New "Mission" of RPF

abhi

@C-Mex Dunno Maybe the automatic one from my internet provider (i'm not good in such things sorry)

I'm thinking of the third-party proxy servers that people use to access sites like Netflix, Hulu and many news sites (which have ridiculous regional restrictions) from outside of the US. Many Americans in Mexico for instance use them to access content in the US but some of these sites will detect the DNS server and block access anyway. I guess some people use them for other reasons such as to hide their identity, and Charlie has had a banner on RPF stating they weren't allowed but I've never had a problem with it on the RPF site until now.

Are you outside of the US? Because I'm thinking that either Charlie is blocking people outside of the US or he's blocking anyone using a DNS service. So he either wants just a US audience participating or he wants to know your computer's identity. Now why would that be?

I also note that it says you may e-mail the site's administrator to resolve it but AFAIK nobody has an e-mail address for 'Charlie' and it is not provided.

@C-Mex No, not using anything like that I'm from Russia yes

CO3

@abhi добро пожаловать :3 думаю, многие серверы сейчас блокируют российские IP как политический акт.

@abhi

Que interesante. I'd be interested to know if any other members or readers are blocked outside of the US.

@CO3

Mexico too, apparently.

CO3

@C-Mex Oh then rather than political it might be smething to avoid scams? or the servers are just partially down

@CO3

If it had to do with having a proxy DNS service I might think so, but @abhi is not using one and I'm still blocked whether I've got the service activated or not.

It makes me think that the block is by location. Is anyone else outside of the US but can still read the RPF?

@Creuset said in New "Mission" of RPF:

Isn't it funny that Charlie, who claims to be a Christian, should use a picture of the pagan god of thunder Thor everytime he bans someone?

What a joke.

It seems that Mr. Law & Order took some feedback, lol.

Just a spot of humour this good Sunday.

I visited that forum this morning. No problems (Europe).

Onza

@C-Mex I also can't access to the RPF (location: Russia).

ThinPicking

@Onza

Interesting. For international conspiratorial reasons I wouldn't expect him to be blocking Russian IPs. Maybe Cloudflare's doing that more broadly.

@JamesGatz

What's cracking Gatz. How's Florida. Have you figured out Iman Gadzhi is another training program. Etc.

@JamesGatz

Also can we please get some meme threads with ridiculous(ly plausible) hypothesis, centered text and amusing imagery. Please.

I'm able to get back on the site this morning, so it looks like it was a server problem. Damn, there goes my conspiracy theory...:

Mulloch94

Is that "mosaic01" person one of Charlie's alt accounts? I ask because dude is literally regurgitating the toxin A stuff verbatim to Charlie's rhetoric. He's either the same person or the most hooked koolaid drinker I've ever seen...at least since the Manson girls.

Peatful

@Mulloch94 if not Charlie. Could be Smith.

Sitaruim

@Mulloch94

I doubt it's Charlie, because Charlie's knowledge of biology seems nil, and his replies show this. While this mosaic guy at least rationalizes in a like manner, but using terms from biology

@CO3 Привет! Не знаю насчет этого, пока ни с чем таким не сталкивались. Так что показалось подозрительным совпадением с тем что происходит на RPF.
