 |

The site has a new ban list in place, that blocks all "bad" IP addresses:
| Quote: | | Following persistent attempts to scrap the contents of our site by various bots, I decided to block access from commonly abused IP addresses. In total, there were more more than 30000 IP addresses banned, and many of those are open proxies, hacked computers, or shared IP addresses. It is very unfortunate that we had to resort to this measure because we may have blocked some legitimate visitors, but I'd rather do that than spend a lot of time dealing with annoying site scrapers and comment/forum spammers. |
If your IP address is blocked then please contact me or send an e-mail to webmaster at cpu-world.com, and I will whitelist your IP.
