That is ridiculous. So pretty much everyone on this forum is infected? Plus how is some system out there going to know your PC is infected?

Are you really that uninformed or you're just being silly? Who said everyone's PC is infected ? There are huge databases
of blacklisted websites and ips out there. That's what the system is checking against.
Many websites that you visit use some time of firewall it's just that you don't notice it.

fyi you can Google your own ip and if it's blacklisted anywhere you may be able to find out that way.
If your ip is blacklisted & you think your ip was blacklisted by mistake you can then contact the owner of the blacklist and ask them to whitelist your ip

Your IP changes all the time. Just got a new one right now by cycling off / on my modem. Still have the same issue. This is the only site where it happens and it all started after the crash of terb.

fixed it now

Which database is being used?

Every new IP I get is flagged by the same 5 databases out of the 80 or so out there. All others are fine. You can't have a IP cleared every time you get a new one.


Either the whole ISP is flagged by those databases for there is something wrong with the databases themselves. You can pretty much enter any IP form that ISP and the same databases comes up. Hard to beleive it is the ISP causing the spam as it is a very reputable ISP.

It is the ISP causing the issue or at least at the ISP level

Unless you pay for a Static IP from Verizon, you are going to wind up on the following blacklists:

PBL (Spamhaus)
DNSBL (Sorbs)
Zen (Spamhaus) (COMBINATION LIST OF OTHER BLACKLISTS!)

Why not just block these databases from being checked?

You seem to be logged in now ? Right now I am using Starbucks Wifi:
The host name is: 71-19-174-126.dedicated.allstream.net, got in in less than 5 seconds. No CAPTCHA. However I can't comment on each individual ISP.
Every browser/ ISP I have tried works just fine.

Moderator said:

10 seconds isn't a lot of time ? Even in this day and age ? However pages should load faster than before once you log in. I've to say everything is working fine from my end. I use iPhone, iPad and a chrome book - all devices are working perfectly. Not to mention the thousands of spammers and other bad players from Eastern Europe who are being blocked by the software daily.

It's 10+ seconds every page, every click, every post. Since the site I came back up. On every device I have.

I am not really sure what's causing that since for some of your ips your ISP is the same as mine, but I have no problem accessing the site.
The 5-10 second wait should just be at the beginning not between pages or posts.

It is quite possible you inherited some of your ips from a spammer
but I would have to research that some more.

For the dedicated ips you can just call your ISP and ask them to change the ip.

There is several users who posted in this thread and said they were having problems - when I checked most of those users were from the same ISP but you don't belong to that ISP.

As I posted there are a few databases that come back with a problem for every IP my provider supplies. Unless you are using a TOR browser or just posting via a proxy you are going to be out of luck. New IP or not.

Most people don't have the luxery of a static IP. You usually need to pay for that and there is rarely a need to have one unless you are hosting something.

I'd bet if they checked, everyone would come up with the same set of failed databases. It would not surprise me if it was these ones.

Even if you were lucky to have a static IP, there is a good chance it would fail too.

Black listed can be checked here:

http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check

Is there any way to check who is failing what database check? If anything, that is going to be your overall common denominator, not the IP.

You don't even have to get a new IP. Just change the last number or two and you should continue to get failures.

Something changed after the crash, This was never an issue before. It is not an issue on any other site (at least for me). The check is far to probably rigorous.


If you can't check a log then why not post a sticky asking people to report back on the failed databases?

It would not surprise me if this issue is far more than just a few people. There are those you just have not seen this thread or simply have not logged in since the crash.

I would like to know what good it goes to be checking multiple times per session. It is bad enough checking once. Chances are the timeouts for that check and login are different settings. At the very least they should be the same value.

The only issue I have found so far was when I wen to preview a post, the screen went blank the first time as I had the 5 second delay verification screen happen. I had to click the back button twice to get the advanced posting screen and try again. I would suggest a quick copy of the your post before previewing so you don't possibly lose everything you wrote. This only happened once however

I get the 5 second delay screen roughly every 5 mins of being logged on. Not every new page or new thread. I have not gotten a captcha request at all. I have tested on Apple and PC as well firefox, chrome, IE 11, and mobile devices.

I know others are having difficulty however I like knowing things are little more secure. More and more sites I think we start using this security feature or others like in the future and people will adjust. We need to protect ourselves more online. That is clear from all the hacking stories of 2014.

Same here.

But which ones failed?

Having just experienced it again, I think someone from the tech team needs to look into the delay screen affecting posting previews and submitting. It seems if one is posting and the delay screen comes up during that time, it returns a blank white page.

Cloud flare I believe is used to hide who is the actual host of the website.
Some sort of hosting cloak.

For instance ... If someone stole your pictures and posted them here and you contact the owner and he refuses to delete them (just an example we know this wouldn't happen here). You would then send a DMCA letter to the hosting company. But with cloud flare they are just a cloak. You will never find the actual hosting company. And the website is off the hook.

With the new law I can see the benefits of terb using cloud flare
But I would be most interested in knowing how to bypass cloud flare so we can find the actual hoster so that nasty bully sites can be shut down. If someone knows how, please reach out to me before I spend thousands of dollars to have something removed that legally should have been removed when the DMCA was sent.

No Cloudfare is not a Webhost. The Webhost for any website can easily be found.

You can contact that Domain Registrar - any reputable Registrar will always pass off the hosting information when DMCA's are sent. I have had to do this in mainstream when privacy blocks were put on domains to block whois searches.

The whois data on Terb.cc shows cloudfare.com as the server however. Some people may not know other ways of finding the actual host, so I can see where she is coming. However, you are right. There are many ways to find the hosting company.

I also would suspect that direct contact to cloudfare itself if there was a serious issue, would lead to assistance in finding the hosting company. They are not a company that wants to assist in cyber bullying or illegal internet activities. They are set up to stop things like that.

This is getting off topic. But i did send the DMCA to cloud flare and was given the run around. Someone told me that cloudflare was a cloak. Like a mask to hide who the actual hosting company is.
If the info I was given is not correct... Someone please help me lol

I did find that it was godaddy. But when I sent the DMCA to them. They told me cloud flare is the hosting company and never heard back from them again.

This is off topic, but very interesting because I have never had that issue when dealing with GoDaddy. I have been on the line with them and watched as they personally removed the information I had issue with. I didn't even have to send in a DMCA to them. I just called directly.

I will look into it more because now I am curious.

However back on topic - Any submission request that gets interrupted by the delay screen will not go through. I was just trying to change my general settings and after I click submit, I got the delay screen again and then the blank white page. I can see this causing an issue for people if every time they submit something they have to do it twice.

Thx Jessica ... I think I will call godaddy rather than email

Last day or two I'm now being automatically redirected by cloudflare without having to retype the captcha. Basically, works fine now BUT:

1. Site is still not https, and

2. Forum runner still broken

So thanks for fixing cloud flare but can we at least get https back? Considering the contents of the site it would be nice to know it was secure.
