basically, the web server change has been giving me lots of issues connecting to the forums. (right now it's working, sort of off and on) my workaround was proxies, but typical free proxy servers are stuff so i tried out Tor. it worked fine till i posted, which gave me a ban message, so for a moment i thought i was permabanned. apparently it was just some sort of Tor-block ban, it only applied while i was using Tor (which is okay i don't like tor anyway).
so in a nutshell, nothing really happened. i just got banned from using Tor on the forums. still having issues but i'm not dead yet
