I can't log in to Amigaworld!

[amigasociety]

Still can't log on. Hasn't anyone got a support email address for an Amigaworld moderator? Perhaps someone could PM it to me?

I messaged AmigaKit/Aeon a year or so ago as I believe they own aw.net now.  Said they would look into it but nothing ever seemed to happen.  Once in a while I can luck out and post there but most the time I can't, so I don't.

Its all the same here really so I just use amiga.org now for forum based posts.

I just see it as duplicate post there and being seen by the same people really.

Would be nice if they fixed/turned off that feature that blacklists but such is life.

So I am fine with it.

Now I can log on but I can't post anything or I get the blacklisted address error warning! I wonder if it is anything to do with this happening recently to my ISP (The Post Office):

whatever the reason be, i dont think you can do anything about it. seems a whole bunch of providers is blacklisted. you are not the only one affected.

I managed to post a thread and PM a moderator yesterday on another network  yesterday. Not holding out that much hope though!

Y'all do things funny over there in the UK. Why would someone blacklist an entire ISP, not just one particular IP address?

Out of idle curiosity, how many ISP's do you have, anyway? Where I'm at in the US you're lucky if you get two choices (either the cable company or the phone company). And many places don't even get that many choices, lol.

Why blacklist at all? That site is so restrictive. You can register there as a new user but that does not mean you will be allowed to login! No, you have to go kiss someone's ass first I believe.

Even Amibay, with all of its rules, as least makes it easy for you to become an active user.

I'm fine with Amiga.org and EAB.

i have noticed it when ocassionally using a mobile connection in gernamy or using certain mobile providers when i am underway in poland. hell, i have even had the same issue with an italian isp, and that from a day one, when i had a residency close to rome few years ago. therefore i suspect that a whole isp may be blacklisted.

that may not be understandable for an american, who never needs to travel abroad

It's not for lack of desire, but for lack of $$, I can tell you that!
