John Nicholson and I have both been blocked from Spiceworks. What’s up with that? We aren’t the only ones, our entire companies are blocked!

I’m intrigued… Blocked?

Didn’t know Spiceworks blocked people / companies :-\

Maybe related, maybe not, but about 5 minutes ago all community pages I tried to open showed “irregular activity detected from your IP.” The issue self-resolved before I even had time to send an email to support.

I saw that too, it only happened on one page and went away.

Kris unblocked us, we are back in.

Yup, that was it. Some huge IP ranges were hit by that.

I hacked my way in!

I actually used a VPN looping my IP address through Canada.

They just wanted to give someone else a chance to be the high poster… if even for a day…

Scott Alan Miller is clearly an alias that many people use, many of which don’t know what they are talking about. It should be blocked!

This was a brief blip on our end, sorry about that. Nothing intentional on either side

A shift + refresh in the browser should resolve any lingering problems.

We use SSL-Explorer. Works great.
