I was locked out of ICMAG!

Thank you all for being patient as we sorted this out!

happened to me last week n lasted for about a week ... same deal could get onto the site from mobile just not from home comp.. both with optus tho.. mmm think more site related problem than net provider tho

Could it be related to this attached story? they were attempting to block at least 3 million sites at last count and that was under the quise off blocking kiddie porn sites,do you really think that 1400 child porn sites exist without anyone closing them down? Interpol can only watch and make a list off these sites and nobody can do any thing about it ? are our governments that piss weak? should they ask Anonymous to do something ? Im sure Anonymous could shut down these rouge sites in five minutes! or maybe its code for "sites we don't like and approve off" Learn about proxy's VPN and TOR .Every week in the popular news there is some clown calling for internet censorship ,trash talk on social media then whine like a bitch when it bite you on the ass and get the news to do a story about how upset you it made you..shit whats this world come too?

Australian Government Gives Up on Filtering the Internet
POSTED BY: ROBERT N. CHARETTE / MON, NOVEMBER 12, 2012

Late last week, Australian Labor Government Communication Minister Stephen Conroy announced that his nearly five-year quest to centrally filter Internet content before it could be accessed by the Australian populace was officially over, the Herald Sun reported. The censorship plan never had much chance of success. A few years ago, the head of Telstra, the largest ISP in Australia, insightfully stated, “My view on that is that's like trying to boil the ocean... to think that you're going to be able to centrally filter everything, I think that's a pipe dream.”
Declaring a victory of sorts, Conroy said that while the government would no longer pursue a centrally-directed means for filtering the Internet, the country’s telecom companies have agreed to block some 1400 child pornography websites that are on Interpol’s blacklist.
Minister Conroy, in a statement, said that, “Blocking the INTERPOL ‘worst of’ list meets community expectations and fulfils the government’s commitment to preventing Australian internet users from accessing child abuse material online. Given this successful outcome, the Government has no need to proceed with mandatory filtering legislation.”
The government’s plan to selectively censor the Internet was opposed by the Coalition and Green political parties. Both groups welcomed Conroy's news. The Coalition couldn’t resist, however, pointing out that the government’s decision was, in effect, “walking away from yet another promise it took to the 2010 election,” when it said Australian ISPs couldn’t be trusted.
The Australian Christian Lobby, which strongly supported the filter, said it was “greatly disappointed” that the government was breaking its campaign promise.

Good to see you are back on here with us Chainbreaker
Skip has been locking out certain IP Address Ranges to block known SPAMMERS, just happens that a few of those IP Addresses have been members IP's, I had the same thing happen to me a couple of times and each time I sent Skip a email from the Contact Us link (down the bottom of the) of the Access Denied page, explaining what was going on and making sure I put my IP Address in the email so Skip could unblock my IP. Putting your IP is very important as Skip can't do anything without it.
