Title: MAMEWORLD to GOOGLE?
Post by: FrizzleFried on December 12, 2006, 02:00:38 pm

Am I the only one getting redirected to GOOGLE when I attempt to visit the mameworld forums?  MAMEWORLD.INFO?

Strange....it forwards to GOOGLE on both my PC and MAC systems from this IP address.   Is is possible they forwarded only my IP address for whatever reason?   Sheesh...

Hey, aren't you the one who got banned from the forums? Maybe they banned your IP for some reason. Just use a proxy to get on the site.

Actually, that should work for steveh too. But MySpace at work? C'mon...

I'm not that concerned...this is more a pain in the ass than anything.   I have a separate DSL connection here (redundancy) and I could just access MAMEWORLD with that.

Sorry.  ::)

Hahaha...

...this thread started out asking about if anyone ELSE was getting redirected to google...the other thread started out as a rant...

Redundancy is good sometimes...

So I take it you never found out why you got banned? That stinks...There have to be some members of this forum who are moderators of those forums...right?

And, if I may ask, why the 2nd DSL connection?

Given his love of redundancy, I'm going to go with multiple accounts.
