    Just because he's paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get him...

    @WCDawg are you seriously questioning if someone attempted to block or ban you? If they wanted to ban you, there would be no failed attempt.

    How do you know this ? I'm not a software expert but I do know programs run the spectrum of capabilities. Also the 403 error code comes up in some programs when administrators ban an IP address. Also several posters have stated they have complained and/or have tried to get me banned...I piss some dorks off.

    Error 403: "The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated."

    Maybe HAL 9000 has grown tired of you.

    For a "banned" poster, @WCDawg, you sure seem to post a lot! :D

    They will have to do a better job of banning me to slow my march to 15K posts.

    Most existential post I have ever seen. How are you able to write about being banned on the site you are claiming banned you?

    Let me ask the obvious question. If you are banned, and only getting an error code when logging in--how are you still posting on this forum?

    It may only pop up when the forum cosmically senses you are in a bad mood--looking to sling insults around.

    Actually I usually have to reboot before I can access the site after leaving it. It's still entirely possible there was an attempt to block me. Till I'm either locked out completely or management requests my absence, I'll keep posting. I have no doubt there have been requests by some posters that I get banned.

    It’s time for you to install some anti-virus software. There’s free software that does it. I used the Tom’s Hardware site to evaluate stuff like that. I’d tell you what I use, but I’d have to go downstairs and check my Windows box I rarely use any more.

    I use Avast and Adblocker plus. I'm reasonably sure it's not a virus.

    Adblocker could be causing the issue. Turn it off before you come here for a few days and see if you still get the error
