Ahh, I fear you may be lumped in with the Akamai IP problem. Our IP bans may have inadvertently targeted you. We're having issues seeing behind the Akamai IP, and those users unfortunate enough to be behind them are experiencing sporadic issues where the forum software thinks they are banned, when they aren't.
Please get in touch with me directly and we can resolve this if it is still occurring for you. My email is jpishgar@bestofmedia.com.
Note to Mods, Crashman is on the Editorial Team. If you feel you need to remove a staffer's post, please communicate with me about it in private channels and we can address the matter on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks peeps!
