I know some of you are members of this forum too: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Forum I'm pretty sure I've seen @1024MAK there before.
Could anybody confirm whether the forum is working properly now? It's been quite some time since I logged in there (probably a few months) and I get "403 forbidden" error. Could be something to do with my location, but I just wanted to make sure the site is up.
Any CPC Wiki forum users?
Re: Any CPC Wiki forum users?
The forum is working, yes.
Re: Any CPC Wiki forum users?
Yeah, was working fine for me this morning. Bit slow occasionally but that's not abnormal.

The CPC forum is probably stealthily monitoring your general internet usage and what you are writing, and if you are praising the Speccy too much then you'll be considered a Speccy scumbag (owner of the stupid colour-clashing calculator that scarred the CPC with its very existence as it led to those horrible ports) who is not worthy of using their forum

Haha, could be, there are some occasional zealots with these kinda vibes over there, but overall it's not too bad - I always wore my true colours with pride and survived nonetheless.XTM wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 8:55 am @akeley

Thanks for checking, would any of you gents be willing to PM the admin and see what the score is? I could give you my details (nickname, email, location) if so.
Re: Any CPC Wiki forum users?
Nobody willing to help?
Re: Any CPC Wiki forum users?
I can use the forum, and there are posts there from today. Peter
Re: Any CPC Wiki forum users?
PM me your details and I'll pass them on to Gryzor if you like. It's probably something fixable
Re: Any CPC Wiki forum users?
Thank you! PM sent.
I'm not terribly active on that forum but like to have a look from time to time, and mostly I'm just curious why this refuses to work. My guess would be it's something a bit deeper in the interwebs and perhaps outside of Gryzor's jurisdiction. Eg flagging connections from Asia as suspicious... It's the first time I was flat out refused access, but many Euro websites seem to mull over my connection and occasionally bristle up with captchas and the like.

I have a feeling he added a big bunch of IP blocks to get rid of spam at some point and it's likely caught up some ranges that are legit.
