Trouble accessing UFO-ET Official website?

[Tophat1815]

I wasn't even aware I had registered on the site let alone ever posted there? [8|] Been enjoying the game ever since the first day it was avaliable from matrix for DDL. I have 2 e-mails out to these fellows to see whats going on but in the meantime anyone else having problems with their site?

Currently I see this when trying to access their forums:

The forum/site is fine, it seems you've been banned ! If it's an "error" contact an admin... Maybe you used a PC from which your younger brother posted and get banned ? [&:]

[Tophat1815]

[:D] I have e-mails to both contact numbers they provided. I honestly didn't really remember registering over there let alone posting. Also I'm not some young pup who'd of shot his mouth off,more old crank who'd of been venting. However I love the game and since I put sage's Mod in I've been blastin/getting decimated by aliens!

All the forum activity seemed to me to be centered on the matrix site and that is where I have been. The only reason I went to the official Dev's site was following a link to look at another Mod for the game.

I can always pull my internet connection and then plug it back in to generate a new IP addy. Its simply the principle of being banned for an unknown reason thats annoying me.

Some 4 e-mails sent and not a reply to any as of yet. Makes me appreciate matrix customer service,might not love the reply you get but you do get a reply!

Is there another site that hosts mods for UFo/Et other than the official site?

[Tophat1815]

Very doubtful I will ever receive a msg from the official site,just had an e-mail returned to me marked as spam.

Good idea,just tried it but no joy. Thanks for posting a link though![&o]

Bummer. One of the mods has answered, hopefully you'll get sorted out soon..

Well I doubt he's been banned by user-name - chances are it was his IP that was banned. Probably used as a spammer. Being only a mod I can't look any further into this than this guess-work.

well that takes "caught in a blanket ip ban" off the list.
are you using any kind of ip spoofer/hider ?


methinks i found the problem

Cleveland State University Computer Services

is that about the general area ?

[Tophat1815]

 General area yes. I am not in a University though,just a private dwelling. SBC/yahoo is my  internet provider since they tookover for Ameritech.

then your a victim of the mocla ban methinks.
a nasty little so and so who got banned a while ago.
as his IP changed so often then the ban was probably an area IP ban.

and you have the unfortunate problem of living close to him.

i`ll send a request to see if they can clear it up.


now...dont hate me for saying this,but i have to say it.
if..and i only mean IF you are mocla.
then it can easily be checked.

now i for one dont think you are mocla,
because i took the time to read your posts here,and you dont sound or respond anything like him.
so sending the request now,might take a day or 2 as they are up to thier necks in the patch i think [;)]

[Tophat1815]

Thanks,
Checkout all you like i'm not this molca fellow.I can understand having a problem with someone though. Also I have no complaint about the game at all,just would like to access the Mod section on the Devs forum site.

Thanks verymuch for trying to help me out of this though,its certainly appreciated.

glad to help,your not the first to be caught by IP banning.
hopefully Skalisko will take a break and check his messages soon.

excuse the non replys to your messages to the UFO-ET staff,as game dev`s thier anti spam is probably set to hyperwave decoder so they dont get flooded.
its a curse of being popular and a small group.

as soon as i get a reply i`ll post it here and there so you get the message ASAP.

Matrix aint the only group trying to win the ultimate in customer support/service award for 2007 [:D]

 Thanks! I took a break back to WiTp and returned to be able to get into the developers forum!!! Thanks verymuch for the help!
