Title: DV experiencing a brain fart again...
Post by: Moolah! on Jun 05 06 06:02
First I noticed a slow down and now the board is not accepting any new messages. [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_shy.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"](//vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_smile_shy.gif)[/A]

  I tried replying to a post, no go.

I created a new topic, no go.



Now I should log off and sign back on to change my IP, but that seems unneccessary - they didn't know my IP to begin with as I didn't post under my current one.



So don't think that you're banned.



(That goes for you too Some Chick... I saw your thread, but didn't go through it yet.)

Agreed. I've been experiencing a few strange anomalies as well.
I wonder if the monkeys have been drinking again.

Would anyone really be that upset if the whole thing just imploded?

Actually, they would probably all come here.  Second thought SAVE DV!!!!!

 Ha ha!

 Then they get annoyed when I call them f*cktards. [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_big.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"](//vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_smile_big.gif)[/A]

 I tried to post under a different nickname to see if they've banned the nickname. Still no go. So the nickname should still be usable.

 Will try under different IP now... [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_shy.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"](//vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_smile_shy.gif)[/A]

Yup.
Curses was kind enough to post how to use a proxy with Firefox.
So now I'm playing with that, just in case I ever need to use it.
Not that I ever would...

UPDATE: I can post under a different IP, no problem.

Sounds like you've been banned.
It's funny, X stated today that curses wasn't really banned, but I've noticed the number of "not really banned" people seems to be increasing.

My take on it is that the active mod on DV is a bit of a control freak and has been, in addition to deleting TONS of threads, banning ranges of IP addresses in an attempt to impose order on DV.

Good luck with that, f*ckin' nazi     (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/5.gif)

There was quite a bit of trollish activity earlier tonight, now the site is sort of inaccessable... why "sort of"? Because whenever you try to access the site, the browser starts sending data back and forth indefinitely, the screen remains blank in the meanwhile, but no error messages... It sort of hangs there.



Why does this happen? [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_shy.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"](//vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_smile_shy.gif)[/A]

I've seen those type of posts before.  Someone instilled a code that prevents anybody from replying.  
 
 LOL!  YES!  More DV Drama.  (//forums/richedit/smileys/7.gif)

i think it was eed that was stopping certain threads.

  i generally tend to avoid dv on sat nites considering that is when there seems to be an abundance of trolls.

Gotta agree with you on that kingy.  One time, I logged in as moderator and this troll decided to have a war.  He/she/it/whatever started to post really gruesome, disgusting pictures on almost every thread and I of course, went and deleted them.  Then, he got really upset and started to swear and curse at the mods.  Long story short, I never logged in ever again on a Saturday night.  IT WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

I suspect they installed a new code in there somewhere which might prevent users from say, an internet cafe, from logging on. *shrug*
