Not sure what's up but I cannot access this site when using my regular Internet connection. I get a connection timed out error. I can access the site no problem via another IP. My account is still active as well. Who can I refer this question to?
 
i have the same problem as you. i just change my ip just like you, idk y i my ip is blocked either
 
Yeah, I have the same problem also..had to access using proxies..?
 
I've been getting that a lot too lately. I keep having to restart my modem to be able to get into the forum
 
I had to /renew a new IP from my ISP.
 
my ip is fine, but i get a ton of database errors, google saying link is broken, server timeouts, you name it.

i know BHW has a lot of traffic, but damn they need to upgrade their server.
 
last time this happened to me it was like that about for a month so i visited this site using proxies :) I know that i'm most likely wrong but i think that admins has their hands on this ;) ... exampl. banning people for day to month who do not contribute that much but do posting alot.

Morning BHW!
 
They are trying to hide from some DOS attacks that I personally do not think they can ever hide from, but that is just my opinion.;)
Your isp was blocked by the admins here obviously.
Some, if not all the ips I have seen come through here, are now somehow attacking bhw for some reason.
Man, I hope this is not the end of bhw!

Sounds like BHW is hardening the server to the max! Now even my new IP is blocked. I am doing nothing more than reading the forum. I am using a VPN to post this. Perhaps the firewall is blocking specific ISPs. :(
 
It also happened to me, I haven't been able to access the forum snice yesterday. Using a proxy, but it is not the same.
Admins, can you please help?

I'm having the same problem. At first I thought my isp was blocking BHW!
 
I've had this same problem for several months. I am able to load 4-5 pages using my home IP without problem each day, but after that nothing is able to load on this site. However, when I go through a proxy everything is fine.
 
BHW has VERY strict IP filters due to constant attacks. Also their servers have a lot of issues so sometimes your unable to load PM box or post messages or even just load the site.... this is a normal thing for BHW. Unfortunately with legal fees and other expenses just upgrading the server is out of the question atm.

may i ask you to elaborate more on your "legal fees" quote above?
please?
 
Someone is using a forum ip scraper and getting on BHW with your ip, same is happening with me.
