Sorry everyone!

I don't know what is happening but something is banning people. I'm researching now and will respond to your emails individually once I determine why this might be. Sorry all but hopefully will be a simple fix!

I was wondering why I was getting banned. I've been just as much of a dickhead as usual.

Hmm, I did it apparently.

I banned that spammer and used the IP function and next thing I know is I banned myself. Gretch just told me that I ended up banning everyone.

LOL. Sorry about that.

Ok everyone, we are all clear now.

It seems a spammer masked their identity using our own IP address. When he was banned it ended up banning the entire site so well done spammer, but all fixed and we will modify the process going forward.

Apologies for the interruption - glad to see we have a loyal following here based on how my inbox blew up! :beerchug:

Went out for lunch and saw a guy driving by himself wearing a mask. I had to laugh at him and I think he noticed it.

But he probably thinks I'm just a prick in a Porsche and doesn't know why I laughed.

Funny thing is as an admin I can't even tell anything is wrong unless I look at the number of users logged in. But then I check emails and it's like, "Uh oh..." :roflmao:
