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!

Hello from UK but with Polish soul.

Post by Wes_T »

Hi everyone

Im Wes retro computers fan. :-)
Try to collect and keep live some of them.
My first one? Late 80's in Poland ive got one zx81 from border smugling. In that years iron curtin was closed for electronic devices from west so if you like one you have to find someone who smuggle computer by the border. It was ussualy more than one, beacouse they smuggle computer in parts. Separate cov3r, board, keyboard, psu and others. That was crazy time... you could go to jail for that. next one Atari 800XL about 86- 87 from official Atari distribution in Poland. Jack Tramiel was born in Poland so for him was easy find official distribution in Poland by the Polish goverment. Jack got storage full of old 800xl and 65XE and he looking for market on the east. USA pull up economic restriction and finally we could buy computers And thats it. Rest of this is history. Next Atari, Amiga .... PC and now back to retro
And here I'm
Best regards
Wes_T
