Anyone know what's up with the apparent subnet bans on DV? I've tried to post from at least a dozen different Shaw and Telus IPs, as well as IPs originating in Texas, Georgia, and other places. Did they finally give up and just disallow ALL IPs, then selectively re-allow approved subnets? lol.

So that's what happened ?

Earlier this year I tried to get some information out of DS's admin (as she is also a mod on DV) about why I hadn't been able to post on DV anymore, but she wasn't able to give me a satisfactory answer.

This should explain why I could poster neither without a proxy, nor with one. They simply blocked a lot of subnets.

The admin of DS is a "she"? And she's a mod on DV as well?

Are you sure about that?

I am not sure at all, to be sure. I just know her or she uses "Lise" as a nick, so I assume she is a she ; and I remember clearly she wrote in a reply to my query that she is, or had been, as mod at DV...

I don't know about the DV part, but I'm pretty sure the admin here is a guy. I don't think Lise is the admin here, either.

Lise has no more affiliation with DV anymore.

  I'm sure that the Admins just deleted a bunch of ip's without checking.  It happened quite often back in those days.  Many innocent posters just couldn't post.  Oh well, I really don't give a f*ck anymore.

Who'd want it anyway, eh ?

[purelife]

LOL.  Academe?  Is that you?  

[Mutilated Mind]

Who is  - me ?

Nope.

[goatsee]

Hmm. I realized that although I was posting from different IP ranges, I was always posting with Firefox. I tried with Internet Explorer and it worked fine. I feel like a dumbass. If you are 'banned' from DV, you should try another browser, it couldn't hurt.

[purelife]

Hmm, ok.  Just wondering M&M.  Sorry about that.  

[kingy]

i think one of the troll mods at dv should ban *.telus.net and *.shaw.ca and see what happens.

[Lise]

Bahaha. That's really funny to think of me as admin on both DV and DS. Somewhat flattered.

  For the record:

  I have NOTHING to do with DV. Mike is the one in charge.

  TehBorken is leader here. I am, alas, a follower of the cult that is DiscoverSeattle.
