i doubt that very much
It doesn't make any sense. I never made an account there. I never posted there. I never even did anything there. All I did was lurk.
Then, it hit me. Their administrators must have detected from my IP Address that I came from SpursTalk. So apparently, merely being associated with SpursTalk is now grounds for being banned from other teams' forums.
Spurs fans have been blackballed there since the "Patrick Beverly Appreciation Thread", tbh..they didn't take kindly to that at ThunderFans..
doubt it. I have a troll account waiting to use when the time is right and it's still up and running
They anticipated your stupidity and lack of basketball knowledge. Don't feel bad, this site does that for you.
this is not possible dummy
Can someone be this ing dumb?![]()
Site administrators can detect which website a user comes from via their IP address. For instance, if I'm on SpursTalk, then go to ThunderFans, they'll be able to tell where I came from.
It's called website analytics. Google it.
They can't do that via the IP address. What you're talking about is called HTTP referer and it only happens when you click on a link in Spurstalk that takes you to their site.
I don't outright know why they banned you, but your IP has likely nothing to do with it.
BTW, did you use the same nickname there as here?
I'm no techy but this is very innacurate.
You can only analyze data from a particular user when he or she is on your site and that is only to inform the webmaster how frequently you visit his site via your IP, not to track where you come from and where you'll go.
That's more along the lines of what a hacker do.
Again, not an expert or even mildly knowledgeable about the interwebs but I'm certain an admin of a board cant tell where you just came from. The whole I know where you just came from its very far fetch and implausible at best.
You're clearly no techie.
You say you're "certain" of it, but you've obviously never used an analytics tool. I suggest once again that you Google what website analytics are, and marvel at how powerful they can be. Because what you refer to as "far-fetched" and "implausible" is reality.
Then how else would you explain this, considering I've never even posted in that website:
Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here.
No. I told you, I never made an account there. I never posted. I never did anything. All I did was lurk.
its common to ban somebody's IP address instead of a username tbh... that prevents you from cir venting their "ban" by just making a new account. that doesn't mean they banned you BECAUSE of your IP
maybe they banned all Aussie IP's because Adams is from New Zealand![]()
It's possible they banned a whole block of IPs if they're getting attacked. We've done that in the past in some of our sites when we're getting hammered from certain addresses.
Try later, but I suspect it's not just you.
They banned my account but I can still lurk.
I may be wrong, but you ain't right either.
Ah, I see. That would explain it. Thanks.![]()
I run. My cartel websites and there's no ing way they will bother to check IPs that went to spurstalk and ban them IF thats even possible which is not unless they are sniffing your network. Wake up. With the gigabytes of data a millisecond they are not going to bother even trying.
Now the most plausible explanation is that they either banned a bunch of users or a block of IP addresses like my Mexican brother Nono said
