I am banned from this forum...I am hardly active there and cant even remember posting anything much.

Am I the only one or have they banned all IP of Airtel or something like that ?


I see similar bans on many other forums....some of which I am not even a member 😕 ...I guess Indians are not behaving well :ishock:

What is the solution to this ? Should I get a static IP and make a request to the forum admin to unban me ? How much does it cost for a static IP from Airtel ?

Thanks.... that kicked me out with the same banned message but could log in with a different one.

I got exactly 2 posts since Join Date 04-27-2003....I wonder if that qualifies me as a world record holder with lowest number of forum posts :thumbsup:
