Banned (on Another Machine)

I got a message saying I was banned on the computer I was using earlier today.

I see one of two possibilities:

1) It was in error
2) You just haven't gotten around to banning all of the IP addresses that I use.

If it's #1, is there a way to fix this? I can PM the IP tomorrow evening, though if there's a way to find out just from anything I posted before 5 today and fix it so I can post tomorrow.....well, let's just say it would make tomorrow go much more smoothly. Or I can get the IP tomorrow, and email it to any friendly-neighborhood admin that can PM me his email address now. I already shot an email to what I think is Edgy's email address, it's what I think is the one you get in your email anytime someone PMs you.

If it's #2 then I'm going to fight tooth and nail to keep posting using every trick I know....and I'll see you in hell, Costanza.

Could be my fault, there are no banned ip's right now. I take a backup of
the database that runs this place twice a day and I forgot to this morning
and I did one late afternoon. I routinely ban an ip or two (in this case it was
one that was signed on about 50 times) and then unban it when I'm done.
It seems to make the download go smoother sometimes ... it's 125MB's.

I just checked the ip I turned off and it's not a google spider or anything like
that but rather a mid-west service provider. Sorry if that was you and your
provider.

It's working again. Thanks, KC.

KC does pretty damn fine work for being such an assclown.
