I created a serious account on there giving proper advice and it also says:URL Error (0): An error has occured while trying to browse through the proxy.
Failed to connect to the specified host. Possible problems are that the server was not found, the connection timed out, or the connection refused by the host. Try connecting again and check if the address is correct.
So it seems they have blanket banned all recent accounts. Twats.You have been permanently banned from this board.
Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.
