SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ay, What is with the RPGSite blocking my web browser?...

...when I'm trying to access it from my Linux machines.

1) There is no Web Bot. I haven't set one up so not sure where there message is coming from.

2) Blocking the IP is bad idea. it's from a public IP pool.

3) I'm not making any illegal calls to your website that I know of. If my browser is doing it, show me the code, and I'll get the people on the horn responsible.

4) I'm using a Firefox browser. If your website is blocking Firefox, you are losing 6% of your entire readership, and if you are blocking Mozilla based browsers, you are excluding 24% of your potential readership.

Attached is the error message I'm getting when trying to access theRPGSite...

Wait, ...we can't even post images anymore? WTF? Here the error message parked on Google Drive for reference...

Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with your browser. Your IP address is likely the culprit. You're using two different IP addresses. I'm looking into it.

Thank You, I'll try that again when I get home. Also message size seems to be disabled here. I'm not on Twitter!

Next time it happens, look for the letter at the bottom in parenthesis and tell me what it is.

Found it. Malformed line. Should be fixed.

Thanks!  I was facing a similar issue when I was using the VPN.

Exact same thing here, except it just started today. It's not my IP, because switching from Firefox to a different browser worked.

What's in parenthesis at the bottom of the error page and what does it say your browser is?

No, just therpgsite.com typed into the address bar, like always. I was using private mode, and it's Firefox 80.0.1 64-bit, if that matters.
