The weird thing sometimes I can log in without VPN, like in the morning, but most of the time I can't without VPN. Drives me crazy.
We occasionally get ad spammers from different places in the world that fill the forum with those ads like, "Get cheap sportsball jerseys here" so we block an IP addy instead of playing whack-a-mole throughout the forum. Send me your IP address I will check it against our list.
"Hey SlyPokerDog, I've got all this swag in my office for you, when are you going to pick it up?" "I'm running a contest for our foreign Blazer fans so I wanted to to use your postage to mail stuff out to the winners." "Can you end the contest this week so I can get the stuff out of my office?" "Not a problem, thanks!"
@PtldPlatypus amd @Chris Craig don't worry about ending your contests, I'll pay for the postage out of my own pocket.
