Hey the same thing happened to me at Hip Forums. Believe it or not, I'm a right-wing nutjob by their standards over there. Hip Forums loves to claim they're a "free speech" zone but they're quick to silence dissenting opinions.

DP is so much better. There's real intellectual diversity here and people truly are free to say (almost) anything they want. I'm glad I got banned from HF, or I never would have found this place.

Me too, again. Said to myself..."well self, they finally came to their senses", then I went to the cave where I keep a guy for screaming at.

I didn't think I had been banned.

I just thought I was ditched because of my pocket protector.

Had to restart some services again - sorry about that. It was running -WAY- too slow. Had to tweak some mysql and apache settings like we had previously (we lost all those settings).

*cross fingers*

Man this sux.

I may have to investigate this. Anyone care to start a betting pool on how long I last?

So, it was the software problem. I thought one of the mod didn't like what I wrote about Islam.

Everything was fine when I logged in yesterday afternoon to surf the forum and then posted my two responses in the topic "Muslim cleric blames women for rape" in the Middle East sub-section. The trouble began when I clicked "submit" button to post my third response. I kept getting an error page.

Later, I couldn't even get access into the "Muslim cleric blames women for rape" topic page despite repeated attempts. I tried other sections with no problem. It appeared others had no problem except me. When I tried to go back to the "Muslim cleric blames women for rape" page, it was again blocked. The more I tried the worst it got. It got to the point that I couldn't even get access to the Middle East sub-section, then not even the International Politics section. I also couldn't get into my mailbox or CP. Then I was blocked from access to the site altogether.

This morning I tried again several times without success. I'm glad your system is now up and running. My thanks to you, your staffs, and the team at hostdime.com for taking the time and effort to get it running again.

I noticed that the two posts that I submitted yesterday that were posted then, are now gone. I'll try to re-post them.

I know recently there had been two forum sites that were down without any explanation. One was a site about Hebrew culture that was down for more than 2 months. The other was a debate forum site about Islam that was down for almost two weeks already. I'm not trying to make any inference, but just to state some factual events that had occurred.
