proboards.com blocked my IPs

[greekdude]

Good morning from Greece.

Here is my problem: i am a member of guitarnuts2.proboards.comI wrote to the admins of forum. The admins asked for volunteers to clean up a specific page full of links to external pages, personally being an IT person and old unix/linux/bsd advocate, after some talks back and forth, i volunteered to search a bit and run some script to find dead links. I run linkcheck-1.4. After running this i noticed the guitarnuts2.proboards.com seemed browser-wise as refusing to connect. This was all done from my work NAT IP. Then i used our proxy and did the same with linkchecker-6.6. It was after the same happened with the proxy IP, that i realized that it was me (my scripts) causing the problem in the first place. 
I contacted the admins (by logging in from a 3rd proxy, which now is dead as well)  and they told me there is nothing they can do.
My nick name is greekdude, and i can provide you the IPs if you want. I was only trying to help. Please unblock guitarnuts2.proboards.com for me.

You may contact the owners of this site guitarnuts2 to verify the authenticity of my post.

Thanx a lot.

Hi

An admin will respond a little later today.

Scripts, like the one you used, will result in the IP being blocked, to protect the servers.

Thanx for letting me know, I am sorry for the inconvenience. I am awaiting an admin's response to this. I also hope some mod from guitarnuts2 shows up.

Hi,

I can confirm that the IP has indeed been blocked automatically by our system. I have forwarded your IP to our system admins with a request to have it unblocked. This process may take a few days, however, since the work load for our system admins are rather high, but I'll update this topic to let you know when it's been removed

Update! Should be unblocked now

Looks like I'm late to the party here, greekdude asked me to verify his problem, and to verify that he is indeed one of our treasured members. I'm one of the admins for guitarnuts2.

Thanks for all your help getting this straightened out!

Thanx a lot Ricky!
However only the NAT (masquarade) IP is unblocked. The proxy IP is still blocked. (that's not an issue, but we have two other guitarists in the company, who might potentially wish to join one day). Do you want me to supply the proxy IP to you somehow?
Nice photo and guitar Newey! (btw, are all your pics nude ? )

Hey greekdude,

To unblock the proxy IP as well we'll need you to provide that - either by PMing it to one of us, or by posting here on Support from it.

Hello

The proxy server IP is ....

Thanx!

Thanks greekdude - I submitted the IP for unblocking and it's gone through. You should be good to go.
