      HideMyAss to that site gives:

      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.
      I created a serious account on there giving proper advice and it also says:

      You have been permanently banned from this board.
      Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.
      A ban has been issued on your username.
      So it seems they have blanket banned all recent accounts. Twats.

        so much for being "The UK's Friendliest Community"...

        On phpBB you can't get a list of members unless you log in, so there is no way to tell whether anyone survived or not.

          As a guess, I'd say that Hairy was the first to get banned. They deleted the make my own kiln thread at least twice that I saw.

            How would you feel if your wife's forum was subjected to this "holiday"?

              When they calm down, they ought to be well chuffed at the increased publicity.

                Dunno why they would want to ban me based on one post.
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                      You now need to be approved before you can post - so we've done something to improve their forum security.
