PLEASE! Can you sort out the Pipex problem?

[Dave Woodley]

Hi,

I love visiting this forum and I can't because every time I try to access it, it tells me I am banned!

From reading different posts a while ago, I understand it was a problem with a particular poster who used Pipex as their ISP. So the admin banned the IP range used by the ISP but it means that I can't access the forum now.

I am currently connecting to you using a dial-up connection (with a PAYG ISP) but I don't want to have to do that every time I want to read the forum.

Surely this troublemaker is long gone now and you could maybe remove the IP block?

I understand how you feel as I've had similar problems with my previous ISP (Freeserve) and current ISP (Tiscali) sharing IDENTICAL IP addresses with many of its users. I once got accussed of hacking a message board because I had the same IP address as the hacker, even though I can't even hack my way out of a cardboard box! It later transpired that at least several users had an identical IP address.

Who was the troublemaker in question?

I'm still getting the Pipex problem too - at work (Pipex ISP) I am banned but at home (Tiscali ISP) everything's fine. Oddly, a few weeks went by recently when the problem disappeared, but it was certainly in evidence again when I last tried about ten days ago.

it was a young madam called "Caroline" aka "Maria"

i believe that she is long gone too, from a number of boards now..
