While we're discussing blocked IP addresses, let me just say...

We block lots of IP subnets regularly (4 today). While we try to be extra careful not to block existing and potential real (not spam) members, sometimes it happens. If you find yourself in this situation and can't think of anything especially egregious that you did to deserve it (like attempted murder on one of the staff) and if you're not traveling (many IP's across the US get blocked), then chances are it wasn't an intentional block. The staff is usually pretty good about giving people warnings before they get too deep into trouble where they get banned without warning.

In these cases, please use the Contact Us email link (as 87 of you did tonight and I'm trying to respond to all of you) and let us know what's up so we can either try to fix it. Please be kind.

We have a member in Australia who gets his IP banned from time to time and we always get him hooked back up once he lets us know his situation. He's been awesome about being understanding.

But, if the email link isn't working for you and you have access to Facebook, try contacting us on the Colorado AR-15 page. This is always a good avenue when the site goes totally dead.

Alright, back to responding to emails.
