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 - missed the 16bit era

Post by mv2112 »

Hi all, Matt from the UK. Been a longtime lurker and big fan of the work being done here as well as the calm retrocomputing vibe here.

Dragon32->C64c->C64->PC->UnixBoxen/Macs, I missed out on the 16bit era due to the price growing up. Amiga was great for games and all, but the ST caught my eye as the more serious choice and the Falcon i remember saving for - alas it disappeared faster than my money did.

Love to see the work here, Raven, H5 and so on.

You missed out on a bit of iconic computing history by missing the 16 bit era but I'm sure you'll make up for it now :lol:
