Ip Banned!

[poon29]

has anyone else had their IP Banned recently and not be able to access the forums? I emailed the admin twice about it asking why (i didn't post anything bad) and no reply but after a couple of weeks i'm back. Just curious why this happened and if it happened to anyone else?? thanks!

Royal York Hotel IP is also banned.

I couldn't access the site Friday night through Sat late afternoon, but then it started working again. I see that others posted during the time the site wouldn't grant me access, but I have no idea what happened to block me.

Same with me.

Same with me as well.

Terb's servers were being moved and took time for the ip to propagate.

If you suspect an IP lockout then I suggest you try a different location. We usually block IP's when we have constant problems with some posters.

So people who stay at the Royal York are...... bad clients?????

Sheik I am shocked!!!!!

Funnier still is that someone banned the whole server of "opera mini" from terb. I would guess someone thought they were being smart by banning an ip but didnt see it was a whole range for a whole browser.

I thought it was THW working her magic and spinning her web......

Please-That girl is too busy f*uking NON TERB MEMBERS for 5000 grand a pop

... Many dont realize that the tech guys downstairs pay attention to where the guys are going on the net.

One corporate guy I know has screeners on his email and anything associated with "adult entertainment" is bounced back to the sender.

That's why it's always best to be on good terms with the tech guys (either that or take your own laptop across the street to a coffee shop).

Thought did cross my mind - some kind of bot or email deluge - but I doubt that he/she/it is that tech savvy.

That thought crossed my mind as well. I went onto MERB to see if there was a thread about THW causing a virus that brought down TERB for the day, but there was no mention of it. Glad to hear it was just a moving of servers.

... or how about browsing terb from home? i wouldn't want to browse this place from work regardless of how well i know the system administrators at work.

 

[poon29]

This is my home computer internet and I have never had a problem with posting. Glad it wasn't just me and it was on Terb's side!

I too had a log in issue over the weekend, thanks too Brianna for her patience and help.

 

[canucklehead]

Ok that makes sense ... i was having the same issues.
I tried using a different DNS server but got the same thing ... no terb here.
I could do a lookup and dig but not able to connect via the ip or FQDN ..... so i just assumed you were down, until i did a dig yesterday.
Stupid BIND!

stop looking at pictures of young boys.

Same here ...(blocked on friday and sat)

hello to the "Sheikmeister"

Terb's servers were being moved and took time for the ip to propagate.

I asked that woman I was with last night to "propagate" her legs.

She looked at me kinda funny and said " there ain't no gate propped up down there"!!

 

[LancsLad]

Same problem here, plus my freaken clubhouse key no longer works.


Seems Fred and Sheik don't love me anymore.


I blame Great Bear.

Probably because your alternate DNS hadn`t yet received the update thus it`s IP or FQDN were also invalid. Good try though!

In my experience a DNS propagation takes up to 4 hours 95% of the time and is almost always completed in 24 hours. I`ve seen updates take 1-2 days, but only if the change was off-shore.





Okay Canuckle, I`m a CCIE and I`m trying to figure out how IP BIND applies to this problem! Just a play on words?

He`s talking about BIND, the DNS server commonly used on UNIX servers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIND

Propogation delays are influenced by how the domain was set up, reflected by the cache timers in the start of authority (SOA) record in the DNS. Those values determine the time to live for cached DNS lookups. You can have a long time to live, which reduces the query load on your DNS system, but will take a longer propagation time for changes.

For example, the default TTL for the https://terb.cc domain is 3 hours. For yahoo.com, it`s 10 minutes. (Yahoo likely wants to be able to switch to a new set of servers in a hurry if something bad happens, and are willing to take the hit on their DNS infrastructure for that.)

If the poster had examined the SOA record and queried off the authoritative DNS servers with nslookup or dig, he should have gotten the new IP before it was propagated out to replace all the cached values. Unless the server move also entailed a DNS server move, then you have to wait it out, as the SOA record itself would have likely been behind and needed propagation.

Enough geekage for now. I`m not a CCIE, so take this all with a grain of salt. Heh.
