Have any of you noticed regular members who have not been around or who have told you that they have not been able to log in over the last 18 hours or so? If so, I bet they have comcast digital cable.
It seems that the good people at comcast have decided to block the servers that provide for this site. Thats right, comcast is deciding what sites their users can and cant view. The reason for this is due to the high number of emails that get sent out (PM notifications, subscription emails, etc) and they consider it a spam site.
The only thing that can be done right now is for comcast users to call the comcast office and demand that the company stops censoring sites...if you dont have comcast, but have a relative that does, have them call and demand that they are allowed their internet freedom. Otherwise, this becomes one company setting precedent, and once one company gets away with it...the sky is the limit before we cant access the sites that we all love.
Any questions, feel free to PM me. I have found a way around this ban (i was unable to get onto ANY of the forums since late last night) by using an AOL browser, but this is ridiculous.

I have Comcast and have no problem accessing the forum also. I'm in outlying Chicago. We have to find the TOS aggreement for Comcast and see if it specifically states they have the right to block any or all sites if they deem necessary. If that is not in the TOS, then it is most likely a violation of the service contract in which case they would either have to open the domains back up or face legal action, none of which realistically would probably happen. When you use AOL, it usually funnels the internet traffic through the VPN it creates through it's servers using their browser. That's complete BS. If I have time I'll try to find out more, but I have a feeling they have the right to do whatever they want and unless someone files a class-action lawsuit, there won't be anything going on.
