• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I keep getting this message:

We have detected a possible DDoS attack from your IP and your access has been blocked
 
Are you still using Windows XP?

If so then this may be the same problem that Ickie has seen here.

For some reason XP will create more than one connection to a server when you try and open a page. This increases server load and slows down the forum.

It is some kind of bug in XP that everyone has just had to live with.

We have connection limits here to but its way more than 10 connections.
