I guess I've got a wee bit of addiction to checking this site but I managed to hold of on using a proxy to get around the ban to be able to figure out what the hell was going on :)
With that in mind though, how can I actually tell if I ever get banned?

And I thought I was banned because I've entered too many giveaways from LostSoulVL in a short period :)

Blimey, that was a small panic attack!
Glad it was an error, though ^^

Nevermind some downtimes - as long as SG comes back stronger, better and more awesome than before :)
Thank you for all your work cg and have a nice day!

Thanks for the explanation and the upgrade, I was pretty worried for a while, lol.
EDIT: I decided not to blacklist you for this, at least for now... ;P

All hail CG! Overlord cg is best overlord!
Now srsly, thanks a lot for all your time and effort, also the rest of the site's team.

I like how you actually explain the issue, instead of "herp derp, technical problems, fixed soon" like most other sites.
But yeah, I was like "what did I say wrong again". Happens way too often anyway.

Thought as much... lucky I saw some posts about it happening to several others before it hit me, so no panic.
Thanks for the fastfix cg, as always.

If you were visiting the site in the past few hours, you likely noticed a temporary IP block and were unable to access the site. This was a bug related to the recent upgrades to our servers. If you were blocked, it was simply in error, and not your fault.
Our site temporarily blocks IP addresses if they're making too many invalid requests. If you view the attached image, you can see we introduced a load balancer today between the user and our web servers. This caused our database to start incorrectly logging the local IP address of our load balancer as the source of invalid requests, instead of the IP address of the user. When the invalid request limit was reached, the IP address of our load balancer, and all incoming traffic was blocked. The site has been updated in the past hour to fix the bug and to accurately resolve user IP addresses with our new load balancer in place, so everything should be working as expected once again. Sorry about the brief downtime.
