Boddington's can't get on to Apolyton
He said he has been trying to connect for the past few days but doesn't get a response...he thinks he is IP banned but that seems unlikely...do any of you admins have an idea about what is going on?

Well... his status shows as "registered", he isn't banned, and no new IP bans have been put in place.

Have him email his current IP address to me at ming@apolyton.net and I will check it out. If he has a static IP address, I can at least look... but it doesn't seem likely.

Maybe Markos or Dan decided to reinstate his permaban?

Why should we care?

He was probably on the Random Ban list.

Except, maybe if it starts with him...other people will dissappear without documentation...maybe ME...

I hope this problem is resolved as quickly as possible.

No... Bodds didn't get a random ban or anything. His status is clear at the moment, and it makes no sense that he can't access the site... Or maybe this is just another stewie game

There is no reason on this end why he can't post. His IP isn't banned... He isn't banned... it must be a problem on his end.

Tell him that he must truly believe with all of his mind that he is not banned. Such is the path to Apolyton.

Diss--in updating my private Locked OT Threads directory a while ago, I've came across threads where he said things like "We should let AIDS run its course in Africa" and "Africans have smaller brains but are better runners." Of course, both of them have semi-plausable excuses (well, to him at least...the first one is an atrocity and the second only an outrage).

Need more examples? Do a search for username "Boddington's" in these forums: "Off Topic Forum" and "Off Topic Archive".
