AOL is blocking this site. I've tried to visit this site using AOL from three different locations, and it is blocked on all three. But from the same locations I can visit this site using IE and Firefox.
The message I get from AOL is this:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Can anyone explain? Thanks.

This may have to do with some additional security the webmaster is working on. I'll forward this to him.

I have the same issue with the mobile browser that comes with android. This started some time yesterday.
Hmm... this suggests lots... but good luck with stopping it!

The problem should be fixed now. Please let me know if anybody still has issues.

I'm using my Mac with Firefox, as usual, but I just tried my Samsung Android on Sprint using the "Internet" app at 4:15 p.m. EDT. No problem getting to this thread at all.
Edit: Ooops! Late again on the simultaneous posts.

AOL is using its own proxy servers for its users, meaning that:
1. Lots of AOL users have the same IP at the same time and
2. If you are using AOL, your IP, as the forum sees it will be different from one visit to another.
If some of the previously banned users (statman?) was using AOL, then #1 explains why you could not access the forum before, amnd #2 explains why you can access it now.

My local public library's computer thinks its a gambling site rather than a gambling-analysis site.
