Nah, It's OK. Getting another IP address is not a train smash at all, takes me 5 minutes.

Will check back to see if the range is blocked or only a specific static IP address. It was just strange that I was discussing possible bot attack scenarios yesterday and that my IP address was blocked today. Could just be a coincidence, so let's just leave it there.

To the Moon!
It would help if you could PM me the IP address anyway so we can check against the lists. Getting false positives is a big hindrance to trying to stop bots as we don't want to stop genuine users at the same time.
Solved - I got the new IP address and I am running again. Thanks for the offer, but I am cool. I am not in the habit of giving out personal information to strangers on the internet. ^joke^
I will let you know if this problem persists and then you guys can look into it. Just glad I am operational once again and things are back to normal now. This new IP address may just be the thing I need to change my luck to win the Lotto.
