about the osfaq

[gT]

Using googles caches is a very hard thing to do :-\


Anyways, my ISP has all its IPs familiar to each other, but my IP is always the same (everyones from my ISP have the same IP assigned each time).

[df]

Why the heck should I be in some kind of ban? What's the story for banning me, or my whole ISP, or something even bigger?

when I get a lot of spam from particular ISPs, I ban them. I get their IP netblocks and deny access.

it only takes a bad apple to ruin things for others but that is life.

You might wish to catch the "all in one" pages then: that will save you the hassle of google-caching a large amount of pages.

Do you think it is possible to add a rule for enabling him, df ? I suppose if there's a way to tell the ISP should be blocked for Wiki edits but that it's allowed for *viewing* pages however ... would you be happy with a read-only wiki, gT ?

[gT]

Of course! ;D I do not have much experience about OSes, so I don't think I could add something there now.

"All in One Introduction"

All-In-One References

parts of the FAQ haven't been All-in-One'd yet, unfortunately...

[df]

i could probably change the

<limit get put post> and remove the get... so im assuming it would be readable but not post/put able...

i;ll have to think about it

Anyways, my ISPs IPs changed about a half year ago. So if you've banned <my ISP> from the faq before the ip change, then I think you can now unban my ISP. (old IPs were very different, if I'm not mistakeing, my old IP was 213.252.215.164 ::) )

[df]

most of the 84.x.x.x is a russian spam block... but your IP is not listed in my list, (84.32.61.122). so wherever your posting from, is coming through ok. the whole 84.32.x.x is fine on my list.

hint, if you can see this message board, you can see the FAQ...

the 213.252.* is blocked tho.

[gT]

If so, then what's the problem? :'(

I'm posting from my home PC, I've tried to access the faq from my friends pc (his IP is 82.135.152.42 and he's from a different ISP) and he could access it (although he got XML error, but no 403, so that means he can access). I think that my ISPs IP range is somewhere about 84.32.60.xxx to somewhere about 84.32.63.xxx, maybe smaller.

[df]

i have no idea. the ip banning system is .htaccess file in the root of my server, it does not restrict the faq anymore or than the forum. its all one thing.

if you can see the forum, you should be able to see the faq.
if you cant, I dont know why.

[gT]

I can not access www.mega-tokyo.com too. Maybe there's some kind of problem? ??? I'll try to access the faq from my friend, who's in the same ISP on saturday.

[df]

next time you do it, get me the exact IP your on so I can check.

[gT]

My IP is 84.32.61.122, as logged in the forum.

Edit: Or do you want my friends IP?

By the way, though I have not the problem described above, I constantly get an XML error with Internet Explorer 6, but not with Firefox 1.0+, on the main page. The server also seems not to respond sometimes (randomly).

Well, I've tried it on Mozilla Firefox too, but I get always 403 error.
