Thunder: I got banned from Thunder Fans

power off your modem/router and try again?

LOL that site banned me before I could make a post there when I was going there to wish them luck in the 2012 Finals after winning the WCF, as I was rooting for them since Westbrook was a Bruin and Bennett a former Spurs owner. And plus I hate Seattle.

Try from a proxy. They could possibly see if you had clicked thru from spurs talk, and then identify your IP, which is highly unlikely. Alternatively if they were spiteful enough they could identify if you had a spurstalk cookie, and ban you. But if that was the case everyone who viewed the board would have the same behavior.

the dummy admins probably just blocked a large subnet which you fall in, like blocking a /8 or something

Spurstalk cookies are domain-only. They can't read them without an exploit. I bet you they did block an entire subnet temporarily.

I got banned last year for apparently talking too much . I lasted two days there

Is vbulleting hosting their site?

I've encounter issues with certain boards using chrome. Mainly free boards though. They range from me getting a page error to my ip being banned despite me never having been there before.

Usually if you go to that same board using a different browser, the problem would go away.

Site did the same to me on my airVPN proxy, I switched servers and everything was fine. Also never had a registered account. Whoever runs that site is terrified of ST

Nah, they're renting a server from hostgator, off of Houston, TX

What do you do, Nono? You seem like one smart ass Mexican. Kinda like me tbh.

It's called website analytics. Google it.

So Spurstalk is your internet provider or are you just using it as a proxy? Btw, they banned me because I have a SI cover with the Spurs on it somewhere in my house.

Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here.

He banned your IP. It didn't say he looked up your IP.

Not possible. At all. Ever. The only site that's had the ability to do that is clutchfans, but that's basically the 4chan of basketball forums.

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.

Unless Kim actually broke the internet - the above is not possible.

The only way for this would be if you used a link on ST that sent you to that site. Even in that case the link would have to be formatted in a certain way so that the other site would recognize the referrral from ST.

If you type an URL the other site's server has no way to knowing where you are coming from. If you want to track somebody's internet history without access to his computer's data some other (quite complex) mechanism would need to be in place and sites would have to cooperate (or at least be hacked).
