JP banning Countries[HostMarks]

Assalamuilakum

Hello all.
Am not really sure, of what is going on in AO..for the fact that most countries are banned to connect to AO irc.chat.... :o
But what i dont know, y JP has banned MOST contries? This remain a mystery to me...and also y he did TOOK out some countries out of the list...like Australia, Belguim, canada, US..
Now, the question goes..what about othersand y?

Here is a logg :confused:

Pls, could any one Just explain y this? and is it gonna be lifted OR not..and when?
well, i was Just thinking that , JP did it,cos of the site going down often.

Thanks. :D

You say you're from Belgium, yet your TLD is Israel?
Don't know what's up with that, but that's one of the reasons for the bannings....

Easy answer; JP owns this site, he's a few light years ahead of most of us in knowing how to protect his cyber-investment and knows where his problems might come from.
And we're guests enjoying the fruits of his hard work and association with knowledgable collegues in the security computing field.
Next case.

even people in the united states are banned, optonline...and im kinda pissed off about it. i diddent do anything, nd i rewlly would like to get into the rooms.

Yeah i dont quite agree with it.... but it IS his server so i guess we cant really complain :/

as long as dsli.com isnt banned im a happy camper

is there anything he can do about the alex thing other then ban all of us
(optonline)

Yeah yesterday i got all of AOL banned off the irc so Jp\GOD is being a bit tempermental about this stuff... I think he should cool off but if its his server then he is god. If i had the money right now i would have a server up and running for irc... but i need another 600$ to do so... any donations? i will accept them freely and i'll give back to the donators partal control over the server, It will have Games running off of it so this might be kinda tricky to keep down lagg but i have priced it all out... 600$ is what i will need self building it... so i will be putting up a post SOS for money donations.......

Greetings:

The bans are lifted, and were a temp. thing due to some floodbot problems....

Everyone can once again chill out, heh.
