Crazy forum admin has banned your IP?

While browsing among Google results I came upon a board(forum) where it's administrator seems to have decided to ban my IP address for whatever reason. So I was a presented with a nice banner saying:

"A ban has been issued on your IP address"

Which is interesting since I haven't even posted there :) The most likely issue is that a whole network subnet has been banned.

So as usual in a such case - Proxy Switcher to the rescue. Since I have Proxy Switcher running in the background it always has a nice fresh list of currently working servers for me. I picked a server with a low latency, re-tested it to make sure it's still good and switched to it.

Naturally problem was solved - another stupid ban beaten!
