Well, I was checking my emails this morning and tried to click on the Autopia forum and, to my surprise, I couldn't log in because I was banned. I have sent a message to the administrator to find out why I was banned, but I can't seem to think of any reason why.

Trying to retrace my steps, I don't remember insulting anyone or accusing anyone of anything. The only questionable thing I think I could have done is that I mentioned purchasing Poorboy's BOGO from AG, but isn't AG a sponsor? Maybe they didn't like it because I didn't mention that in their "Good deals" section.

It's not too big a deal, since there are other detailing forums I can visit and I don't think I was exactly a huge contributor or anything. Still, it's a little frustrating to get treated like that after being a member for so long.:(

Update: This is just stupid. I get the message that I got banned and I'm told to "click here" to contact administrator to find out why I was banned. I leave a message asking why and I get a notice that the adminstrator is not accepting any messages from me. Talk about being excommunicated.

I am a moderator over on Autopia and I just checked and I see no indication that you are banned from the forum. How do you know you are banned. Did you receive a message from one of the other moderators???
 
I got a few emails indicating replies to threads I have replied to. I clicked on the links to the threads and was taken to a site that said my IP address has been banned. I also tried accessing Autopia through my bookmark and was told the same thing.
 
Your ip was banned not your account. Just turn your modem off and on again so you get a new IP.

Ip's change and are not specific to one person. They might have banned the IP due to a spammer and you just happen to be using that IP right now
