You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

@Icky it still amazes me that even for the rare computers out there that you can still buy some of the parts.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I know. Someone somewhere has a part that’s needed. Only thing is the parts are getting expensive.

Life is still distracting me from Atari.

This weekend was spent building a 19" 1U twin side-by-side monitor stand rack (that was a mouthful).

Lets start with some 300mm wide pine boards:

A bit of presentation, staining and oiling:
