I have no idea why this would happen, so I have sent a message to the administrators. Not sure when they will see it so hang loose, hopefully we will get an answer.

Tat is very weird and annoying! You might try logging off and logging back on, and see it it will then let you in.

After some thought, I bet someone was banned at one time that happened to have that same address. They will need to clear the address for you.

Hi there,

I can see that you have an AOL IP address, which is dynamic and changes frequently. Your current IP is not on our ban list, it's possible that occasionally you're pulling up an IP that has been previously banned. The easiest way around this if it happens in future, is to log into your router and do a DHCP release & renew to get a different IP address.

cheers, I hope this helps.
