    If you have come over from Bent Rider OnLine (BROL) to check out this forum give a shout out. Thought this thread might give an idea of how many of us are trying a different forum since BROL access has become so unpredictable.

    I belong to both. Two BROLers that I know of, Steamer and Trsnrtr both report being unable to access this site because their ISPs are flagged and no way to contact AD.

    FWIW: Steamer was on BROL 2/6/22 morning. I SOMETIMES can get on with zero issues, other times major issues, and less frequently no access.

    Hey Mark, how's it going? What are your current rides? I know you are like me and change bikes so often it is hard to keep up on what you are riding.

    :eek9: I am sorry to learn of BROL's current state and hope it can be resolved in time. I just wanted to chime-in and thank iambent for letting me know about some folks not being able to access the board due to IP-Address issues. As I told him, I'll be happy to look into why anyone's IP Address may be blocked and try to get it resolved. We don't allow TOR Exit Node access to the board and we use StopForumSpam to weed-out spammers as they try to sign up. So if you are a spammer per StopForumSpam, you would need to clear yourself there before getting access to the board here.

    :hand7: However assuming that is not the case if you are having an issue accessing or registering on the board here, feel free to contact me at CONTACT_US:at:RRI.nospammail.net and I will certainly look into it. :thumbsup: [TIP see: What's going on with the (at) symbol on this board?)

    P.S.
    TIPS: 1)No username on the board has an :at: symbol within it and, 2)Don't try to login with multiple usernames, as the board watches for such and bans it as a hacking attempt.

    For instance...
    :update:
    With a little more info and some research of the logs, I think I've been able to determine why some folks were getting their IP Address banned. No fault of their own, just trying to access the board here at the same time a bad-bot was trying to login trying nonexistent usernames. :embarrassed9: I've made some adjustments as to what constitutes an IP Address ban, so hopefully it won't happen anymore now. :thumbsup:

    Hopefully we will hear of a complete fix before long, but I'm done with BROL roulette for awhile.

    Thanks for unblocking my IP address. As for BROL, even if I get in, I may or may not be able to navigate. I wonder if it will ever get fixed.

    I would like to welcome all BROL members. I am the original founder of RRI though I take a diminished role now. We are glad to have you and our boards are rock solid because of our webmaster AD. He is running the show now and doing well! :)

    iambent -
    As you can tell, I'm not in front of a screen quite as much as I used to be! :) Still working and riding as much as I can. Here is my all-star lineup:
    ICE Adventure HD (full rigid 20x3)
    Greenspeed Anura RL (now a 2x9, 42/58, 11-36)
    RANS Stratus
    Rans Velocity V3 AL - my most recent acquisition. I thought of you when I got this one. Didn't you have one similar at one time? There don't appear to be a lot of these around.

    PM me, and maybe we can get a bite or coffee and talk bike stuff!

    Oh, and I have a few DFs too. :)
