Anyone tried to logon to this site today? I've just tried to access the site and get nothing but the message "You have been banned from this forum."
loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Yes, was on there yesterday, so the message you've received was probably genuine.

    I got IP-banned from there years ago without any warning. I can't remember why exactly, but it was either for crossposting something from there on here, or for posting on a thread about a P2P investment I didn't own. They are quite trigger-happy. (Their club their rules.) 

    So as per others, I suspect it's a genuine ban.

    Maybe a blessing in disguise as I find it quite depressing, with all those threads about bankruptcies, platforms in administration, fraud etc . Like revisiting a bad dream .

    I know what you mean, but the companies I have money in have avoided those problems (apart frim the threat to Unbolted from the litigation-hungry lawyer, it was fun watching that unfold).

    Seems it might be genuine, cleared all browser data and still get the message.  Would be nice to know why though.
