Why I cannot get on to a different Message Board, Errors

nyg052003 · 11-03-2009, 09:59 AM

It is not this forum , rather it is the Giants.com message boards and when I try to log on from internet explorer it says an HTTP 403 error. I can get to the website itself but it won't allow me to go to the message boards. Anyone know why?

I was always allowed to visit it before.

I cannot get to the message boards from Internet explorer or my Firefox browser

You might want to check your computer configuration and do a thorough scan for malware. Sounds like you have gotten some.

download this - http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and see if that cleans up the nuisance. Malwarebytes is considered by many to be the best freebie (but do make a donation if you can) for cleaning up those little nasties that are not quite a virus,,but certainly do clog up a computer. Please report back with results.

thanks guys but I found out what happened. they banned me then blocked my IP address. They talk about I ban-dodged................

what constitutes you from opening up another account with another email, its a free country. They are a bunch of hipocrats on that board.

That s.o.b. hiding from you too? He run off with me best jug a couple of days ago. He's done it before so figured a good fix would be to piss in a jug,,,now can't figure out if he got me good stuff or the bad stuff. Guess a spark would let me know if it's good or bad. Stand back!!!

If you do not follow the rules on a forum they have every right to ban you. I have had to ban some people here as well. I do not like to do it, but we have actually had people get a temp ban and they set up a new account which AUTOMATICALLY turns it in to a permanent ban here.

Forums are not free (also not part of the "free country" mantra) and major money is spent on bandwidth alone never mind server costs, administration, etc etc. Please just follow the rules on ALL forums and you will be fine.

BTW, I am changing the title slightly so it doesn't look like it is this site that is the problem.

thanx for the insight. Yeah I have tried and tried to read the forum rules on that site and it kept telling me there were nothing to display. I didnt see a way to even reach a moderator for questioning. They seem to be prejudiced there, there are all kinds of guys with millions of posts who cuss and avoid the profanity filter by typing the letter then symbols and stuff.

Well our rules are easy to find (to left corner on the blue bar) and here is a link to them:

http://www.highdefforum.com/rules.html

All members are required to KNOW the rules and like most things ignorance is not an excuse.

I am sure you will be fine here though right?

the thing with that kind of sports forum you have everyone who swears they are right about them, they hate to be criticized and to appear to be wrong. It's so much bias and bull. I'm sure there's a fair share of that on any forum tho.
