I post both from home and work, and last night, all of a sudden, my home IP was banned. My work IP and account are clearly not. What’s up? ---

There was a temporary glitch in the system when it processed the list of banned IPs. It should be fixed now, but if you have any more problems with that when you get home, shoot me an e-mail at **sdmb** at **[skipmagic.net](http://skipmagic.net)**. ---

Thanks, SkipMagic, for the answer. I was banned, too, for a little while last night. It was chilling! 🙂 ---

Oh, no, **Savannah** , yours was on purpose. We secretly installed a camera near your computer to show us your reaction when you found out you couldn’t reach the board. It was educational. Also, your hair looked great. Nice color. ---

I was also on the list of banned IPs. It was the worst five minutes of my life. ---

Me too. I figured somebody must have caught me flirting in the Pit. ---

Coincidentally, I got the banned IP message right after I bitched in the Pit about the board being down last weekend. Nothing you guys say will convince me it wasn’t on purpose. 😛 ---
