You could always register, hang around for a bit and get banned....
That way you can experience the real thing

They are owned bu August Home Publishing, certainly no small outfit. There is money behind this one so I would suspect they have the resources to do more than the average Joe...

Part of my curiosity is that I like to know what info I a giving out when I visit sites and in this case, they know something about me that I do not... Not cool in my mind...

I would like to have the ability to maintain my right to privacy. There's something kind of sneaky going on there. At least that is my suspicion.

This is what I did several times...

1. I cleared all cookies.
2. ipconfig /release
3. ipconfig /renew
4. Verified new IP address
5. Rebooted system
6. I then logged onto the proxy I was using to maintain my privacy
7. Here, I could read the forums. So, I created a new identity with a gmail account.
8. I received the email registration link and copied it to the note pad.
9. I then used the proxy to go to the final registration link and I completed the registration.
10. It immediately generated a PM (I assume a welcome message) but when I tried to access it, I got booted from my log in.
11. Yesterday (before being un-banned) I tried to go directly through the registration process without the use of the proxy and got the same result.

It is possible they have the proxy on their banned list.
I am tempted to log on with one of the previously banned identities now that I have access to see if it now works.
I am also tempted to log on again with the proxy to see how tha now behaves.
However, not knowing how they are doing it makes me reluctant to take a chance now that I have access again. Multiple user accounts will get me banned in a heart beat.

They did me in again....
Not sure of the reason this time.
I posted an article in the Projo today about the guy that was injured at work in Lincoln and complained about illegal immigration.
Last night I posted copies of the "New Books" thread.

I guess either one could have done me in.

In any case, when I go to the log-on page here:
WoodNet Forums: Please login

And I see this....
