Ok, since....

Metrocast says it's not their problem and SOMD says the same, I'm open to suggestions.

I can log on the boards from work but not from home. It's only the forums. I can get on the SOMD home page and it's links. Iv'e tried to access from there...no dice.

Metrocast does that "TRACERT" thing and the connection times out in Dallas. Metrocast says that proves I left their servers.

Aren't SOMD's servers in TX??

It sounds like there is a problem with the ban function. When you were banned, it only banned your home IP. Your work IP should also be banned.

I thought about that. I figured if they wanted to ban me, they'd ban the name too so I couldn't log in from work. Vrai insists I'm not banned and it's not them.
