using the ISP's proxy thingy, better than using some dodgy one.
You are not alone, Tunerz, I experience that very same problem everyday for maybe 2 or 3 months now so getting here is random for me
It happens every few hours.
Perhaps it is affecting some Philippine IP ranges in general?
Well pwillener was having a comparable issue with this, not the very same issue we have but he is in Tokyo, Japan. He did seem to find a solution to that with the help of MrG on this thread:

I use my home computer to get into this forum but I did try to visit this forum when I was in a computer shop which is of course in a different IP address than mine last Friday to see if I would be blocked and I did get the same "forbidden" error thing so maybe its a problem with the Philippine IP addresses and this forum's server. But the two of us did not start experiencing this at the same time. Or did it occur to you earlier than you stated???
Here is my screenshot:
I guess I was having this problem since September, considering the decrease of my activity starting from that month.
*I hope the problem I PMed will be resolved within a week or so.
