Your ip is not listed as being banned on these forums. Perhaps it is the LimeWire beta forums that banned a range of spammer ip ranges. That is a separate forum. Otherwise you would not have been able to register here if your ip was banned at these forums, or create a new thread for that matter.

Do you use Peerguardian by any chance? If yes, you need to allow http I think it is. Birdy or others would know more about that. For some odd reason, Peerguardian has this forum site listed as a bad address. lmao
