Hey guys,
I just got home from work and found a few emails in my box from legit members that got blocked from the site today for a “string attack”
As it turns out the site really was attacked today by some yoyos out of Russia and the site security software did its job and blocked it. Unfortunately the way the attack was done caused the site security software to permanently block a whole bunch of IP addresses which is how members started getting blocked.
I have cleared all the blocked IP’s and changed things so that the security system wont "permanently" block IP’s but will only block during the time of the attack to avoid this happening in the future.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
